Playing cricket in residential areas is not explicitly illegal in India, but it can become a legal issue if it causes nuisance, property damage, or disturbs the peace. Housing societies often have their own bye-laws that may regulate or restrict such activities, particularly in common areas. Residents concerned about noise, broken windows, or other disturbances can first try to resolve the issue amicably. If that fails, they may raise the matter with the building association, Residents Welfare Association (RWA), or even file a police complaint under nuisance or disturbance provisions. Persistent problems may also lead to civil action if the behavior significantly affects the quality of life for other residents.

Dear Citizen, You are a victim of private nuisance in the present case. It is advisable that you file an application under S.133 of Code of Criminal Procedure before the Sub Divisional Magistrate of your locality and obtain prohibitory orders. You might have to engage an advocate for this application. In case the nuisance continues you can file an FIR before the concerned police station for house trespass and mischief under Indian Penal Code. Though it is not necessary but you should be able to identify atleast one accused and his residence for expeditious results. Regards,

Explain them with love that at the time you are playing, it is about resting in sleep / resting, whose people have trouble and also suffer financial loss. If they do not accept it, then complain in the police station. Apart from this, you can file a lawsuit for compensation.
