The game we all love, however
The Indian cricket board is the only board that is determined to destroy Indian cricket. What else can be said? A very important series against an inform Australia side is scheduled to begin in the month of February. What does the board go onto do? India weren’t scheduled to play any series in the month …
Towards the end of the year, I saw multiple cricket related websites who have reviewed the year for each country. Some of them indetail and some of them on a high level. That is when I thought that I must also review the gains and losses for every team. I will start with Indian performance …
The Indian team for the short limited overs series against Sri Lanka has been announced. Though I feel that this is an unwanted and completely pointless series, it will offer some players opportunities to stake their claim. The Indian selectors have made their intentions clear. In the shortest format atleast. Hardik Pandya will lead the …
India lost the ODI series quite convincingly but really had to struggle to win the test series. At one stage, it looked like the test series will be drawn with both the teams winning one game apiece. If not for Ashwin and Shreyas Iyer’s composure, it could have been true. This blog is about the …

Yet, Shubnam Gill continues to disappoint. He has been given chances, though, sporadically. Chances that others would love to get. …
Yash Dhull is 20 years old. In recent years, he was the captain of the Indian team that won the U-19 World Cup in 2022. He also made centuries on debut in both Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy. Clearly, he is someone who has a bright future. Perhaps, one day, he could become the Indian …

He says that only the countries that has got the infrastructure or that can build the infrastructure for Test cricket must be allowed …
Shastri’s tenure as the coach of the Indian team was a eventful one. Perhaps, after John Wright, it was Shastri who has had a successful term.
