    So far Karbonn was associated with the IPL and with Viru Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. That’s set to change now with Karbonn having taken a Kamaal catch with the one and only Rajinikanth. To coincide with the release of his `Kochadaiyaan’, the mobile phone company will release an exclusive range...

    I don’t think cricketer-turned-politician Kiran Kumar Reddy would have found the time to catch the finals of the IPL last night. If nothing else, he can take heart from the fact that a KKR – Kolkata Knight Riders – had triumphed. Will KKR win the Andhra Pradesh Political League as...

    So the worst fears have come true. (Read T S Sudhir’s blogpost : IPL has a perception issue. Fix it). The India TV sting which showed five cricketers talking openly about spot fixing and IPL franchisees paying them remuneration in black and in kind, has just opened a can of...

    IPL 5 has seen more last over finishes than any other IPL season. The number of teams at this stage that can reach the play-pffs are seven. But this post is not about who gets in and who stays out. This is about the missing `Indian’ in the Indian Premier...

    Every morning, one of my co-walkers in the neighbourhood park – a senior citizen – describes in vivid detail the previous night’s IPL match. Since most of the matches this season strangely are last over – sometimes even last ball – finishes, it is a lot of excited chatter. But...

  6. Sreesanth’s toes to go under the knife

    The temperamental bowler last played for India in the Test series in England last summer, and has only played one first-class match before picking up the toe injury. Sreesanth, who had preferred ayurvedic treatment instead of going for a surgery in December last, had originally hoped to be fit in...

    All this while, the consensus was it was terribly boring and a drag. But an advocate in Madurai found the opening ceremony of the IPL’s 5th edition, `indecent and obscene’ and has filed a petition in the Madras High court. The Court has asked Tamilnadu’s police officers to respond to...

  10. `Mr Kumble, keep your passes and garbage with you’

    So the corporators of Bangalore have shown the stuff they are made of. That they too know their cricket. Karnataka State Cricket Association president Anil Kumble must be wondering how to deal with this googly now. Miffed with the KSCA’s refusal to part with 450 passes for every IPL match...
