The game we all love, however
As was suspected, the Indian selectors do not have any plans for the future. It is clear from the team that was selected for the West Indies tour. One cannot find such a hapless board despite boasting of rich resources. First, it was the recall of Pujara at Edgbaston in 2021 which resulted in utter …
Indian cricket is at the crossroad. Far too many aged cricketers whom the Australians would love to call Dad’s Army and very few youngsters who will go onto have a productive career. Some of the seniors are clinging on just because of their past exploits. With the WTC cycle between 2021 – 2023 complete, it …
Just to think that India has lost one more final and thereby one more attempt at an ICC trophy has gone abegging makes every Indian supporter quite sad. Over the last several years, we have come to expect our team to stumble either at the last hurdle or the one before that. With every passing …
The World Test Championship lost and lost quite convincingly. Why would India even qualify for such games only to crush the hearts of millions of supporters? The post game comments of both the coach and the captain make people even more angry because of the stupidity of it. Rohit Sharma wants a best of 3 …
I would like to pour all my frustrations about the India vs Australia WTC final in the blog. Indian supporters do not fret. This was something that was expected of this Indian team. Let us make no mistake. Australia started as the overwhelming favourites. They are a team that is used to playing in England. …
2 seasons and 2 commendable performances to have reached the playoffs stage. The performance was indeed commendable but Lucknow would have liked to do one better this time around with a place in the finals. However, it wasn’t to be. They were knocked out in the eliminator by Mumbai Indians. It wasn’t just a knockout …
One more season done and one more disappointment. Alongwith RCB & Punjab, Delhi is the only side not to have won even a single IPL trophy in 16 attempts. Even in a short span, Deccan Chargers and Gujarat Titans managed to win one apiece but not Delhi. This despite the fact that they are having …
16 attempts and 0 titles. This is RCB’s record in IPL. This despite having amongst their ranks arguably one of the best batsmen during his era. To begin with, RCB did not have much hope this year. Rajat Patidar, their standout batsman in 2022 was rendered ineffective through injury. Josh Hazlewood was unavailable for more …
By far the most consistent side in the history of IPL, Chennai Super Kings won their 5th title in 2023. 10 final appearances in 14 years, is a consistency that is seldom seen in the realm of sports. Remember, they were banned for a couple of years due to misappropriation. As a yardstick to judge …
The second edition of the World Test Championship will be upon us in about 3 months from now. India and Australia will compete for the title. For Australia, who has won everything under the sun, this is the only ICC Trophy that hasn’t adorned their glittering cabinet. As for India, it has been more than …
