    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...

    Sachin spoke about it the other day. That what is spoken inside it should stay there. Rahul too mentioned the D-word the day before. That he will miss being a part of it. Both were referring to the `dressing room’. For long, cricket fans have used this term, without bothering...

    The cacophony on Twitter and Facebook, and the media in general, would suggest India has nothing better to do than asking people to retire. The nation went into a collective orgasm as Rahul created a Dra-void in the Indian Test eleven. Strange are the ways of the fickle-minded Indian populace....

    The `coolest one’ has turned cold. Less than a year after he was feted for leading from the front in the World Cup final in Mumbai, the reading of Dhoni’s kundali has changed. From a man who could “do no wrong”, he has become a captain who can do nothing...

    There is a joy that you associate with watching Sachin Tendulkar bat. There is a certain joy in waiting for his turn to come in Tests. There is a certain sense of joyful tension in the air as we see him bat, the fear that he might get out and...

    Have you seen an ostrich? No? Then go to the BCCI office in Mumbai. That’s India’s most well-known ostrich, burying its head in the sand forever. What else, pray tell me, explains its timing to announce the IPL calender on the day India shamed India. The BCCI, frankly couldn’t care...
