Galli Cricket at ISB

While BCCI and other market makers are busy in creating newer formats and newer teams to rake in more moolah, a small group of us decided to get back to the most played format of cricket in India - Tennis ball galli cricket. There is no moolah involved and the objective is only entertainment.

Rules are simple - if the ball crosses the boundary directly, it's not a six instead the batsmen is out. Similarly there are no runs behind the wicket and players from both sides field all the time. This unconventional format has so many grey areas that would lead to information asymmetry, agency problems and moral hazard in a corporate scenario but we have been able to overcome all those issues by simply eliminating all economics and having only social aspects in the game.

Key players in this format as of now are - Amit Goel, Anshuman Srivatsava, Puneet Sakhuja, Mukund Chari, Rao Korupolu, Nishant Rawat, Pinaki Sarkar, Kairoze Motishah and we are expecting to gather more support in the coming weeks. We have kept this private and wouldn't want to attract too much attention and maintain our monopoly over the ground and the fun. Cheers

    yeh toh bahut na insaafi hai.
    Na kabile maafi hai...

    Hum bhi khelne ko jab raazi hai,
    Toh Wallah, tum humein kyon nahin bulaati hai?

    Cheers!
