Editor’s Pick(Test):India - Sri Lanka

By
The third match and final test match between India and Sri Lanka is here. India lead the series as of now - 2-0. Indian Captain and new coach Ravi Shastri are all smiles. And why not? The men in blue could be the First Indian Team to complete a whitewash and could defeat the lions in their den. That is really something. Another vital stats - Virat Kohli and team have six 600+ totals in tests. That is the most by any team under the same captain. Also, if India win this test, they win nine tests in the island. This will be the most by any visiting side.
In the second test match, C Pujara and A Rahane hit centuries. In reply to their first innings of 622, Sri Lanka managed only 183. Folow-on ensued. Sri Lanka was sent to bat again. They fell short. India won by an innings and 53 runs. That was truly below-par performance by Sri Lanka. They need to pull their socks up and hit back.

Fantasy Sports in India - Growth and Future

By
Not Just Yet Another Western Import
Fantasy sports is already a huge phenomenon world over, particularly in the Western world, and is only growing. And an ecosystem is developing around it – from sports experts to technology providers to ordinary fans turned pundits. Industry estimates peg the overall market for Fantasy Sports in the US alone to be $4 Billion annually[1] and grew at a rate of 8.5%[2] annually between 2011-2016.
