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?

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

Blog Time: How I won my Fantain Fantasy Cricket

By
I played the Sri Lanka – Zimbabwe match and I won more than six times what I put in. That is a really good investment, isn’t it? I have been asked by Fantain to share what I did and how I planned my lineup. This is how. Kusal Perera  – I made him captain. I won a massive 120 points. My vice-captain was Dinesh Chandimal .  So I got 43.5. In hindsight, I could have picked Perera. He did fabulously well and earned a whopping 89 on the app. The other player in my lineup who helped me win was Sikandar Raza . He got 88.5 on the app. These four players are a must be in the next match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.  Dinesh Chandimal is one good consistent player that I always have. So it’s like this. I have four categories when I play fantasy cricket. One is the must-have players who will be on my team no matter what. For this match that I played, they were Kusal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal, and Upul Tharanga. For me, old is gold. Experience speaks volumes. The second category is ba

Need for co-ed sports

By
Now, this is hardly a feminist piece. I am not here to tell you that women can do anything that men can and better too. One, you know it too. Two, this is hardly about women. I am not here to praise women and demand better rights. I am talking about the possibility that the entire field of sports can take a whole new meaning if gender is not made the criterion. So this is how the idea for the blog started. The Women’s Indian Cricket Team performed really well at the world cup this year. Mithali Raj praised her team for their hard work, persistence, and passion for the game. She also added that there should be an IPL tournament in the country for the women’s team now. Raj believes that the team’s fantastic game has increased the fan following for the women’s team as well and that they have earned their place here. While I am honestly not sure about an IPL tournament for women, it did get me thinking. Why not mixed sports? Now that girls play almost all the games that the guys do, w
