Decoding Prithvi Shaw
India has done a splendid job in introducing new talent into the cricket world. We see uncapped players emerging from each edition of the Indian Premier League and young heroes getting spotlight from the U19 World Cups and Domestic games. The abundant talent has led India to select two different sides that will tour England and Sri Lanka separately. Although the decision could have been driven by…

An Inevitable Trade-Off
Australia has been a leading force in cricket over the past 3 decades. At home, they are close to unstoppable. A typical test series during the Australian summer begins during December with Australia dominating its opponent at the Gabba, winning the series at the Boxing day match at MCG, and completing the formalities at the dead rubber in Sydney. West Indies from the 80s and South Africa from…

A New Path to Glory
A New Path to Glory
Too often we hear the statement that change is the only constant. This aptly fits for cricket which has evolved drastically over the years. The ODI format was discovered when a test match in 1971 was washed out due to rain. Officials decided to play a one-off game with limited over restrictions to please the audience and hence the first One Day International was played. We have seen the launch of…

Is Power Hitting the only acceptable norm in T20?
What’s the first thing that strikes your mind when you hear “T20 cricket”? Humongous Sixes? Super Overs? Franchise tournaments? Lavish auctions? Or maybe the Cheerleaders? People can literally associate various things when they hear about this format. It’s a kind of cricket that was introduced as an entertainment and to expand the game. While traditional test matches and ODI tournaments meant…

A Run-feast in Rajkot

A total of 159 ODI games have been played between the 2 sides, which is the highest number of head to head ODIs between any 2 teams till date. Some of the memorable ones…

A Period of Transition
A Period of Transition
If you had invested in stock market, you would have realized that the graph never follows a linear path. There are times when it moves up creating a bullish trend and the occasional troughs that triggers a panic among investors. Also, there are lucrative talks about how investments made during the 1990s would have made you a millionaire. However, there are stocks that people held on for a long…

Adapting to red ball challenge
Adapting to red ball challenge
Remember the old Australian team? The team that everyone loved to hate and felt jealous about? They had a very threatening test line up. Openers Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer made life difficult for the new bowlers. In came Punter at number 3, who would neutralize the joy of an early wicket through his intimidating pull shots. If you manage to get the top 2 batsmen out, you have to deal with…

The Most Awaited Asian Derby
The Most Awaited Asian Derby
The subcontinent rivalry is all set to kick off in UAE as the teams will battle against each other to get hold of the Asia cup 2018. It’s a unique festival for the cricket fans since it is a separate tournament with more than two teams. Gone are those days when teams used to play tri-series and Quadrangular tournaments. Tournaments were more common during the 80s and 90s which attracted a larger…

Clearing Up the Tail
The scorecard was 12 for 3 when AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis came out to bat during the first test against India in Newlands earlier this year. A solid partnership from the experienced pair at the middle helped South Africa to control the early damage caused by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who completely decimated the Proteas’ top order. When both the batsmen were dismissed later on, India was still…

A slow and steady rise for the Windies.
A slow and steady rise for the Windies.
Almost all the cricket teams are packed with a tight schedule but I would like to highlight West Indies, whose performance has been promising. They completely dominated the Sri Lankans during the first two test matches, before losing the third test. Now they are giving a tough time to Bangladesh, who are yet to remove their ‘minnows’ tag. While I do agree that both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are…

Moneyball in Cricket
The 11th edition of the Indian Premier League is all set to begin in a couple of months and the time has come for cricketing franchises to target some key players. They are left with a lot of numbers to crunch and a plethora of players to watch out for. While they keep selecting the in-form players, teams must also make sure that they are not left with a hole in their wallet. There has been a…

Blind Love for Cricket
Why Indian players are struggling to win during overseas tours? Why Ishant in place of Bhuvi? Why no Rahane in the playing XI? As we keep questioning the Indian team for the loss in the test series against South Africa, let’s take a moment to appreciate the Indian team who defeated Pakistan in the 5th edition of blind cricket world cup. India entered this world cup as defending champions…

The Power of Superstition in Cricket
Quite often we hear this phrase-“To achieve success, one needs to have 50% pain, 5% pleasure, 15% concentration, 20% skill and 10% of luck.” In this fast paced and competitive world, the statement holds true, especially the factor of luck. To get hold of this factor, people need to be confident and to achieve this they rely on superstitions. It doesn’t really matter if they provide the desired…
