Mumbai had just been afforded an excellent start before three quick wickets put paid to their aspirations. Almost! Because in Ambati Rayadu and Saurabh Tiwari, the Mumbai Indians found two batsmen who could not only handle the bat, but also hit the big shots and not lose their wickets in a hurry. Mu
To me, the moment of the first game of the IPL 3.0 came when VVS Laxman dived for his crease during Deccan Chargers’ batting. Ironically, he dived into the crease to prevent himself from getting run-out by another player who is as misfit on the field of a T20 game as Laxman himself; Sourav Gan
The opening ceremony for the IPL 3.0 was declared open by Lalit Modi. For a change one saw a slightly nervous looking – mind you, only slightly – Modi fumbling thrice in his opening three lines of the opening speech, but like a batsman struggling for rhythm finding a couple in the meat o

A lot was expected out of Kolkata Knight Riders in the first season of the IPL. Probably, the fans got blurred between reality and reel-ity. They finished fifth.SRK made all the right noise, gave out a lot of ‘gyaan’ on what went right – which wasn’t much anyway – and w
It is funny how often the Australian cricketers keep getting away with the proverbial murder on the field of cricket. And not once, but twice!Mitchell Johnson escaped with a 60% fine of his match fee only when he tried to head-butt his opposing batsman, Scot Styris in the first ODI against New Zeala
Sourav Ganguly has bet on the fact that the raw pace of his side would help his Kolkata Knight Riders win the tournament. I bet it was a slip of tongue, because Shane Bond is anything but raw pace. He is fast, he is rapid, but in every sense of the word, he has the line and the length to go with it
