Horses for courses? When will India Learn?

New Zealand just whitewashed Indian in India, something no other team ever did it in the history for test cricket. They obviously played a really good cricket and outplayed India in every department at every phase of the series. But importantly, it is India who played their worst cricket, not just from the skills but even from the mindset perspective. New Zealand applied their “horses for…

Saat Phere Aapke Liye, Aathwan Phera Cricket ke Liye

The Preset – A Passionate Cricketer My young friend, Siddharth, got married last month. A lawyer by profession, Siddharth is a fine cricketer.

Beaten by A Girl - A Cricket Story

Some people believe cricket is a game only men play. This is the story of one of them. The one who was beaten by a girl. I am a weekend cricketer, playing in the corporate league. Like me, Sam is in his late 40’s. We are past our prime playing days. We play purely for our passion. Sometimes, passion breeds arrogance. Sad to say, Sam is one such player. Unfortunately, he has a (mis)conception that…

The Kotla Crash: Need of the Whole, Display of the Parts

"The problems began after the departure of Marnus Labucshagne. What followed was pandemonium, if I were to describe it kindly" In our latest blog #IshanBhattacharya shares his views of Australian collapse in Delhi test. Do give it a Read:

A “Hole” is what Australia dug themselves on the third morning in the Delhi. In what can only be described as a suicide mission, we saw the Aussies hand over the test match on a platter to the hosts. It was nothing less than a Kotla crash. The Australian collapse reminded me of the infamous Adelaide test match, where India was ahead of the entire game, barring that one dreaded session. In this…

Marnus Labuschagne - The India Test

The 2019 Ashes was one of the best Ashes ever played. If I take you back to the Ashes 2019, The events which strike our minds are Ben Stokes’ heroics and Smith’s terrific form. Not to forget that Australia retained an away Ashes too. Along with those, another event of significance was the arrival of Marnus Labuschagne. In the 2nd test of the series, arguably the world’s best test batsman got…

WPL: The New Era of Indian Women’s Cricket

July 23, 2017, England vs India, ICC WODI World Cup final. India chasing a target of 229, loses the final by just 9 runs. A heartbreak followed.

The Exhibition of T20 Leagues

“James Vince overshadows Uthappa as the Giants beat the Capitals by 6 wickets”. Something doesn’t click in there, does it? Don’t worry, we have all been there at some point.

Coming back to the headline, it is from a news article post an ILT20…
