We should all read this because cricket is the grandpa of baseball. Baseball there can be a lot of runs and game can go on for a long time but nowhere near as many points and for as long as cricket.

I didn't know Virat Kohli would get a penalty if he high fived the umpire after hitting a sixer. Everyone should just jump up and down and cheer. No penalties. And boundaries are difficult to hit. I think guys like hitting boundaries because it's when they hit a boundary it's like they can go outside their boundaries and not get yelled at but cheered for it's their team.

I don't know much about cricket but a boundary seems like it has to be a low ball hit so hard that it goes so fast that nobody can catch it or if they do their hand will hurt for a few weeks even with a good glove.

Like the umpire signals. They should have umpires like this with appropriate signals for people who get really angry and can't stop yelling at each other. Make a video of it so they realize how so foolishly stupid they are behaving and no, it is is not a good mode of communication no matter what the alpha guys say.

I know Preity Zinta is a co-owner of the Punjab Kings but I guess you need to live in Punjab just like Bangalore fans need to live in Bangalore.

Great to see this cricket tale. More please. Thanks.

I don't know if he will get the penalty. I actually don't know much about cricket even now🤫😂. But the whole experience was fun. Glad you had fun with it. Will keep articles like this coming.
