Editor's Pick (Test Match): India - Sri Lanka Test

By
Building a holistic relationship with the neighbours is quite vital on every front. Cricket has been one of the more popular ways to build and enhance the bond. This has worked quite well between India and Sri Lanka. In the world of cricket, the players share a very nice equation as well.
Form
India and Sri Lanka have been in good form since the Champions Trophy that took place a while ago. Both India and Sri Lanka were in group B. India made it up to the finals and lost to Pakistan in what the Indian Fans would describe as a heart breaking match. Well, that’s Indian fans for you. Passionate and hard core. But with the team every step.
India lost to Sri Lanka in that tournament by 7 wickets. It was a very high scoring match where India made 321. Sri Lanka chased the score and won with 8 deliveries to spare. Sri Lanka might not have made it to the semi-finals but they still defeated India in the tournament.
2017 Test Match
India gets into this tournament with a new coach. Our very own Ravi Shastri. He has been associated with the game and the Indian Team in one way or the other. He is a professional through and through. It will be a good relationship is what one would predict. Time will tell.
Sri Lanka cannot be taken lightly, especially on home grounds. India knows it. Being the subcontinent, India will look to start with three spinners. Kuldeep Yadav will support R Ashwin (Who misses TNPL) and R Jadeja. Sri Lanka brings back Nuwan Pradeep to support D De Silva. The trio - Angelo Mathews, U Tharanga and N Dickwella form the pillars of the team.

Let’s take a look at one possible lineup

Kusal Mendis

D De Silva
Angelo Mathews
U Taranga
Bowlers
R Ashwin
Kuldeep Yadav
Nuwan Pradeep

Do you agree? Or would you want this lineup? More batsmen than bowlers?

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

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
