Editor’s Pick(TNPL): Chepauk Super Gillies

Editor’s Pick(TNPL): Chepauk Super Gillies - Ruby Trichy Warriors

It does not look like it could be a close match. Chennai is second on the table with four wins from five matches. Trichy is second last with only one win from four matches.

My original team was made up of

Batsmen - T Sargunam, Baba Indrajith, Bharath Shankar,

Bowlers - R Alexander, J Koushik, Ravisrinivasan S, Anthony Dhas

Wicket-Keeper - H Gopinath

All-Rounder - Rajagopal Satish, Akkil Srinaath

But I had three points and I had only ten players on my lineup. So I had to drop Rajagopal Satish. I added two more players in his place.

My current lineup

Batsmen

Bharath Shankar

Baba Indrajith

T Sargunam

Bowlers

Kannan Vignesh

Anthony Dhas

Ravisrinivasan S

J Koushik

R Alexander

Wicket-Keeper

S Karthik

H Gopinath

All-Rounder

Akkil Srinaath

Akkil Srinaath is, in my opinion, one of the most promising players of this season. He has shown great potential and is likely to help his team reach the finals.

What do you think?

Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultans - Post Match Blog.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Ain't it true. Newcomers Sultans thrash Peshawar Zalmi by 7 wickets in PSL 2018 opener sending shockwaves through the league. Being a defending champion did take a toll on Peshawar Zalmi. Not easy walking into a tournament with everyone looking at you assuming you will win.

When the Sultans came in to bat, they had an early upset when they lost the opener for a duck. With a target of 152, it took the experienced Kumara Sangakkara to set the ship on course towards the target. He was calm and composed as he has been throughout his international career. Singles and doubles. And planned boundaries. By the time he was out, caught behind, the team was fairly stable. Shoaib Malik’s captain knock along with Kieron Pollard finished the match in style.
Earlier in the day, Peshawar Zalmi came in to bat. Apart from Mohammad Hafeez’s 59, with twenty-something runs from Dwayne Smith and Darren Sammy; the rest of the batsmen barely contributed. Like I s…

Fan Data Analytics: Key to drive sports company growth

Over the last several years, the buzz word in business and IT circles has been "big-data" and analytics. Many many articles and write-ups talk about them so I won't go into the details. You could get enough to last a lifetime with just the first few results of a Google search of these terms. But do you really know how it applies, specifically to a sports company?

For long, sports franchises have been one of the biggest users of analytics. Before this was a buzz word, coaches and managers have relied up numbers and finding patterns in them to drive on-field performance. Indeed, the major leagues of the world have relied on performance analytics for everything from scouting for talent to calling the action on the field of play.

But that never transcended to the off-field, more mundane but equally important task of managing the sports business. As more and more options come up vying for the fan's attention - live events, travel, other sports, TV, the Internet - the war…

Rafael Nadal continued his good run since his comeback in Feb 2013 but also suffered a rare loss at the hands of his compatriot, Davis Cup team mate and good friend David Ferrer in the exhibition tournament at Abu Dhabi and finished third. However, the following week, he won the Qatar Open, earning 500 ATP points and extending his lead over Novak Djokovic who continues to hold the second spot in th…
