Children play cricket with unique rules in Tal Chhapar village of Gopalganj. The batsman is dismissed when the ball goes to a shot or a vegetable field above the boundary.

Amazing rules of cricket to be held in the street of the village
GopalganjThe soil of Gopalganj has always been fertile for cricket. Mukesh Kumar, who grew up playing in the streets and fields here, is a national level player today. Even today, the children of the village play cricket in the fields and streets, considering them as their ideal. Rustic cricket has its own rules, which change from time to time according to the convenience and situation of the players.
When the ‘Local-18’ team spoke to the children playing cricket in a field in Tal Chhapar village of Kuchayakot block, it became difficult to stop the smile after knowing their unique rules. Ankush Kumar, a child playing cricket, said that if a player’s shot goes over the boundary, he is considered out, while the ball hitting the ground is surprised. Runs can also be taken by running.
New rules made in this way
The most important rule is that if the ball goes to the front vegetable farm, then the batsman is considered out. On asking the reason, the children told that the field is small and if the ball goes into it again and again, the field will be angry. So that they will have to stop the match. That is why he has made a rule that the batsman hit a fours but did not hit a six in the vegetable field.
Rohan Kumar, playing cricket, said that to play cricket here, it is not necessary to have a team of 11-11 players. If 10 players reach the field, then a 5-5 team is formed. And if there are 12 players, then a 6-6 team is formed. Many times it happens that very few players come, so all the fielding is fielding and a player batting. The match is decided according to the run. The one who scored the most runs is declared the winner. Marking is also done with colored stones or marks for the run. Bamboo make wickets.
