A smiling Rohit knew he had nothing to lose. His team was
about to accomplish what deemed impossible. Umpires were surrounded by
Rajasthan Royals players who seemed unaware of equation which itself was surprising considering their coach is the very intelligent Rahul Dravid.
However Dravid and co was not alone- there seemed to be a cloud all over with
Ravi Shastri wondering aloud if a wide can save Royals. Finally when the Royals
were...
Chinnaswamy Zindabaad!
Thursday, 15 May 2014
From drizzling to sixer show to bowling scare, it was all
the typical Bangalore at show on 13/05/2013 when RCB were matched up against
the ‘always terrible’ Delhi Daredevils. The buzz around the Chinnasamy was
unbelievable at around 3 pm itself that you would be forgiven for thinking it’s
an evening game.
The innumerable...
Dear fellow RCB devotees...

With the first leg of T20 overkill done and dusted in Bangladesh, the second one, Internationally acclaimed domestic T20 cricket aka the IPL is all set to begin in UAE. So here comes the multizillion dollar question,
"What should one expect from the Royal Challengers of Bangalore this time around?"
A few frowns, a few sighs & more...
Memories & Moments - T20 WC 2014 (Twitter round-up)
Sunday, 13 April 2014
What a tournament it was for Team India. Like a friend said, we came from "We won't get to the semifinals" to "HOW DID WE MESS THAT UP? HOW?" Speaks volumes, doesn't it? Before everyone gets into IPL mode, here are what fellow Twitter people had to share about the tournament. Enjoy!

I would have ideally loved to have written this happily from the winner’s corner rather than with a team...
Madcap Recap Part II
Monday, 7 April 2014
Continued from Madcap Recap, the World Cup diares, Part I,
March 24, 2014.
Another great performance and I think my prediction has gone terrible. Yet again. The last thing I predicted was Virat Kohli will fail in South Africa. The last time Dhoni lost a toss, the match was abandoned.
That was the luck of Ms Dhoni and tosses. With the bowling attack built around
spin, he can’t afford to lose the toss he has been successful so...
Madcap Recap Part I
Monday, 7 April 2014
A first phase of T20 overkill before the Tamasha cricket is done and dusted. Probably the only tournament which has a qualifying round one for the minnows even after respective teams qualifying for the tournament. The joke that is, is over now. This had everything from- TRP fixture aka the India v Pakistan to the mandatory India v Sri Lanka to South Africa reduced to a joke in multinational tourneys to England crumbling...
What you need about CSK, RR and IPL scandal
Friday, 28 March 2014
Observing a lot of opinions on
IPL corruption scandal and remarks of Supreme Court, I have come up with a
short post. More like a compilation of various facts.
First of all the perception
regarding the hate for CSK. There is no such conspiracy to keep CSK or RR out of IPL. 'Hate' is probably a big word to use considering
the team involves a lot of Indian players. The call for kicking CSK out of IPL
is based...
Nawab 2.0
Thursday, 20 February 2014
He is the prince. He has arrived. He is your next king. He
is Virat Kohli.
Seeing him bat with discipline and responsibility, Allan
Donald is reminded of Sachin Tendulkar. The devastating style of batting along
with overflowing passion reminded Sir Vivian Richards, arguably the most
dangerous batsman ever, of himself. With
the...
