Whenever India visits England or Australia, Every Indian Fan would have hopes of Building a Solid Foreign CV. When India finishes off their historic Afghan Tesr at Bengaluru in 2 days, I Was there at Chinnaswamy with greater hopes,wishing this time it’s going to be tough for England. Even today I Believe, even after burying all those hopes I Believe, unlike the former visits this series were really tough for home side. Apart From the Second test, Indians were never out of the context. I would say this is the best Indian Pace attack that visited England. 287,180,396,317,161,271,246;- The Bowlers really gave their 100%. Taking 67 wickets out of 70,never allowing a good batting home side to reach 500 or 600 is really an achievement. But Still we lost. How and Why? The difference between both the sides were When Indians had Sessions,England had days. And Test Cricket is all about Days. For me the Player of the Series is Sam Curran,followed by Jos Butler and Ben Stokes. I think the

“The bowling might be bad but when Cook thinks he wants to block it, God forbid anyone trying not to sleep”. Those Words from a Spectator at Vizag defines Alastir Nathan Cook.   For us, He was not just an opponent but a brutual nightmare. We all admired his patience From The very first 160-ball 60 and the second innings hundred at the orange city. Even now when he claims‘there is nothing left in the tank’, we admire this left hander with little bit happiness as the greatest contender for Sachin bids goodbye.  Being the Captain,losing the first test, still scoring 562 runs and winning the series is something which make him the greatest rival to this Indian Spectator. Whether it be 294 at Edgbaston or  the highest score by a visiting batsman at the famous MCG, we can just say as one of the placard said “Commit all your crimes when Cook is batting. They will go unnoticed for even the Lord is dozing off to sleep.”   No More sleeping Viewers, The King of Blockathons bids goodbye! ThankYouC

2004-05 Season is considered as one of the greatest Summers for the English under Michael Vaughn.   E ngland went to South Africa having won all seven Test matches they played during the English summer.  A Proper Cricket Follower never Forget that tour as In One day Series  A Legend born in South Africa announced his arrival for England, Kevin Pietersen was the Man of the series in the shorter format. Even if the tour is famous for KP's arrival, I still remember that tour for one guy. The One who made  his debut in Port Elizabeth Test, One who had to witness his captain going for a golden duck from the non strikers end,the Only One. Long shiny golden hair, he was a brilliant fielder like Rhodes,Gibbs. At that time he was treated as a 'Rohit Sharma', the one who do not use his talent well. He Was lazy and get out at critical times. Even when South Africa were growing,chasing 400's ,he was silent at other end. Only few noticed him at that time, I was one.  Now

Saed Anwar's 194,India's record chase against England,Thriller between the rivals in 99, list goes on. Chepauk is flourished by huge history. The Chepauk crowd always appreciated cricket, especially the spirit in which the game was played. That is why the crowd gave Pakistan a standing ovation in 99, after the crackerjack of a Test that Pakistan seized with its last gasp. The Audience always had the the knowledge and were even ready to appreciate the opponents.  A generous portion of the magic that resides within storied sporting encounters is churned out by the venues that host them.We can easily relate those words by Arun Vengopal with Chepauk. Sporting Crowd reputation is one which keeps Chepauk apart. This made Chennai Super Kings, the most popular team in IPL from 2008 to 2015. The most dominated IPL franchise then, played the major role in determining the 'Outcomes' of IPL from 2008 to 2015. Chepauk is already in the verge of excitement, as the Yellow Lions

In The Biopic of MS Dhoni, there is a scene where a selector is saying to MS that "There is 3 Years for the World Cup" and he replies to them as "There is just 3 Years for the World Cup sir". This is just a dialogue, but the 'just' he uses is in his reply has got a significant meaning.Even though the media burned him, The Preparations he did from that series had a great impact in the World Cup.The 4 years before the World Cup is very crucial, especially last 2.  Indian Cricket is going through a face where "The Vice Captain of Test Cricket Team is not a permanent member in ODI cricket and the Vice Captain of ODI Team is not a permanent member of Test Team". That shows the Bench Strength of Indian Team,that much amount of young cricketing talents we are producing in our Cricket. Yes! It is good to have different team for 3 formats, rotation is a good process too. But the fact is Cricket's biggest event is nearby and now it is the time to set

“It's for moments like these that I play cricket" Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke,Brett Lee, Shane Watson,Mitchell Johnson..The list goes on.. When we beat a team that ruled Cricket like a Hitler, the happiness are beyond words as Yuvi told. The moment Yuvraj roared, it was not just a Semi berth, it was the end of an empire, where Hitlers like Ponting and all ruled. It was fortune that India ended their dominance, because there is no team in the world who deserves to knock out Australiain 2011 World Cup! For India, Motera was the "Revenge" Field, revenge for the tears in Johanesburg, revenge for Greats like Ganguly and Dravid, revenge for Sachin Tendulkar, who missed a well deserved World Cup 8 years before infront of Ponting & co. In fact this revenge was started in the soil where Indians were humiliated by Kangaroos. The defeat from Coachless Dhoni-led team in the Semi Final of 2007 t20 World Cup at Durban marked the decline of Australian Cricket, followed
