And we leave you today with these jokes.
A cricket player named Ravi was out of form. His mom called him on his cell phone during the match. His team mate Rahul took the call and said, “Sorry, Ravi just went to bat.” “Don't worry,” Ravi's mom replied. “Just chat with me for a couple minutes and he'll return by then.”
By the way, do you know what animal is the best at cricket? A bat of course!
And last but not least, what's an insect's favorite sport? You guessed it — cricket!!!
