The game we all love, however
The Asia Cup win, what does it mean for India? For starters, it was a title win after a gap of 5 years. That will give the team encouragement just before the start of the ODI World Cup. By now, the Indian squad would have forgotten what it is like to taste success in a …
The Indian cricket team for the World Cup has been announced. There was not really any surprise but some eyebrows were raised because of a couple of selections. Is it a balanced squad? There are more bowlers who can bat in Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel. Is it a team that can win the World …
The India vs Nepal game at the Asia Cup was done and dusted. India was expected to win which they duly did though the nature of the win wasn’t conclusive enough. Against Pakistan, the same Nepal side was bowled out for just above 100 whereas against India, they were allowed to exceed well past 200. …

There has been quite an uproar over the non-selection of Sarfaraz Khan from the Indian team to West Indies. Former players too have stepped into the bandwagon and have absolutely thrashed the selectors.
