Due to Indian Premier League, people from all over the world became the greatest fans of Cricket. Now, it’s time for Bollywood sexy actress, Katrina Kaif. Katrina Kaif says that she became a Cricket devil after watching Indian Premier League season 3 and she treats herself as a player on the field but not as a spectator.

MS Dhoni is a very well known player in the Indian Cricket and had a safe place in every Indian’s heart.
MS Dhoni became Indian Cricket team captain for the first ICC World Twenty20 in the year 2007 and he was the reason for team India to acquire a title ‘World Champions’ in Twenty20. After that, he has taken the responsibilities of the Indian One-Day International team and test Cricket captaincy.
MS Dhoni succeeded in both the formats as a captain and played an important role in the Indian team victories. He was great till then and later Dhoni failed which resulted the early exit of 2009 ICC World Twenty20. (more…)
Let’s analyze who will in the final match of ICC World Twenty20. However, we do expect some teams, but many of them didn’t expect that England will reach the final. England has got good players but they didn’t perform well before the beginning of ICC World Twenty20 and in the beginning also England struggled a lot. Due to those strenuous efforts, now it seems they reached the finals. Finally, experience taught them a lesson!
In the Super 8 and in the semi-finals, we watched a good game from England. England players, Kevin Peterson, Collingwood and bowler Sidebottom performed well. But, how they will face the Australia in the final of ICC World Twenty20 remains the big question. (more…)
The 2-1 scoreline is not unexpected given the way India have pushed Sri Lanka to the brink in all but one game – a Twenty20 – played in the limited-overs leg of the tour. But now, with the home team missing two match-winners, a hurting Sri Lanka have a realistic chance of leveling the series.
This will be the first time since MS Dhoni’s debut in 2004 that India play an ODI without him and Yuvraj Singh. Dhoni has often said that missing Yuvraj is a big blow, so how India cope with the loss of their captain and best batsman in ODIs in addition to Yuvraj will be crucial. (more…)
Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh has been ruled out of the ongoing one-day international series against Sri Lanka because of a finger injury. Yuvraj had picked up the injury while fielding during the second Twenty20 in Mohali and was subsequently unavailable for the first two ODIs.
He has been advised rest for the next two matches of the ODI series after aggravating the worrisome finger and his participation in the forthcoming tri-series in Bangladesh remains in doubt. Yuvraj returned to the starting XI for the third ODI in Cuttack yesterday and scored 23 from 40 balls as India took a 2-1 lead in the five-match contest. (more…)
The thrashing in Nagpur was just the latest in a series of embarrassing losses in T20 cricket for the Indian team in recent times.
Many wonder why is it that the same players who do so well for their IPL franchises, fail badly when they come together as a unit under the India crest.
For the team management and their millions of fans and the players themselves, this question must surely lead to plenty of scratching of heads. (more…)
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Tuesday blamed the team’s inability to defend a decent total to the dew factor and said the side might request the organisers for an early start to the remaining matches.
“It was always going to be difficult to defend a total like 280-285. Dew became a huge factor. We knew we had to pick early wickets. After the first 10 overs there was nothing for the bowlers,” Dhoni rued after Sri Lanka cruised to a five-wicket win with two overs to spare. (more…)
Breaking his silence on the Ferozeshah Kotla pitch fiasco, Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara said the track did not look “normal” soon after the first five overs and was too dangerous to continue playing.
“Even after 6-10 overs, we could feel that the pitch was not normal. But the Match Referee (Alan Hurst) said ‘I cannot do anything. It was a call for the on-field umpires to take’.
“We spoke to the fourth umpire as well. We cannot, from outside, make a request to the umpire. The two on-field batsmen had to make a request,” Sangakkara said after his team returned from India losing both the Test and ODI series.
“The umpires were also waiting to see whether the pitch would improve. By the 23rd over, they knew that it did not even out. Then (Muthumudalige) Pushpakumara got hit and (Thilina) Kandamby nearly got hit,” he told reporters. (more…)
Mahmudullah, after posting a maiden half-century, couldn’t rally around the tail, and Bangladesh squandered the advantage that the 108-run seventh-wicket stand had secured them. In two overs after tea, Bangladesh lost the two remaining batsmen meekly, falling one short of India’s first-innings total, and giving them close to two hours to build up a lead.
Mahmudullah smote the first ball after tea for four, but when he lofted the fifth ball of the over over mid-on, he came back for two – any other settled batsman would have taken a single and taken the whole of next over. (more…)
