“The God, his brother Laxman, other demigods rest in the temple of success. Once the door closes, they are all behind The WALL!,” read a placard during India’s tour of England last year.

Legends are never born; they are made through toils of hard work, sweat in practice sessions day in and day out. Rahul Dravid truly is one. Even as the talk of him ready to call it quits from Test cricket grow louder, it is learnt that the former Indian captain could hang his boots from [...]

Most of the Indian fans will be finding themselves in a familiar territory. Yet another overseas series involving the Indian cricket team, and yet again, the men who took the field have failed to deliver. As the India-Australia Test series reaches the WACA (Western Australia Cricket Association) in Perth, the threat of the scoreline going [...]

Grumble, crumble, rumble and stumble—read one of the placards at the massive Melbourne Cricket Ground that aptly signified India’s abject surrender in the first Test against Australia on Thursday. Not for nothing are we termed as poor travellers and for the fourth time in succession, India lost their first Test in an overseas series. Worryingly [...]

He first started with a mere brick and as he grew in size, stature and experience, Rahul Dravid, over the years weaved not just magic with the willow, but also gave the purists and his fans the joy of watching batting in its purest form. In his decade-and-half innings with international cricket, not for [...]

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! When the big bosses picked the Indian squad for the [...]

Just for a fleeting moment, forget the latest ICC Test/ODI/T20 rankings. When was the last time we saw a side that steam-rolled an opposition to submission for a period of atleast a few years in succession? When was the last time you saw a team that looked like a champion outfit? Well, it would invariably [...]
