It's Here!!!!!!!!!!!

By
The day is finally here. We have been waiting for the Indian T20 League to begin for a while now. The excitement, the passion, and the tension in the air are almost palpable. This league has been successful from day one. It might be a surprise to a few cynics here and there. Here’s a list of reasons as to why even on the cusp of the tenth edition, the event is just as popular. Probably more.

  • In India, Cricket is like a religion. We have our own Gods in Sachin Tendulkar and the likes. Sachin Tendulkar has his own temple. This league is a way to celebrate the religion. Something like what Diwali is to the Hindus.
  • The creation, innovation and the magnitude of the game only get bigger and better. This season, we have eight opening ceremonies. That is unprecedented.
  • The rules are exciting.  The game is challenging. A lot is at stake.
  • The money involved. Oh, the money. I think that pretty much sums it all, doesn’t it?
  • We, Fantain, want the fans also to win something out of all this as well. We have our Fantasy App that lets you, the fans, pick your dream team. It does not matter who your idol is and which country he plays for. If you like him, he is on your team. Isn’t that really something?


The tenth season has so much more to look forward to. It is two months of non-stop action. Some of the greatest players in the world come together to play. The opening ceremony involves several big Bollywood stars. There is no shortage of action or drama in the world of T20 League.

Even the cynics cannot refuse now, can they?

Editor’s Pick (Nidahas T20): India - Sri Lanka

By
The table is currently in a very surprising situation. Most expected Sri Lanka to show Bangladesh the door. But here they are still standing up and shining. The tournament is wide open. Today’s match is between India and Sri Lanka. The stakes are much higher now that Bangladesh is more feared than before. The teams would not want to risk anything at this point. Earlier I had said that they might experiment with the lineup and give everyone a chance. Now it will be more than giving people a chance. They will strategize. The Indian team will be open to experimentation, but not at the cost of results.

The untested ones are Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel. India has lost to Sri Lanka in their first encounter of this tournament. They will want to be wary because another defeat could cost them the tournament itself. So, not all the new players will see the light today.
A lot depends on Rohit Sharma today. Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik will chip in too.…

Chennai beats Mumbai and clinch thriller

By
It is not just about coming back. It is about the impact you make in the process. And Chennai team knows how to with a bang.  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 it. I came very early. I …
