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.


My lineup for tomorrow
Batsmen
A Rahane
Abhinav Mukund
C Pujara
Lokesh Rahul
Shikhar Dhawan
A Mathews
Bowlers
M Shami
R Ashwin
Nuwan Pradeep
Wicket-Keeper
N Dickwella
All-Rounder
D Perera


Do you agree? R Jadeja performed exceedingly well. He deserves to be on the lineup. So does Karunaratne.
Last match winning combination
R Jadeja
R Ashwin
D Karunaratne
A Rahane
Kusal Mendis
C Pujara
Rangana Herath
N Dickwella
D Perera
Lokesh Rahul
Umesh Yadav

Editor’s Pick (Nidahas T20): India - Sri Lanka

By
The table is currently in a very surprising situation. Most expected Sri Lanka to show Bangladesh the door. But here they are still standing up and shining. The tournament is wide open. Today’s match is between India and Sri Lanka. The stakes are much higher now that Bangladesh is more feared than before. The teams would not want to risk anything at this point. Earlier I had said that they might experiment with the lineup and give everyone a chance. Now it will be more than giving people a chance. They will strategize. The Indian team will be open to experimentation, but not at the cost of results.

The untested ones are Deepak Hooda, KL Rahul, and Axar Patel. India has lost to Sri Lanka in their first encounter of this tournament. They will want to be wary because another defeat could cost them the tournament itself. So, not all the new players will see the light today.
A lot depends on Rohit Sharma today. Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey and Dinesh Karthik will chip in too.…

IPL so far

The tournament is halfway through. There have been some brilliant performances and some worth forgetting. The T20 fever has gripped the country with intensity. Come evening, and cricket fans sit in front of the television, with the phone in their hands. This is to follow not just the men on the fields but also their very own fantasy team that they have created on the Fantain App.
Let’s have a look at how the eight teams have played so far. Going in the order of points on the table

Editor's Pick (T20): India - New Zealand

By
Here we are. The third and final match of the T20 series. The match between India and New Zealand that decides the fate of the tournament. This is because India won the first match and New Zealand, the second. If you look at the previous match fantasy lineup, there were two players on the fantain app who won the top points. Rakesh Saini and Tadipaar. Their lineup Colin Munro Virat Kohli Trent Boult MS Dhoni Martin Guptill Ish Sodhi Y Chahal Kane Williamson Bhuvneshwar Kumar Rohit Sharma Shikhar Dhawan

The thing is that while I would love to take the same lineup, there is no guarantee that this could be the winner. It is a fab lineup though. Batsmen Virat Kohli Martin Guptill Shikhar Dhawan Rohit Sharma Bowlers Jasprit Bumrah Ish Sodhi Trent Boult Bhuvneshwar Kumar All-Rounders Mitchell Santner
