Gillidanda

Gilli Danda is an ancient sport originating from South Asia, which is still widely played throughout South Asia. The sport is also found as far north as the Mediterranean and as far east as South East Asia. It was a precusor to cricket in India.

The game is played with two sticks: a large one called a danda, which is used to hit a smaller one, the gilli. It bears many similarities to bat and ball games such as cricket and baseball.

Gullidanda is an ancient sport, possibly with origins over 2500 years ago.
