Gilli-Danda is a team game, known by several different names. The game competed between two teams normally of nine players each. Gilli-Danda has many similarities with cricket, rounders and baseball.

Popularity
Gilli-Danda is an amateur sport played in the rural areas and small towns in India, Pakistan, Cambodia and Italy.

Description
Gilli-Danda is played with two pieces of equipment - a danda (a long wooden stick) and a gilli ( a small oval-shaped piece of wood).
Standing in a small circle, the player balances the gilli on a stone in an inclined manner with one end of the gilli touching the ground while the other end is in the air (see-saw). 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.

Dedication
Having struck the gilli, the player is required to run and touch a pre-agreed point outside the circle. If a fielder catches the gilli, the striker is out.
If the gilli lands on the ground, the fielder closest to the gilli has one chance to hit the danda (which has to be placed on top of the circle used) with a throw (similar to a run out in cricket). If the fielder is successful, the striker is out; if not, the striker scores one point and gets another opportunity to strike.
