Pooja Knockout Cricket Tournament Celebrates 75th Anniversary

Imagine a cricket tournament that's been around longer than most people!

The Pooja Knockout, the world's first one-day cricket competition, is celebrating 75 years.

This year, it's trying something new: playing matches at night with bright lights and using a pink ball.

It's taking place in Kerala.

This tournament is a big deal because it helped make cricket popular in the area and helped players get better.

Famous cricketers like Sachin Baby have played in it.

Now, they are adding floodlights to attract more people and players.

The tournament is in two phases: the first with local teams and the second with teams from other states.
