There is not even a single person who can deny that MS Dhoni is one of the best skippers that the Indian cricket team has ever had as it was under his regime that India won three major ICC trophies – 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy. Many cricketers such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, etc. made their debut under Dhoni’s captaincy which proves that Dhoni has the capability to recognize talent and he groomed them so that the Indian side doesn’t fumble after his retirement. Though MS Dhoni’s track record in test matches is not as great as that of Virat Kohli but India had registered some great wins under his leadership and veteran pacer Ishant Sharma has played an important role in many of those wins. One of the memorable wins was India’s victory in the Lord’s test match against England in 2014 after India got whitewashed by 0-4 in 2011. It won’t be wrong to say that each team member contributed in this ...

The Indian cricketer Virat Kohli is certainly one of the greatest of all times as he recently broke Sachin Tendulkar’s record of scoring the fastest 25000 runs in international cricket. Virat achieved this milestone in the 2 nd test match against Australia which was played at Delhi and was won by India by 6 wickets. He is the sixth cricketer of the world to reach the 25K runs mark and he achieved this feat in 549 innings, 28 less than Little Master. Virat Kohli is one of those few cricketers who have achieved legend status while playing the game and this is why every bowler wants to take his wicket. The Pakistan Super League is currently being played in Pakistan and recently, a PSL franchise Lahore Qalandars posted a video of an interesting conversation between Pakistani cricketers – Babar Azam and Haris Rauf. In the video, Haris Rauf is seen telling Babar Azam that he has to take Virat’s and his (Babar’s) wickets at any cost, Kane Williamson has been dropped twice at slips and he ...

The present day cricket has become very competitive, especially with the advent of the T20Is and now most of the teams prefer to have all-rounders in their playing eleven as it gives them much needed depth. However this was not the case some years ago; at that time, the teams used to have specialist batters, specialist bowlers and just one or two all-rounders. Earlier, the last three positions in the playing eleven were fixed for specialist bowlers and nobody expected them to score runs because their job was to take wickets and not make runs. Nevertheless, things have changed now and the team management wants that their specialist bowlers should also know some batting, though they are not expected to make big scores still they should at least be able to stay on the crease and play some shots, if needed. Often we have seen lower-order batters or tailenders playing aggressive cricket as they have the license to hit because even if they get out cheaply, it doesn’t matter much and today w...

The former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is undoubtedly one of the most loved cricketers of all times, his contribution towards the Indian Cricket is immense and there is hardly any milestone which hasn’t been achieved by him.
