Editor’s Pick: India - Bangladesh

By
“Considered to be the current underdogs, the Bangladesh National Cricket Team can by no means be taken for granted. Nicknamed The Tigers, they are capable of bouncing back and surprising the opponents.”
This was what I had written about the Bangladesh National Cricket Team on our app. The team has surprised everyone by making it so far in the tournament. This is a huge celebration for the nation. The term underdogs will start to fade away soon enough.
News items and pictures are making the rounds, revealing the ugly side of the rivalry. The Indian Cricket Team should not fall prey and just concentrate on the game.
Between the two teams, India has won 26 out of 32 encounters.
My prediction of the playing eleven for the match tomorrow would be
Indian Team Squad
Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav
Bangladesh Team Squad
Mashrafe Mortaza, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Imrul Kayes, Sabbir Rahman, Soumya Sarkar, Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain
Now for the Editor’s pick. My pick..
Virat Kohli - The man leading the team.
M.S.Dhoni - He may not be captain anymore, but Kohli depends on him for little things. That is good enough for me.
Tamim Iqbal - Aggressive left-handed opener.
Rohit Sharma - The hard-hitter of the team.
Shikhar Dhawan - He has been magnificent in the tournament so far.
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar - India’s strength in pace bowling. A complete bowler
Jasprit Bumrah - Right arm fast medium bowler. Give him the new ball and watch wickets tumble.
Rubel Hossain - Can be the game-changer you are looking for.
Shakib Al Hasan - My all-rounder. Batting, bowling, and fielding.
Hardik Pandya - Another good all-rounder. He has a fantastic track record at that.
Mushfiqur Rahim - Batsman-wicket keeper. He’s a good one on the team too.
So far, the prominent decision of the team that has won the toss is to put the opponent into bat first. And it has seemed to work as well. It is imperative to put on a high score on the board so that the bowlers can defend it.
I’d say that the team batting second has a better chance.
Tomorrow, defending champions India take on neighbours Bangladesh in the 2nd Semis of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. All the best to you too !!!!

TNPL - A Brief Rundown

By
Based on the stupendously successful Indian Premier League is the Tamil Nadu Premier League. This Indian T20 cricket league has been established by the Tamil Nadu State Cricket Association to bring out more and more Natarajans and Washingtons who otherwise do not get a chance to showcase their skill and talent in the world of Cricket. The inaugural edition of the TNPL took place in 2016 and received unexpected and unprecedented success and love. There was a brilliant batch of young men who came forward and made an event out of the first season of TNPL. Venues  India Cements Ground, Thirunelveli NPR College Ground, Dindigul  MA Chitambaram Stadium, Chennai  Changes The purpose of every organization is to make it bigger and better.

Editor’s Pick(PKL)

Four more days of Kabaddi, a teeny break and the next round commences on October 23rd. The super playoffs. All this hard work only for that. A look at the point table will give you an idea about who COULD go to the next level. Course anything could happen in the last minute. Anyone could topple. You remember the havoc Bangladesh created during the Champions Trophy. They threw out the big guns. I mean, they probably stopped West Indies from qualifying too, come to think of it. Back to Kabaddi. Zone A is still topped by Gujarat followed by Haryana and Pune. The other three teams - Mumbai, Jaipur and Delhi. Zone B, Bengal take the lead followed by Patna and UP. Today’s match-UP meets Bengaluru. UP is third and are doing very good for themselves. Bengaluru, fifth on the table, don’t really look like they have a chance. Only thing they do want to do now is walk out with a smile saying yes, we tried. UP Yoddha - Squad strength: 18 (16 Indian, 2 Overseas) Defenders – Jeeva Kumar, Ha

From all of us Fans to Players & Officials: Please don't treat us with kid gloves

By Anonymous
As any fan will tell you, we not just love, but understand the sport and our teams like no one else. And that’s also why they keep bankrolling the big fat salaries of the players, the profits of the clubs and the boondoggle of officials. The recently concluded test match raised, in my mind, three instances where the thought process seems to be – it is OK for us to handle it, but it is too hot for fans . Common, now, please don’t treat us with kid gloves. One: The first one, inevitably, is about the DRS and taking the dugouts inputs in it. The rules are clear – the decision to ask for a decision review stays with the players on the field. Within a few seconds of the umpires’ decision, the batting team can dispute an out decision or the bowling team can dispute a not-out decision, without consulting with anyone outside the playing field. The controversy of Smith’s ‘brain-fade’ and Kohli’s allegations have played out ad nauseam on TV and cyberspace, so I will spare you that
