It has been heartwarming to see the rise and rise of Gautam Gambhir. Along with M S Dhoni, he is the one Indian batsman who is secure in the knowledge of his place in the Indian team in all the three formats. On current form, I am sure even Mr. Modi cannot hoodwink him of his place in the side by introducing a fourth (

Have a look at India’s decade wise Test match performances, and we can easily understand that India’s win rate is increasing every 10 year years. More importantly, the more tests we play, the more we win. This chart also probably highlights how Indian team selection over the last few years has improved. The

Virender Sehwag, the mercurial Indian batsman, stands on the verge of history today after playing the most brutal innings in Test history, on day two of the final Test with Sri Lanka.
Sehwag hammered 284 from just 239 balls and will become the first man to complete three Test triple-tons if he can find another 16 runs

Test cricket does something inexplicable to Virender Sehwag. There’s no visible sign, but it all comes beautifully together with deadly affect.
Even after a decade of international cricket, he has remarkably managed to retain his free-spirit and what he seems to add to his repertoire while playing Test is discretion.

Club cricket takes a new turn this week with the inaugural Twenty20 Champions League. Here’s a brief run-down of the sides involved:
The Cape Cobras, although without the injured Graeme Smith, will still have plenty of firepower with JP Duminy and Herschelle Gibbs the main threats. The lack of access to the larg

So I conveniently disappeared after wishing New Zealand into the finals of the Champions Trophy.
I know the Australians looked strapping in their uber-cool white jackets, and I know I couldn’t bother to give credit to them for defending their title. Sorry guys, if you hadn’t won so much in the first place,

Sehwag, Dilshan, Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Lendl Simmons, Dirk
I rest my case.
Add to that the T&T spin trio and Amit Mishra, Darren Ganga, Gambhir, Owais Shah and Darren Bravo, and two good hitters in the Dinesh and Denesh. See, even the keepers are almost identical, in name and style.
I don’t know about everyo

Virender Sehwag in a very vulnerable position, Yuvraj trying to get sympathy….You don’t usually see this. You are not used to seeing these icons in this position. They are like the invincibles. Would they have the same fears that we have in our minds? Do they have the same insecurities a out their future? D

India are hosting Australia for a seven-match ODI series, which normally would have been hyped for weeks (if not months) in advance, but the Ashes (and its attendent ODIs) blurred into the Champions Trophy which blurred into the Twenty20 Champions League which only finished yesterday, so it’s almost as if the ser

The Indian bowling at the start was a bit lacklustre. Praveen Kumar has had a bad day in office. He is a swing bowler with not much of pace and he will find it difficult in these conditions where the ball doesn’t swing much and one will require a bit of pace to be successful on flat wickets. Praveen doesn’t have th

That’s right. I hate cricket. I hate cricket because I never know who to support. You see, for us media people it’s never easy.
Do I support India and hope they quickly trot up to 3-1 in the series? But what about my friends in Neo? As it is they were griping about the slow pace of the third ODI. I was watching the

It may sound like a very obvious reaction of disappointment at the performance of the Indian cricket team versus Australia today. But then it’s not. It’s more to do with the attitude of a cricketer in the Indian cricket team. No prizes for guessing. It’s Virender Sehwag!!
I cannot think of any cricket

Tendulkar crosses 17000-run mark in ODIs
Tendulkar’s wait to reach the 17,000-run mark in One-dayers continued in Mohali as he missed the milestone by just seven runs after getting dismissed for 40 on a dubious decision in the fourth ODI against Australia.
The 36-year-old scored the requisite seven runs to put a
