The "Dhoni Magic" for the First Time - T-20 World Champions 2007

No one would have thought that this would happen....as the new "young team" under Dhoni went to South Africa and conquered the billion hearts....

GOD OF CRICKET

I think there is no batting records that this man doesn't hold.The best cricketer world has ever witnessed-The LITTLE MASTER

Once again "Dhoni and his Devils" proved that they are the best.

Master with the World Cup

There is no other gift better than this that Sachin can get in his 21 years of cricket career.

The Real DADAGIRI

You can't forget this person.It was all from him the Indian Cricket team get their new look.But like the Legends this man was also crucified.But we still love you, DADA....

INDIA FIGHTING BACK....


No one would have thought like this।When India was all out for 205 runs everyone would have remembered the last test match।Even I thought that in this game also India have lost the control।But the Indian team was not ready to surrender themselves।An inspiring come back of Zaheer Khan from injury gave wings to the Indian bowlers।It was Zaheer who started off the fight by making Smith to reach to Dhoni's gloves।That was fro the tenth time,Smith's nightmare on Zaheer Khan continues।The next chance was for Alviro Petersen who himself led the bowl to the bails after hitting his pad, in a hurry to walk across the stumps।Then Kallis had a very unlucky run out from the hands of then bowler Ishant Sharma।Even then South Africa was under control as their "WALL" Hashim Amla was there on the center।But a doosra from Harbhajan have spoiled their hopes, a one after his thousands।From then onwards it was as quick as lightning।Dravid and Pujara took two lightning faster catches which showed off their high reflexes।It was also a co-incidence that the day Dravid got his 200-th catch Pujara took the first catch in his International test career।At the end Harbhajan topped the table with 4for 10 and Zaheer 30 for 3

In the second innings even though Sehwag and Vijay had a good starting they didn't capitalized on it।Same were the case with Dravid and Sachin।All once again thrown away their wickets as they gone before their poor shot selection।After the tea however Pujara and Laxman is batting calm and quietly and now India is having around 185 runs effectively।Hope that India can have their target towards South Africa around 300 runs।Then it is going to be a suspense filled match।I am sure....

ASIA CUP FINAL


Once again India team spoiled a great opportunity to score a huge total in the Asia-Cup Final.Atleast India have scored 25 runs shorter than they needed.A bow to the Srilankan bowlers as they conceeded only 55 runs in the last 10 overs and also they didn't even gave away a single boundary in the last 5 overs which was India's batting power-play.
After struggling in the end overs Indian team have managed to score 268/6 in 50 overs.Without Sehwag,Gambhir and Karthik opened the Indian innings.Even though there havn't any big partnership betwen them Karthik managed to score a well directed 66 runs which was more meaningful in the Indian innings.Dhoni who himself had the batting promotion scored 38 runs .Once again Rohit Sharma(41) was searching for his partner but could not find any.Both Dhoni and Rohit was out in the eager of increasing the run-rate.In the end Ravindra Jadeja (27*) and Harbhajan Singh(7*) could not do much as they have been tied by some of the good bowling from the Srilankan pacers.
Now Seilanka need 269 runs to win this Asia-Cup.A nd to defend that Indian bowlers has to spare some good bowling and fielding figures as chasing the score would not do any harm to batsmen in the lights....

INDIA FLOP....


Thanks to Rohit Sharma for making India's loss in a decent manner.While I was watching India's batting I was afraid that India could make another world record of lowest score in T-20 international.Indian batting line-up were struggling at 32-5.Oh sorry,not struggling they deserve it as any "INDIAN STARS" shown their responsibility to stay in the crease.Every one was competing among themselves to reach the pavilion as fast as possible.I wonder is there any cash prize for "who reach the pavilion first and fast".
Earlier winning the toss Indian captain selected fielding first.But the Aussie batsmen showed it was absolutely wrong as David Warner(72) and Shane Watson(54) struck the Indian bowlers with no mercy.Even though rest of the batsmen couldn't do much it was enough for them-a huge total of 184/5.In reply as I said it was also all....Only Rohit Sharma(79*) and Harbhajan Singh(13) could cross the double figures.Dirk Nannes and Mitchell Jhonson flooded the Indian batting with three wickets each.

Gambhir....No:1 at the end of 2009


First of all I wish a warm 2010 ahead for all my reader's....
India's opening batsmen Gautam Gambhir ranked no:1 at the end of 2009 ICC world rankings.His opening partner Sehwag remained static in the table at no:4.Srilanka's top two players Sangakka and Jayawardane were in between Sehwag and Gambhir.Sachin Tendulkar was there in the list in the 13-th position.
While in the bowling department India's Harbhajan Singh was there at sixth and Zaheer dropping one place to 11-th with Dayle Steyn at the top of the table.

KOTLA....SHAME....


As the final and the fifth ODI match between India and Srilanka was abandoned due to dangerous playing conditions and this would be the most embarrassment for the DDCA.From the start itself occasional deliveries reared up and one such delivery hit Dilshan which brought hin in severe pain and needed for an urgent first aid in the field iteslf.
The bad condition of the pitch was first reported by the Srilankans when one from Tyagi bounced to very high which was even difficult for Dhoni to hold.Soon they reported this matter to the umpires and later the decision came that the match has been abandoned.The Srilankan innings was at 83/5 as they lost early wickets and failed to move on to a good target.
Winning the toss Indian skipper Dhoni chose to field and the decicion soon hit the bull's eye as Zaheer got the wicket of last match centurion Upul Tharanga in the first ball itself.Sudeep Tyagi and Harbhajan also added to the Srilankan's worry as they bowled with correct line and length.Also the Indian fielding supported the bowling department very well.

INDIA IN WORRY....


Indian cricket team will be in a little worried situation tomorrow when the team will be playing against the Srilankans in the fourth match at Eden Gardens-the world's largest cricket stadium until Melbourne cricket ground was renovated . The reason for the Indian worries are Yuvraj Singh has been ruled out following his injury in his little finger.This is apart from the fact thet Dhoni too will not there in the playing eleven as he was banned for 2 matches due to his slow over rate.
Eden Gardens has always been known to produce some fantastic cricket moments.Harbhajan's hat-trick,Sachin's controversiel run out as he ran into Shoaib Akthar are only a few out of these....Let's hope for more on tomorrow from this ground of our 'DADA'....

INDIAN TEAM-A BALANCED ONE....


Do you know why the present Indian team is now on the top of the world test ranking?Do you know what is the secret behind India's present fantastic performance?
The answer to these questions are as simple as throwing a pebble into a pond .Now the present team is a very balanced one in any of the department.India team is now having the best seven batsmen in the team.Starting from Sehwag,Gambhir,Sachin,Yuvraj,Dhoni,Dravid,Laxman.While coming to the pace attack leading bowlers are with this team Zaheer,Sreesanth,Ishant who can disturb any batting order.And of course the spinners also Harbhajan and Ojha.And also a lot gifted bench players like Murali Vijay and Karthik.
Really this Indian team is impossible and fabulous....

INDIA WAY TO NO:1....

On the way to the world's no:1 team in the world of test cricket just one more day and 5 wickets are remaining.Now the current score of Srilankan second innings is274/6.Zaheer-Ojha 2-2 and Harbhajan-Sreesanth 1-1 disturbed the Srilankan innings periodically.With only 4 wickets remaining it has to be seen that how long Srilankan innings will last.
India have almost registered their victory in this match.The only obstacle now is the Srilankan captain Kumar Saangakkara who i playing fearlessly at 127* and he is trying his best to save the test match from the hands of India.And it will be interesting to see whether he ill be successful in his attempt...

DRAVID IN, ROHIT OUT....


Yesterday the Indian team for ICC Champions Trophy and for the Tri-nation series in Srilanka was declared. As everyone expected Rohit Sharma who was trying hard to come back in his rythm was excluded and "Mr.Cool" Dravid was included in the Indian squad.After 2 years Dravid was included in the Indian team where he last played was in Nagpur in October 27 against Australia.With Dravid in the middle order hopes are strong for a good Indian total.Dravid with risky wristy shots and and his leaning shot in his toes would definitely help the Indian middle.On the other hand Rohit was troubling to cope with the short pitches were he was tested by the west Indian pace attack last month.
Beside Dravid;Meastro Sachin Tendulkar was also back in the squad which would also help the Indian team to a great extent.Ansewring to the press chief selector Krishnamachari Srikanth reveals that this team has the fine chance for winning both tournaments who pick the same team for the ICC Champions Trophy and Triseries.

The squad: Sachin,Rahul,Yuvraj,Raina,Yousaf Pathan,Harbhajan,R.P.Singh,Ishant,Amit Mishra,Dinesh Karthik,Abhishek Nair,Nehra,Praveen Kumar.

Thinking of you,DADA....




We can see the touch of God,his majesty everywhere.In football if it was with Diego Maradona,in cricket he would be there in the offside of Sourav Ganguly.Yes Dada,you are gifted,a natural striker of the cricket ball through the pin hole gap in the offside.
Someone said"Leader is the one who leads from the front...." and Ganguly purely showed it.It was his risk to make a batsman like Sehwag to open the innings,it was his choice to retain Yuvraj,Harbhajan in his team.It was his mind that made Javagal Srinath to come back to the International cricket after his first retirement.Yes, you were always right.It was Ganguly who taught the Indian team to go for the victories than a dead draw in test matches.We say "why take chances?" but Ganguly thought in an another way "If you need victories then why don't you take risks????"
It was he who supported Greg Chappel to be the coach of Indian cricket team after John Wright left that position.Even though it was Greg who criticized the most about Ganguly's performance and always wanted him to be out of the Indian cricket team and atlast he suceeded in his "mission".Here comes the memory of words that Dr.Abdul Kalam one's said "Waves are my inspiration not because they rise and fall but after each fall they rise again...."Ganguly was also like these waves,after his fall from the team he came back like a hurricane.The batting figures shows that in 8 test matches he scored runs with an average of 58.98 including 5 centuries.
(even Sachin Tendulkar doesn't posses this).Even then Ganguly was criticized.They all waited eagerly for a low scoring game of Ganguly even though they got only a few.
