The India’s answer to baseball and cricket. Really hard game and one needs ample amount of reflex, body balance, concentration, level of intelligence, fitness and of course team work.  Game needs one big stick which is called ‘Danda’ and one small piece of wood with sharpened ends called “gilli“. The player then uses the danda to hit the gilli at the raised end, which flips it into the air. While it is in the air, the player strikes the gilli, hitting it as far as possible. Having struck the gilli, the player is required to run and touch a pre-agreed point outside the circle before the gilli is retrieved by an opponent. If he failed to do so then he has to carry the longer stick to his head to the starting point.
