Editor’s Pick(Test): India - Sri Lanka

By
India won the first test match hands down. It was a fantastic match to watch. India hit a massive 600 in the first innings. Dhawan missed his double century by ten runs. Pujara hit 156. The other contributions were fairly good as well. A couple of half-centuries from Pandya and Rahane. It was a good first session. Sri Lanka succumbed to pressure, putting 291 on the board. Questions were being raised - Should Kohli have insisted on a follow on? India put on 240 in the second innings. Kohli got his century. Facing a target of 549, Sri Lanka managed to put on only 245 on the board. India won by 304 runs. It was a true blue day for every Indian Fan. Celebrations were jubilant.
The second test is now around the corner. Let’s take a look at the winning lineup for the first test. Congratulations Rajesh Raju.

Cheteshwar Pujara -120
Angelo Mathews -66.5
Ajinkya Rahane -56
Shikhar Dhawan -162
Abhinav Mukund -73.5
Niroshan Dickwella -71.5
Ravindra Jadeja -113.5
Dilruwan Perera -122
Umesh Yadav -43
R Ashwin -115.5
Nuwan Pradeep -102.5
Prince Singh came second. He had Virat Kohli too on his lineup.

Now, India will want to repeat this stupendous performance. New Coach Ravi Shastri would be fairly pleased with his boys and would expect  consistency through the visit in Sri Lanka. While it is not wise to break a winning combination, the current Indian Squad is filled with really good talent. The captain is not going to have an easy time picking a squad.
India’s Probable eleven include Dhawan, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Ashwin, Pandy, Shami and Yadav. Jadeja took three wickets. Shami - two.
From Sri Lanka, Nuwan Pradeep who took 6 wickets will be in. Tharanga (64), Mathews (83), and Perera (92) are in too. Karunaratne’s 97 in the second innings reduced the defeat margin significantly. Apart from Dickwala, no one else contributed much.

Let’s take a look at our fantasy lineup

Upul Taranga
Shikhar Dhawan
Dimuth Karunaratne
C Pujara
Abhinav Mukund

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 …
