Cricket was introduced by the colonising British all over the world. In many places, the game was absorbed by local communities and transformed into something different. In this episode, your Simblified hosts look at two such variants which emphasize social bonding and pretty much lose the competitive angles.

NEW TO SIMBLIFIED? It's an Indian podcast - probably the best to come from Malad West - that takes things that happen around us, and deconstructs them in a language you can understand, often surmounting several puns and PG Wodehouse references along the way. We aim to make you appear smarter during parties, job interviews, and dates.

Your hosts (and Twitter / Instagram handles) are Chuck (@chuck_gopal / @chuckofalltrades), Srikeit (@srikeit, @srikeit) and Naren (@shenoyn, @shenoynv).
