The game of T20 can be a great leveler. At the beginning of the tournament, RPS stuttered while SRH cruised. At one point, SRH topped the table and RPS languished at the bottom. Now, RPS, having already qualified into the playoffs, are one of the top two, bettered only by Mumbai Indians, easily the best […]

International Cricket, be it a bilateral series, or be it even a money-spinning T20 league like the IPL, is serious business. Players always play under tremendous pressure and frequently under the watchful eyes of experts and unapologetic fans. Expectations are mostly unreasonable, especially if you’re of those Indian Cricketers, most of whom are followed with […]

First, the loud cheer after Rahane got out. Not because the crowd was supporting the SRK-owned KKR. It was because one of their favorite heroes, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, walked in to bat. Then, a flashy boundary and a couple of signature sixes got the crowd going. Later, when Kolkata Knight Riders started their run chase […]

Sushant Singh Rajput, the leading Bollywood actor who played the legendary former India Captain in his biopic, was in for severe trolls by Dada fans after Dhoni failed to score against the Mumbai Indians. Mahi limped to 7 out off 10 balls, and couldn’t quite pick up from where he had left in the game […]

Another day; another match-winning knock, another stunning boundary to finish the game for his Team… For Mahendra Singh Dhoni, it might just have been another day at Office, but for legions of his fans, it was a day of reckoning; a day of rejoicing and a day of unprecedented happiness, even as Dhoni sprang back […]

You cannot keep a top bracket cricketer out of contention for too long. After the controversy surrounding MS Dhoni, the accusatory finger-pointing, and senseless tweeting and quite a few apparent trends, the man sprung back to life and how! On a wicket that showed awkward bounce and where the ball did not exactly come on […]

While a section of Twitterati trended #DhoniDropped day before yesterday, the same day when Mahendra Singh Dhoni, yet again, failed to make a mark after he got out LBW to Ravindra Jadeja, scoring 5 off 8, the former India Captain found unconditional support as his fans have been trending #WeStandByDhoni since yesterday, in a bid […]

As if the preposterous mudslinging the RPS Owner Sanjiv Goenka’s brother Harsh Goenka is indulged in wasn’t enough, Sourav Ganguly, former India Captain, stoked the already insipid fire by saying, “I doubt if Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a good T20 Player”. While we agree Dada’s statement isn’t mindless criticism like Harsh Goenka’s and won’t irk […]

If you’re a 22-year old wicket-keeper batsman and enjoy Rahul Dravid’s confidence, you’ve got to be special. Period. Thus, we blindly believed Sanju Samson had the talent and temperament, flashed of which he displayed back in 2013, when he first turned up for the Rajasthan Royals. One glimpse at the diminutive lad and spotless technique, […]

When the Kings XI Punjab’s newly appointed coach Virender Sehwag, the explosive former India batsman, walks into the Holkar Stadium, albeit as a non-player, he will instantly be nostalgic – his swashbuckling 219 came on this ground, the curator of which, Samandar Singh Chauhan, took great pride then for dishing out the kind of track […]
