The whole nation is going ga-ga over the World Cup and suddenly everyone seems to have become quite cricket-savvy! So we put on our quizzing cap and throw a volley of basic cricket terms to some of Tellywood's beauties. While almost all tripped at some point, there definitely was one clear winner! Nevertheless, bottom line is - All are cricket enthusiasts and seriously hope that India wins.
