Way back, in 1550 a small group of children started playing cricket in a little English Village called Surrey. Over the span of hundreds of years, the sport grew immensely and today it is one of the biggest and most glamorous games in the world.

Annual cricket events like IPL and various other T20 matches draw attention to the sport and increases interaction with the fans. When it comes to the world cup though, things are different.

International cricket teams formed by each nation go against each other and to the people of the countries participating in the World Cup, winning the title becomes a matter of pride and joy. The ICC World Cup comes once in four years and turns countries into rivals on the pitch.
