Cricket sides drawing in India — it could bring tears to your eyes! (5)
I believe the answer is:
onion
'eyes' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for onion that I've seen before include "One may be set" , "Tear-jerking bulb" , "Tear-inducing edible bulb" , "reason for tears" , "Pungent edible bulb of the lily family" .)
