The game we all love, however
Oh, come on! Maxwell has been the most overrated batsman in the history of IPL. Everyone and every franchise that he has ever played seems to be impressed by his occasional brutal innings and is willing to go to any extent to purchase him. The fact of the matter is that Maxwell, atleast in the …
5 games lost in 6 and fighting for the last spot in the table, RCB have more or less become the first team to be eliminated from the 2024 IPL. They still have an outside chance of qualifying for the playoff but it is only that. An outside chance. Far too many things will have …
I understand that the title Lyon about CA and BCCI must be slightly misleading because one will feel that Nathan Lyon, the brilliant Australian spinner, has said something about both Cricket Australia and the Board of Control for Cricket in India. The first part is correct. He has criticised Cricket Australia. I have included BCCI …
The 8th game of the IPL at Hyderabad between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad became the see ball hit ball game. Sunrisers ended up by eclipsing the record of RCB by posting the highest total in the history of IPL. Mumbai threatened to overtake that score but fell short by 31 runs. When you consider …
One more edition of the IPL will be underway in Chennai on the night of 22nd March 2024.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore will be under all sorts of pressure this season because of the success of their counterparts in the just concluded WPL. It has been 16 years since the inception of the IPL but RCB have never won the title even once though they reached the final on three occasions. This is …
I am here again, to laud BCCI for a wonderful initiative. After the diktat of representing their respective state teams to those players who are not part of the Indian team but are in their state teams, the board has come up with one more laudable decision. Awarding players who prefer Test cricket and thereby …
Before proceeding to read this blog, please read part one of the England series against India. In this blog, I will dissect the opinion of England’s former cricketers, some of whom were really savage on their team. It was an incredible performance on the part of the Indians who missed several key personnel in the …
The English were overwhelming in their opinion about the series in India. They will lose and some even said heavily. In the end, it did come true. England lost the series heavily. 1-4 defeat, with the sole victory on the back of an unbelievable Ollie Pope innings, that they must have lost as well. The …
