Google doodle marks World T20 beginning

The Google doodle specially designed for the World T20

Internet giant Google has cashed in on the World Twenty 20 fever with a new colourful doodle on its home page which shows a cricket game in progress at a stadium.

Google's doodles are intended to celebrate holidays, events, achievements and people. The current doodle was unveiled on Monday ahead of the event which starts on 8 March.

The event will be played across 7 venues in India with 16 teams participating in it and the final will be held at the historic Eden Gardens here on 3 April.

The doodle shows players in blue, red and the umpires in white which resemble 'pawns' in chess. The image - a side view of the stadium also shows spectators cheering their team - has a huge Google logo at the top. A click on the logo will direct a user to the schedule of the event.

In the tournament opener - starting with the opening match of the qualifiers - Zimbabwe will take on Hong Kong and, later on, Tuesday Scotland will lock horns with Afghanistan in Nagpur.
