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.

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

Need for co-ed sports

By
Now, this is hardly a feminist piece. I am not here to tell you that women can do anything that men can and better too. One, you know it too. Two, this is hardly about women. I am not here to praise women and demand better rights. I am talking about the possibility that the entire field of sports can take a whole new meaning if gender is not made the criterion. So this is how the idea for the blog started. The Women’s Indian Cricket Team performed really well at the world cup this year. Mithali Raj praised her team for their hard work, persistence, and passion for the game. She also added that there should be an IPL tournament in the country for the women’s team now. Raj believes that the team’s fantastic game has increased the fan following for the women’s team as well and that they have earned their place here. While I am honestly not sure about an IPL tournament for women, it did get me thinking. Why not mixed sports? Now that girls play almost all the games that the guys do, w

Blog Time: How I won my Fantain Fantasy Cricket

By
I played the Sri Lanka – Zimbabwe match and I won more than six times what I put in. That is a really good investment, isn’t it? I have been asked by Fantain to share what I did and how I planned my lineup. This is how. Kusal Perera  – I made him captain. I won a massive 120 points. My vice-captain was Dinesh Chandimal .  So I got 43.5. In hindsight, I could have picked Perera. He did fabulously well and earned a whopping 89 on the app. The other player in my lineup who helped me win was Sikandar Raza . He got 88.5 on the app. These four players are a must be in the next match between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.  Dinesh Chandimal is one good consistent player that I always have. So it’s like this. I have four categories when I play fantasy cricket. One is the must-have players who will be on my team no matter what. For this match that I played, they were Kusal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal, and Upul Tharanga. For me, old is gold. Experience speaks volumes. The second category is ba
