Editor’s Pick (PKL)

By
Haryana - Delhi
Zone A match - Dabang Delhi meets Haryana Steelers. Fourth and fifth on the table, these two teams are rather closely matched, with a difference of just one point. Will this match also be close? Let’s see
My lineup
AR: Meraj Sheykh
DF: Surendar Nada, Viraj Vishnu, Mohit Chhillar
RA: Vikash Khandola, Abolfazi M, Anand Patil

Amongst the allrounders, I really did not have much to pick from. Sheykh was my only option literally. The defenders on the other hand - there was Nilesh Shinde who scored 217 points on the app, and Sunil with 150. I have stepped out of my comfort zone and putting my trust in Anand Patil for this match. Let’s see what he has in him. The mass seems to pick Surjeet Singh. R Sriram is not a bad choice, I must say. My gut says Surjeet Singh.
UP - Tamil Nadu
The other match today - Zone B - UP Yoddha meets Tamil Thalaivas. The Tamil Nadu team is still at the bottom of the table. With eleven points to their credit, they are only one point less than the team above them - Telugu Titans.

My lineup
AR: Rajesh Narwal, D Pradap
DF: Amit Hooda, C Arun
RA: Mahesh Goud, Rishank Devadiga, Nitin Tomar.

This match has a better pool to pick from. There’s Sagar Krishna and Pankaj. Amit Hooda and C Arun are, to me, obvious picks. Ajay Thakur and Prapanjan K are the must-haves too. For some reason, I chose to ignore them this match and pick Mahesh Goud and Devadiga.

There are too many matches coming up to talk big picture now. What do you think about my choices this time?

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
