As the very name suggests, this is a completely cricket-themed café. As soon as you walk in through the door, you will step onto a green cricket ground like carpet and see Ishant Sharma bowling. And for a second, you may feel like you’ve just entered the Eden Gardens for a live game.

This is the cafe to be in whenever there’s action on the 22 yards. Although it is not very spacious, it is not cramped either, and gives you the right match day feel with eight TV screens and a giant projector.

They serve a variety of cuisines — from Indian to Italian, Chinese to Lebanese. And on a match day, you can avail some exciting discounts as well. The perfect time to visit this café is during the upcoming IPL when the home team KKR takes the field.
