FAQs 1) What are some Bumble’s mini-dictionary of cricket-dating terms that you can apply in your dating journey ? Ans) Helicopter shot noun Just like a popularly known full-swing shot, the ‘helicopter shot’ in the game of love, is the big move you make when you realise they are the one for you! Eg: “I’m hoping to pull off the helicopter shot and get my girlfriend to say YES!” All-rounder noun An ‘all-rounder’ is someone who meets your expectations and desires leading to a meaningful, long-term connection. Eg: “If you’re looking for someone who ticks all your boxes, you know they are an all-rounder!” Clean bowled noun Like a straight shot by the bowler that hits the wicket leaving the batsman stumped, this could translate to you being ‘clean bowled’ as you realise you have fallen in love. Eg: “I have no words. I’m clean-bowled in love!” No ball / wide ball noun As the batting side is given one free run and an extra delivery to bat for a ‘no ball’, see this as a nudge for a second chance to explore love and find what you’re looking for. Eg: “Consider it as a no ball and get back on strike again! Love doesn’t come easy but there’s someone out there for you – you’ve got to give it another chance.” Innings noun Every cricket match has two innings when batsmen and bowlers reverse roles. When it comes to dating, why be stuck in outdated gendered roles and expectations in your relationship, instead set yourself up for a successful inning as you and your partner share equal responsibilities at home and in life. Eg: “This inning is mine, you can take over the kitchen for today.” Target noun Create your own target, one that works for you. Instead of hitting sixes and fours during PowerPlay, you can also make magic happen in the last overs! Date at your own pace and set your own timelines, instead of rushing into things and giving into societal constructs or pressures. Eg: “It may have taken time, but I believe it was setting a clear target for myself that got me my near-perfect partner!” Hitting a boundary noun In cricket, hitting a boundary – a four or six – is much sought after. However, in your dating journey, avoid the rush. Setting clear boundaries for yourself for your potential connections is crucial for a healthy and equitable relationship. Eg: “They will have to know my boundary if we are to explore this relationship further.” Coach noun Every team and player relies on the invaluable support and guidance of their coach through the game. In the same way, your dating allies, who might be your friends or family, play a major role in supporting you through your dating journey. Eg: “I always have a word with my coach to help me decide if I’m making the right decision.” 2) Are Cricket Dates Popular in India ?
