Street
cricket
has
been
an
integral
part
of
almost
everyone’s
childhood,
especially
if
you
are
born
in
a
cricket-crazy
nation
like
India.

On
Thursday
(September
15),
Kohli
recalled
funny
street
cricket
slangs
used
during
his
childhood
in
a
video
uploaded
by
him
and
sportswear
brand
PUMA
on
its
social
media
platforms.

A
video,
titled
Do
You
Know
Your
Cricket
Slang
put
the
spotlight
on
Kohli
as
the
batting
icon
explained
the
meanings
of
popular
local
slangs
used
in
Indian
street
cricket
such
as
‘Batta’ and
‘Baby
Over’.

Kohli
couldn’t
hold
back
the
laughter
as
he
narrated
the
instances
in
response
to
local
cricket
terms.
“Batta
is
a
desi
and
rugged
word
for
chucking,”
Kohli
said
as
part
of
his
funny
response
to
the
term
as
he
spent
some
light
moments
off-the-field
in
a
short
fun
video
clip.

Kohli
also
spoke
about
Baby
Over
and
trials
or
grace
ball
in
the
video.
Batta
is
a
commonly
used
word
in
Indian
street
cricket
where
a
bowler
might
chuck
the
ball.
Baby
Over
is
a
commonly
used
word
for
calling
bowling
change
midway
through
the
over.
Trials
is
as
the
name
says
a
trial
delivery
before
the
innings
starts.

The
33-year-old
batting
legend
is
also
known
for
his
fun
and
jovial
side.
The
amusing
video
clip,
organised
by
PUMA,
witnessed
the
passionate
cricketer’s
off-the-field
personality.
Cricket
is
full
of
offbeat
terms
and
expressions
and
a
successful
player
ought
to
know
his
game-glossary
well.

Kohli
has,
undoubtedly,
performed
exceedingly
well
over
the
last
few
weeks,
slamming
his
much-awaited
71st
century
as
well
as
two
half-centuries
to
conclude
tournament
as
the
second
highest
run-getter.

PUMA
and
Kohli
share
a
close
associationsince
2017.
PUMA
also
collaborates
with
him
on
brand
one8.
The
German
sportswear
brand
is
also
the
official
kit
partner
of
IPL
franchise
Royal
Challengers
Bangalore
with
Kohli
as
a
key
player
in
the
team.
