Olympic Coverage

What does Olympics mean for you?

I have watched the last couple of Olympics in NBC in the US. The coverage was all US (understandable, though irritating) and it was all about the US players. Where they come from, their trials and tribulations, their sacrifices, the heartaches, the dizzying success, their work ethic – everything added to the narrative for me. It was always the personal story that got me and kept me tuning in and watching all kinds of sports.

This time, I am watching it in India. There is a lot more coverage of events that India is not participating in (understandable – India does not participate in much J) and so the event is truly international. But there are NO stories. This is just one event after another without pausing to cover the players involved at all. I cannot distinguish one athlete from the other. I can’t pick favourites, because I do not know much about anyone. Given this, I am unable to watch a lot of sports that I do not necessarily care about.

Give me NBC any day of the week, and twice on weekends…

Chennai beats Mumbai and clinch thriller

The Chennai team beat the home team by one wicket in what was an absolute sit-at-the-end-of-the-chair thriller. It was one of the best chases the tournament has seen and it most definitely won't be the last. The player who made the difference in the end - Jadhav - literally came back from the dead after retiring hurt to take his team to the finish line by hitting the ball in style with a six and a four. Batting on one leg and playing an absolutely unbelievable shot, this player leveled the scores first with a six and finished the match with a four. Key Points MI has never won their opener since 2013. This was Chennai's first win against MI in an opener of this T20 League DRS used in the league for the first time Bravo : It was a great team effort. I want to dedicate this win to the CSK fan, they have waited long for
