It’s the cricket season now with the ongoing IPL followed by the World Cup series that is to begin soon. Many restaurants worldwide have been cashing in on the sporting opportunity, be it cricket or soccer or tennis.
In India, cricket is not just a sport, rather a religion of sports that people follow ardently.
