Foreigner plays Cricket with Indian Locals (IPL)🇮🇳

Good evening guys and welcome back to another video here in Mumbai, India. Today I'm going to be going to a place called Oval Ground I think to play some cricket. Well hopefully we're going to play some cricket. It's actually rush hour in a minute so you can see it's extremely busy. We've got everyone walking home from work or going to the train station which is just behind me here. So we're heading in that direction. I'm not exactly sure how to get over there but we're gonna have to cross a few roads. Everyone's in a rush today, jeez. So we've got to keep our wits about us when we're walking, see we don't get run over and yeah this is an absolutely beautiful area. There's so much historical areas around here. We've got statues and we got I think the High Court office is one of the main buildings here. So I'm still unsure how to traverse this building site over here but we'll get there inshallah we get there and yeah I was actually passing in a taxi and I saw them playing cricket so I was like just get out of the taxi and then we'll see. Okay we made it. I can see over there they're definitely still playing. We've got about an hour of sunlight left so we're all good for sunlight but will they let us play that's the question. Okay so we're just walking up to the park now and look at this greenery it's like there's not many cities I go to where there's like so much greenery within the city. Namaskar bhai sahib and here we go. So I think there's some serious cricket games going on and some you know less serious. We want to be on the less serious maybe we want to be on the more serious. There's people in so we don't want to mess with them. We want to we want to see if there's anyone just playing a little bit of street cricket. Namaskar. Let's have a look. You can see here it's absolutely beautiful you've got many different people playing cricket you've also got this clock tower which I think is called the Raja something clock tower and this is hello brother. Namaskar. Hey guys we found the entrance after a long walk. Oh wow this is amazing. We've got so many different people playing and we've got an actual oh we've got two serious games playing. There's no boundary though. How do they know when they've scored a four? Oh they're not wearing helmets either. Let's have a look at this and then maybe we'll go over and see if we can play some cricket with these boys. But let's have a look let's have a look see how fast they're bowling here.

Wow. These guys are seriously good. Like very good. Yeah. He's bowling very quick and the pitch is so uneven that that guy just, you know, these guys are really, really good. I guess this is how you get good by playing on uneven surfaces and then when you play on good surfaces, you're even better. So, yeah. Really cool and like the perfect time to come here. It's not too hot. You got like this incredible backdrop. The palm trees. This is a really, really nice area. Okay, guys. That was so much fun. Wow. They were so good. Like, I've been to a lot of places where they're playing cricket but these guys definitely the best and the fact that they were playing on such uneven grounds makes it even better, you know, harder for them but they were really, really good. Bowling so fast. I was speaking to someone and he was saying that at the weekend on Sundays, there's over 5,000 people playing cricket here. So, maybe we have to come back on a Sunday. That would be insane to see that. Now, I'm just gonna go and grab a drink. I'm very, very thirsty after playing some cricket. I didn't play very well. I only had a few balls but it's hard on that uneven ground and also I haven't played in quite a long time. I used to play when I was in high school but since then, I haven't played and that's probably five, no, more than five years ago. Six, seven years ago but I still love it. Okay, now let's get some drinks. Just come on the street next to it adjacent to the pitch, cricket area and there's, of course, there's some market stalls so we can have a look. What's this? Fruit salad? Oh, nice. It's very nice? Yes, yes. Okay. Oh, you're adding salt? Wow. A little bit, a little bit. 20 rupees? Yeah. Okay, let's get one. Okay, just a little bit. I'm not used to having salt. Okay, wow. What fruits have we got? Chiku? Yeah. Good, good, good. Okay, let's try the banana. Oh, this is so refreshing. We're digging through this. This is absolutely delightful but it's got pepper and salt on which I'm just not used to. Orange? Of course. Wow, that tastes so unique with the pepper. I'm still like only very new to having pepper and salt on fruit. It's something that's happened to me in the last three countries I've been in but never before. I'm still getting used to it but it's, it's good. It's just, it's just, it's going to take me a while to get used to it. So, so good guys. But my favourite, pineapple. We got ourselves a little market. We could do a little market run. I will actually, I will, oh, we've got samosas. This is everything I've ever wanted. I'm going to get a coconut, a samosa and then buy some socks because I do need some socks. So, we'll do some bargaining. Can I have a coconut? One coconut? 60 rupee. Okay, that's, sorry, I haven't been explaining how much each is. So, that's like under one dollar. 60. Okay. Nice to meet you. These are from, from India? Indian coconuts. Okay, so he just slices it up. They're always so very like rash with the knife. Like, I mean, he's probably done this a lot of times before but if that was me, I would not be using that knife like that. Wow, very quick, very efficient. This is absolutely huge. Oh my god. Hopefully, it's refreshing. Oh, wow. Sour dust. Very good. Thank you very much, boss. The thing I always forget is how big they are. So, it's going to take me a good 10 minutes to finish this off but I've still got the socks and the samosas to get, inshallah. So, we'll go, we'll go around slowly. It's literally impossible to down it all in one. We're also, we're limited for time here because we got light issues but probably got like 20 minutes left. Oh, here we go. The lights are coming on. Okay, next on the list of things to do is socks. Do you have white socks? White socks. White. You're missing out on some business here if you don't have white socks for me, unfortunately. I could do with black to be fair. Kidney rupee? 100? Two pieces. Two, okay. That's one dollar. That guy was just staring at my camera until I turned it around. I live here? No. England to India. Yeah. No, I've been in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka for a little bit. Yeah, just exploring. Nice to meet you. Okay, bye-bye. Next and finally, we got the samosas. Do you have samosa? Samosa? What's inside? Vegetable, chicken? No, veg. Veg, okay. One of these, one of these. Kidney rupee? 10 rupees. 10, wow. No, thank you. Just, I can take that. Wow, look at that. It's like a huge, is it called a samosa? Samosa, okay. Spicy, thank you very much. Bye-bye. Okay, that was very quick, very efficient. Bye-bye, nice to meet you. Of course, of course. Okay, guys, that was crazy. We got like so many different items and it'll be interesting to know what the total of all four items I got. Well, I got, I got three items actually. It must be three dollars for all those things. So, the last thing we've got to try is this samosa. Looks different to a normal samosa, slightly larger, a different shape, but still very crunchy. We'll go for it. It's going to be messy. Lots of potato in, no, no meat. That's lovely though, really nice. I love the crunchy pastry. Oh my god, could just have it on its own. Let's try another bite. Oh, we're getting a little bit more spice there, but it's not too bad. I'm used to Sri Lankan spice, so it's not too much, not too bad for me, but we're going to finish this off easily. Okay, guys, I've come across a bookstore and they're selling actually loads of very modern books that I actually would really like to read. So, I think I'm going to get one. We've got a few books that I've actually read before, but there's some others that I quite like to read. Which is your most popular book? The most popular book? Which one? All of these are good? Yeah, in India? Like, like one of these, I like. Okay, I'll get one. Kidney Rupee? 100. Wow, that's so cheap. Okay, would you like a book? Are you thinking? No, no, I don't read. You're getting three, you're getting two books? Three? Oh, wow. Oh my god, you guys are bookworms. Which, which books are you getting? Fiction. Oh, nice, nice. I'm not so much of a fiction reader, but I probably should try it because it sounds like it sounds good. I'm wondering if these are fake or not, because back home they would be ten dollars at least. So, I'm going to get maybe this one as well. So, the books I'm getting Ikigai, Secret to a Happy Life, which I've, I've heard about, and then also The Psychology of Money, which I've heard about because, you know, you can never know enough about money and I love to learn about a relationship with money and how to be better with it and not, not be greedy. 200, 200 rupees for two books that could change my life. I can't believe that, like that's absolutely incredible value for money. That's the one thing I would recommend people to read more books, even if you struggle to read them, just force, force yourself and you'll get used to it. So, yeah, going to finish the video there, guys. Thank you very much for watching. If you enjoyed the video, don't forget to like and subscribe.
