Cricket is always seen as a gentleman’s game and a summer sport. Countries around the world start their season in the peak summer season. A very evident example of the same is the Test series between England and India being played in the summer season in the UK. The first Test of the series starts from August 4 with the two teams looking to win the series.
Meanwhile, a video of gully cricket posted by famous business tycoon Harsh Goenka has gone viral. It shows a few young people playing gully cricket in the rain with one completing a diving catch as well. Goenka captioned his post saying “Why cricket is religion in India”.

Gully Cricket In Growing Up Years
Cricket is known for being a religion itself in India and the post has all the more validated the statement. It triggers the childhood memories of many people from the 90s playing gully cricket during the rainy season. Generally, football is the sport associated with rain. However, in India, the game of cricket is played in every season and in any weather condition.
People like us can very well relate to the post by Harsh Goenka, which is why it is very relevant to the cricket fans of today’s times. The game of cricket is beyond every religion in India. It also breaks the boundaries and borders unites the people of the country like nothing else can.
Every match that the team plays, keeps its fans on the edge. Here in India, a win is celebrated like a festival while a loss is mourned equally as well. The extreme facial expressions is also a reason why the game of cricket defines so much more about an Indian fan.
There is nothing like an Indian cricket fan. Even at overseas venues, there are more Indian fans than that home team whenever India plays a game of cricket. The Indian team playing in overseas conditions and especially in England is a spectacle to behold with fans flocking in large numbers to support their team.
The Indian cricket team will play England in a five-match series away from home. The support for Virat Kohli’s men will be second to none. In all the five venues that the matches will be played, Indian fans are sure to outnumber the home fans, if fans are expected to get inside the stadiums. The BCCI and the ECB is working out strategies for the same to happen.
Meanwhile, gully cricket will continue to remain a big part of an Indian boy’s growing up years. Also, India is perhaps the only country where cricket is played even in the monsoon season.
