FROM DHONI's BOY TO ICC CRICKETER OF THE YEAR: AN IT ENGINEER's UNBELIEVABLE 'OFF BREAK' JOURNEY!

"The journey thus far hasn't been a bed of roses, but if those thorns hadn't come In my way I wouldn't be half the person that I m today."                                                                                     T20's were a revolutuion, a 6ft 2in Off break opening the Bowling attack was something beyond that! 54th match of the 2009 IPL season,CSK is playing KXIP in a do or die match at Kingsmead,Durban. Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first, despite having just 116 in the scorecard, the former runnerups were in the verge of going out. Eventhough KXIP lost Sunny Sohal early, Simon Katich & Luke Pomerbach started slowly, at one stage they were 32 for 1, suddenly Dhoni introduced the wizard from one end, Muttiah Muralidaran. He got both the Australians out. Suddenly a new face were introduced against India's own Yuvraj Singh, a 6 feet 2in tall, a Tamilian playing his second game,doing his off breaks for the first time in IPL.  MS

INDIA WAITING..!!

"But this is just the foundation that's been laid for us to carry on. It's just the beginning. It's not even a tiny bit of what we want to achieve . We understand where we want to go and hopefully the guys can keep putting in this kind of effort and take the team where it belongs" Is there a smell of warning in King Kohli's words? I Feel yes! This Team wants more. They are ready to take more challenges. India losing in India is a big headline for Indian Fans. Winning in huge margins is not a big thing here. In 2001, without Kumble India Shattered the Australians, who were the Immortals visited India with 15 Consecutive Test victories in their name.Losing at Wankhede, the way India came back still remains as a phenomenal perfomance in the hearts of Indian Fans.  Situation was also similar 3 years back, when Australia was whitewashed by India(4-0). Later on the same Australia, under Pup, won the World Cup. So beating any team in India doesn't signi

"Absolutely magnificent! DHONI..””!! FINISHES OFF INSTYLE! A magnificent stroke into the crowd! INDIA lift the world cup ! After 28 years ! The party started in the dressing room" In Country Like India, where Cricket is like a religion, the people will never forget this moment and for many hardcore followers, the thing which comes to our mind when we hear about cricket  is that huge strike into the crowd! 28 years, Home soil, Sachin's waiting, big final still...This commentary would be incomplete with this sentence "and, It's an INDIAN CAPTAIN who’s been absolutely magnificent in the night of the final." On this Independence Day, there is nothing much better than this to be shared. The Trailer of the upcoming movie "MS Dhoni:the untold story" had influenced every Indian that much.The Response to the trailer shows it : 11k views in 3 days. Any Bollywood movie didn't get this response in past.  An Upcoming actor like  Sushant Singh Rajpu

Kangaroos for 2019 World Cup: Predicting the Australian team for 2019

Image
2015 marked an year of change for Australian cricket. They returned to the summit of one day internationals and started of on a new phase of change with retirement of their skipper Michael Clarke as well as other key players including Mitchell Johnson, Shane Watson and Ryan Harris. Now under Steve Smith, the Aussies' have a exciting group of players to work with,but the trouble is they all have had fitness issues.So who all among the current crop would make the cut come 2019...here is my pick including 5 specialist bowlers and a keeper. 1.Steven Smith(captain) How can a ship sail without its captain?Under current conditions there is no way Smith is not going to be in the squad to England bar a serious injury. 2.David Warner Yet another certainty...no questions asked. 3.Mitchell Starc Probably the best bowler in the world before his injury.Will make the trip bar a similar body breakdown 4.Glenn Maxwell There have been a lot of questions asked regarding his ability

crickTALK @crickRJ: Blue or Green This time?

If this question was Asked 2 weeks ago, I would Probably go with Blue! But Today as an Indian I would wish to Have 'Luck'. Its not because I have lost faith in this Indian Team, but above all its a game, here there is no point in believing blunders like "India lost to Newzeland in 2007 T20 WORLD CUP, Chris Gayle scored a 100 in 2007 WC and rest is History and all",What plays here is Pressure, Pressure of the Game, Pressure of being an Indian more importantly. If we say, just like as in our  textbooks and all, Today the Pressure could be divided into 3 sections ;- First one is Nothing but,   Pressure of Defeat, Which was created by another Defeat Indeed. Its The Indian Batsmen, who has to take responsibilty for this Pressure. Being Senior Players in the side, should have some maturity. They has to read the situation well. When Ball is turning, they had to wait,  you just can't throw you wickets. Especially The dismissals of Dhawan ,Rohit and Raina in
