On Sunday afternoon, about 15 international students from India played cricket on DUC South Lawn. The South Lawn was full of students who played games, relaxed on blankets with friends, played instruments and read books.

All the students were outside to take advantage of the nice weather, which reached 74 degrees in Bowling Green. Graduate students formed two teams, and then balls were thrown and bats were swung under Guthrie Bell Tower.

“Cricket first was a tradition in England, then became a tradition in my country, and now it’s a tradition with my friends and I,” Avinash Rachamalla said. Rachamalla, of Hyderabad, India is seeking his master’s degree in computer science.

“This is something we all get together to do, and really enjoy,” Rachamalla said. Cricket, which has been around since the 18th century, seemed to spark the interest of many students and attracted several spectators.
