The Cricket Game, Sikkim India
While I was traveling in Sikkim with my kids in October 2022 on one of our walks we came across the field that was located not too far from our Farm House, the locals were setting up the field for the cricket game, the locals versus the rivals - the neighboring village. Me and my older son decided to take a few minutes and watch them, while we sat there they tried recruiting me as an extra player as they were a little short on people, I declined and found that the game will be starting later on that day, so we finished up our walk and when we returned the game was in full swing, money betting, players worming up taking the game very serious so we stayed and watched while I took the opportunity to snap a few clicks as they say in India.
Enjoy! Comments and feedback are welcomed!
The field located on the high grounds, one out of bounce ball means one lost ball.
Game on!
A little repetitive frame, adjusted for a different view.
The baller was our cook in the Farm Stay.
I absolutely love the jump before the ball release, makes up for a great capture.
