In India, cricket fans are not just fans, they are fanatics. They consider cricket a religion which makes them devotees. And it is the duty of every devotee to make a pilgrimage. And cricket abounds in religious spots. There are places around the world where history has been made, legends have entered folklore and records have been shattered. From stadiums to museums to training maidans, the cricket world has plenty of pilgrimage spots.
