  • Indian Premier League 2019
    VVS LAXMAN Published 3.4.19 The last ten days have reiterated just how significant a place the Indian Premier League has carved for itself on the cricke�ng landscape. Spectacular ac�on and stunning performances have brought the tournament to life right from the beginning, and I expect the next six weeks to be no less gripping. From our point of view, I am delighted at how well Hyderabad have bounced back from defeat in our opening match, against Kolkata. Even in that game, we were in control �ll the end of the 17th over of the chase, but Andre Russell took it away from us with brilliant ball-striking. Even though I was in the opposi�on dugout, I couldn’t help but marvel at how he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The beauty of our franchise is that the shoulders never droop, the heads never drop. There is too much experience, quality and class among the playing group for that to happen. As members of the support staff, our endeavour is to keep the players in a good mental space. But eventually, it is the players who have to deliver on the park, and that’s what they have done in the last two games. David Warner has been outstanding. There is li�le sign that he has been out of interna�onal cricket for a year. His work ethics are exemplary, and I can see the hunger and desire in his eyes. He is striking the ball as beau�fully as ever, and there is a calmness about him that is infec�ous.

  • Mid-Day Before Leaving for Bangalore
    _____________________________________________________________________- 25 th February, 2015 Ranji Trophy: Mumbai's Shardul Thakur aims to top bowling charts Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur, who is just four wickets away from topping the bowling charts for the Ranji Trophy season, believes today's semi-final clash against Karnataka is the perfect opportunity to fulfill his dream Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur had a couple of goals when he started the domestic season. First was to iron out the inconsistency factor and the second was to top the bowling charts in Ranji Trophy. Mumbai pacer Shardul Thakur The 23-year-old knew if he can be consistent, the wickets would follow. It certainly did. After six five-wicket hauls in nine matches, Thakur is now staring at fulfilling his second goal of the season — that is to be the highest wicket-taker in the Ranji Trophy this season. At the moment D Siva Kumar tops the wicket-takers list with 44 under his belt. But with Andhra failing to make the semis, Thakur (40 wickets) is the favourite to take the top spot. Maharashtra's Samad Fallah (37 wickets) and Karnataka's S Aravind (35 wickets) are the only potential contenders challenging Thakur. Thakur is eyeing today's semi-final clash against Karnataka in Bangalore as an ideal platform to claim the No 1 spot. "After our quarter-final victory (where Thakur claimed eight wickets in the match against Delhi), one of my teammates told me that I am now just four wickets away from becoming the highest wicket-taker of the season. "It was one of my goals to be the top bowler and I am really excited to accomplish that goal in this match.

  • GAUTAM GAMBHIR Published 28.5.19 a Friend Was Determined To
    GAUTAM GAMBHIR Published 28.5.19 A friend was determined to watch the London Olympics. He saved for a year to be there and savour the mother of all spor�ng ac�ons, the Olympics. We all know the ac�on and the layered drama that sports produce but he speaks about a completely different aspect about those Olympics. A�er having spent more than 20 years of his life watching cricket in India, he swears by the organisa�onal ability of England to host an event of that magnitude. He claims that even in these �mes of terror a�acks and hyper-security measures, London never seemed ruffled. It was always polite and seemingly laidback. My buddy is now off to the UK again to watch the Cricket World Cup. Since the Summer Olympics of 2012, a school in Peshawar has been a�acked, so has the Manchester Arena and lately even a mosque in New Zealand. It is clear. The perpetrators want to widen their strike zones to increase the fear. Hence as I write this preview to this mega cricke�ng event, I want to share that safety of all concerned is paramount for me. Afghanistan, the babies of the cricke�ng world, would know what I mean. For them, cricket provides iden�ty, it gives them a purpose and above all it gives them pride. They will certainly not win this one but their mere presence gives hope to our region. I will be checking their progress very closely. I am not sure if Madame Tussauds, London has a statue of ViratKohli.
