India’s bowling coach Bharat Arun wants Indian speedsters to enhance their pace. In Arun’s opinion, this is a sure way of catching the Sri Lankan batsmen off guard. India have failed to win an overseas test series in the last 4 years and they would be looking to reverse that on this tour to the […]

The Indian sub-continent is in the grip of monsoon and cricket matches suffer on account of rains playing spoilsport. As the Indian contingent under Virat Kohli arrived in Colombo for the three-test series, they were greeted by heavy showers and their training session at the Premadasa Stadium began with light drizzle that developed into full-scale […]

India Lose Second T-20 Game Against Zimbabwe From a Position of Strength

 July 20, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , ,

To be chasing 146 for victory in a T20 game should normally be regarded as easy. Zimbabwe batted first and one man dominated their batting and India’s bowlers. Chamu Chibhabha’s nonchalance was the single biggest factor as he kept one end going while his colleagues fell at the other. The mercurial opener went on until […]

Indian Premier League Seen Swimming in Muck-Waters After Lodha Panel Report

 July 15, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

The vastly popular Indian Premier League has been castigated. Behind-the-scene betting and match-fixing scandals have tarnished the image of cricket in general and IPL in particular. Betting and gambling in India is a punishable offence even if government-run lotteries are legal. This looks like a dichotomy. Because, encouraging people to buy lottery tickets is very […]

After Fluctuating Fortunes in Third ODI India Complete 3-0 Zimbabwe Whitewash at Harare

 July 15, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , ,

Batting and bowling inconsistencies on either side made the last match of the ODI series between India and Zimbabwe an intriguing affair. First the Indian top order collapsed and by the 22nd over, the scoreboard read 82/4. Two new batsmen, whose choices were dictated by their IPL performance, enacted a rescue act with a fifth-wicket […]

Indian Women Cricketers Lose T-20 Series to New Zealand at Bangalore on Monday

If it was Sophie Devine in the first T20, another New Zealander Rachel Priest came to forefront in the second T20. Priest’s 34-ball 60 did the trick in sealing the series win for the visiting side as India couldn’t put up a winning total. Barring the 4th and 5th ODI games, India’s batting had been […]

The script in second ODI between India and Zimbabwe at Harare was nearly similar to the one in the first ODI. Elton Chigumbura won the toss and just as he had done in the first ODI, two days ago, asked India to bat first. India didn’t do anything spectacular but the 112-run first wicket stand […]
