WHY ROHIT SHARMA IS CRUCIAL FOR INDIAN CRICKET TEAM

 June 17, 2017   Swapnil Pandey

, , ,

Rohit Sharma is a mystery. He can abandon you wonderstruck with his gifted shots and confused about his express indiscretion. His irregularity may have brought on a ton of open deliberation, yet his ability has never been addressed. Rohit is extremely talented. It is a pleasure to watch him stroke the ball to the limit […]

 January 16, 2016   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

In a strange and coincidental quirk of fate, India lost another ODI after posting 300-plus, which again included a fine century by Rohit Sharma. Gabba’s second ODI was pretty much like the one at WACA, where Rohit’s good work proved to be of no avail. Other similarities were; India winning the toss, choosing to bat […]

 January 13, 2016   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

After making 309/3 on a batting-friendly WACA pitch at Perth, India lost to the Aussies by 5 wickets in the first of the five ODIs scheduled for their ongoing tour down under.

Mumbai Win Another Match to Stay Alive in 2015 IPL

 May 15, 2015   R K Gupta

Mumbai might have won against KKR in a thrilling contest at the Wankhede Stadium but their batting weakness in the first 12 overs was a repeat script of their several earlier innings. When Rohit Sharma was foxed by a straight ball from Sunil Narine, Mumbai were pathetically placed at 79/4 and that did not inspire […]

When Sunny Gavsakar made the pitch inspection on first day morning at SCG, he predicted that the wicket was full of runs.
