The internet giant has always been popular for its creative and fun-loaded Google Doodle, but this time the artwork has actually transformed itself into a cricket game. Before rushing out to play, here are few things you would like to know.
Instead of redirecting you to a Wikipedia page or an informative piece, Google celebrates ICC Champions Trophy with an interactive virtual cricket on your screens.
