India comes back with a bang. Level Series.

By
We Won !!!!!!





We don’t do subtle, do we? When we lose we lose
quite badly. When we win, we make sure everyone
sits up and takes notice. Yesterday’s match was won
with a bang. Everything from the batting, the bowling,
the wicketkeeping and the fielding all take the cake.
I don’t even know where to start. The series has been
leveled. The next match decides the fate of the series.
That makes the series all the more exciting.
Let’s see how the match yesterday was. Rohit Sharma.
The man. He was the hero of the day. He made
spectators out of the the fielders of the opposition.
They could do nothing but watch the ball
make its way to the boundaries and across it. All Sri
Lanka did was bowl and then bring the ball back
from outside of the stadium to bowl some more. It
was his third double ton. And the only player in the
history of the game to have done so.
India bounced back after what was considered as a
debacle in the first ODI. And we are more than
likely to forget it once India wins the ODI Series.
Yes there is still that clause.

When Sri Lanka walked in, they not only had a
mammoth total of 392, their bowlers, their morale
and everything else took a massive hit. Early
wickets fell. From then on it only seemed like a
matter of time when suddenly Sri Lanka gained
momentum towards the end. While a win was
impossible, the margin of defeat was definitely
reduced. That helps, you know. The margin was
still high. 141. But it could have been way worse.
Angelo Mathews’ lone fight will not be unnoticed.

Rohit Sharma’s double ton was supported by
Shreyas Iyer’s 88 and Shikar Dhawan’s 68. India
was on a roll from the first delivery. They did take
the first defeat rather badly. And they should.
Whatever helps them get back into the game.
Another point to be noticed especially those critics
who think Dhoni’s age matters. His sprinting between
the wickets was a delight to watch. Every run matters.
And Captain Cool took every chance he could get to
help increase the total of the team.
End of the day, Rohit Sharma not only joined the party,
he was the party. We look forward to the third ODI on
17th December. Get your team ready for Fantain
Fantasy Sports lineup on the app as well.

We have more coming up for you. Get Ready.
You will be impressed.

Peshawar Zalmi vs Multan Sultans - Post Match Blog.

By
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…

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 …
