In the run up to the World Cup and in the immediate aftermath of the victory, I was chuffed about India’s bench strength. India seemed to be able to win matches despite some of their best players not playing games. They seemed to be a...(more)

Rohit Sharma seems less than impressed with the attentions of the team physio. The fact that the rain meant all that pain was in vain probably didn’t cheer him up any....(more)

Is the Indian domestic cricket strong enough? Are we producing cricketers who are capable of representing the Indian national team? What are the performances seen in the domestic cricket that one can take solace from?A list of the batting p...(more)

Following up on the earlier post, I decided to look up the number of players blooded by India in the last four years who can potentially step up to the test arena (numbers looked up are from 2007 Jan)Shikhar Dhawan is the only other opener ...(more)

There has been a lot of hand wringing about India’s status as the number one test team. India’s poor (euphemism alert) performance in England has generated a great deal of commentary. The general refrain is as follows; Indian pl...(more)

The tour didn’t get ignored as much as I’d thought, actually - quite unlike Raina’s first captaincy stint in the tri-series with Zimbabwe and Bangladesh year. There was plenty of interest in the progress of India’s n...(more)

India embark on yet another Carribbean tour without Sachin Tendulkar. The one day squad has a deep bench. When the regulars were unavailable, it was easy to find credible replacements. It’s to India’s credit that it has blooded ...(more)

It has been four years (plus 6 days, but who’s counting) since Rohit Sharma made his debut. He was, at the time, an obligatory new face that had to be brought in after India’s epic World Cup campaign in ’07. Obviously that...(more)

With the token T20I out of the way and the first ODI about to begin in a couple of hours, I will probably* do an extensive preview of what to expect from the one-day series that is being taken so seriously because it is very challenging and...(more)

There has never been a better time to be an Indian cricketer. Annual contracts, a variety of formats to choose from and a board that’s as capitalist (profit oriented) as they come. We have come a long way from an era where player powe...(more)

This wasn’t a mere IPL game, there was a context to it, and I was awake to it - it struck me when the CSK chase appeared asleep. Suresh Raina seemed much older, even restrained, far more determined than his already exaggerated high st...(more)

India's selectors threw up a squad for the tour to the West Indies today - and there were no surprises. Partly because Srikkanth and Co. have lost the ability to shock us, but mostly because it is, after all, a tour to the West Indies.

The national selectors are in a bind now that they have to make selection for the Indian squad that will travel to the West Indies. Not quite the final frontier, the selectors need to keep in mind that the momentum cannot be let off. India&...(more)

Ambati Rayudu shone once again for Mumbai, this time in partnership with Rohit Sharma, to take his team to a score that was going to be more than enough. Considering the bowling arsenal that Mumbai Indians have, Delhi stumbled to 7-4 before...(more)


Lasith Malinga was in the news the last week for having retired from test cricket. His reasoning was that his knee injury could not withstand the rigors of cricket where he had to bowl 15 overs or more in a day. In this context, the T20 for...(more)

Badrinath’s valiant effort came to naught, thanks to Harbhajan’s heroics - a long time since the Sardar took five wickets in any format. Rohit Sharma had given a good platform for the Mumbai bowlers which proved to be beyond CSK...(more)
