Gully Cricket Tournament

The Sports Club of IFMR (B-Sportive) organized a gully cricket tournament. Rules of the game were quite different and strange, as in hitting the walls directly was out, concept of dummy runner etc. But these rules were quite well known to the students, some even having attained tags like “boom boom Afridi” or “Mr. Dependable”. In total 10 teams participated in the event and each team had 6 players.  Names of the teams were quite interesting: “sons of pitches”, “gusto”, “sumo cricketers”, “deccan kings” etc.

All teams played with very high passion and enthusiasm. We had the privilege to witness many close matches. Those who were not participating also showed lot of interest, with a healthy audience present.

The final was between “Sons of Pitches” and “Deccan Kings”. It was a very tight match, but in the end deccan kings chased the score and won the tournament.

Because of such a high response for gully cricket tournament, the sports club will be organizing gully cricket champions league soon.
