It may bring tears to your eyes about India (cricket side) (5)
I believe the answer is:
onion
'it may bring tears to your eyes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'about india cricket side' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic).
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'cricket side' becomes 'on' (cricket term, on or leg side).
'on'+'i'+'on'='ONION'
(Other definitions for onion that I've seen before include "Bulb used as a vegetable" , "Head (slang); vegetable" , "Hot dog topping" , "Bulb used in cooking" , "One may be set" .)
