If he was a surgeon, then each of his operation would have been a success. I am talking about none other than Virat Kohli who bisected, cut and shred the Sri Lankan attack to land India an unlikely victory at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Tuesday. It required an uninhibited, at times care-free approach [...]

Wham, wham, wham, wham…….no am not describing any Phantom or a Batman movie, but Australia’s opening Bat Man David Warner. On a day when India’s old bats struggled, bided time, left deliveries outside the corridor of uncertainty, and shamelessly perished, Warner gave a lesson on authoritative batsmanship. His innings of 104 came in just 80 [...]

As Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men made their way into the international terminal exit at the Canberra International airport, they would have surely felt at home. Why? While there would be a considerable amount of Indians cheering them on from the stands as they play their first tour game at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, the [...]

Boldness has never been a virtue associated with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The time selectors have often been accused of choosing players from ‘their own region’ and have faced the ire of the paying public and pundits. Not anymore!

It was a touted as revenge series and the scoreline did read 5-0, as India crucified a hapless and definitely hopeless England in the final ODI on the eve of Diwali at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday. Revenge is a dish that necessarily needs to be served cold, and M.S. Dhoni’s men did just that [...]

“It ain’t over till its over” says one of Hollywood’s most-loved actors—-Slyvester Stallone in the evergreen Rocky movie. Well, the reactions that I witnessed as the last Indian wicket fell at Lord’s were that of a mix of anger, outrage and amusement. It did not take long for the British media (some Indian ones too!)

When this all-conquering Indian team won the Test series 1-0 after the third and final Test in Dominica on Sunday night, I was more sad than happy. Agreed, a Test series in West Indies was won but, not how it was supposed to have. A top-ranked Test team like ours was expected to win and [...]
