The game we all love, however
It has happened. Unbelievable, yes but it has happened. Indian team have lost a world cup game to Pakistan. I am still rubbing my eyes. Is it really true? Could India have lost a world cup game to Pakistan? The same Pakistan who for over 30 years found it impossible to defeat India in a …
Hardik Pandya is in serious trouble. He looks like a player who is more content on playing in the IPL rather than playing for India. He no doubt is preciously talented. If only he could focus on his game, he really has the game to achieve wonders. Unfortunately, ever since the England limited overs series, …
One more year, one more world cup. This time it is T20 world cup with one more scheduled next year in Australia. These so-called world cups seem to come thick and fast. The tournament was scheduled to be held in India but the Covid situation in the country at the time the decision was taken …
As expected, Chennai Super Kings have won the title. I had written in one of the previous blog that CSK will scrape through but they won rather convincingly. This was their 4th title overall. Just one behind Mumbai. CSK really could have added a few more because they were part of 9 finals. It was …
This week I have quite a few things to report. India perhaps have unearthed a fast bowler in Umraan Malik. David Warner was not treated well by his franchise. James Anderson training his sights on the biggest scalp in the Australian team. How was the cricketing world last week? Let me start with Anderson training …
So, after close to 6 months, IPL 2021 will be completed tomorrow at The UAE. Forced to move out of India after the Covid surge in May, IPL shifted to UAE and the BCCI managed to complete the remaining set of games without much problem. Two teams, though not both of them deserve to be …
So, one more IPL year, one more failure. The Royal Challengers Bangalore despite 14 years of playing in the IPL is yet to win a tournament. Leave alone the tournament, they have qualified the finals only twice. This despite the fact that Kohli, De Villiers have played for most of the time. In 2021, RCB …
I just want to continue with this series in providing news from around the cricketing world 2. I want to concentrate on the important news and pass a little bit of judgement. England players are close to agreeing to tour Australia for the Ashes. However, travel within Australia is confusing. Dhoni may finally retire from …
Ashwin was involved in one other controversy. Virat Kohli has resigned T20 captaincy. Indian selectors will shortly be involved in choosing a captain for that format alone. Ravi Shastri’s tenure is likely to come to an end. IPL is throwing up some serious talent. This post is about news from around the Indian cricket world. …
Mumbai Indians, the champion team with all the international stars. Many of them are capable of winning games on their own. The power and destructive capabilities of that team, no one in the IPL has that. They can easily chase a score in excess of 200 or can easily set a similar target for the …
