Cricket: Rohit Sharma could be the man destined for the future

When Rohit Sharma burst on to the scenes, he was one of the players tipped to go the distance. Extremely talented with the bat and extremely graceful to look at when in full flow, Rohit Sharma oozed confidence and even the experts like Ian Chappell called him one for the future.

Cricket: Why should Yuvraj continue as captain?

It has been said that the Pune Warriors India will chuck their coach, Geoff Marsh from the side for the poor performance. That sounds like a plan but the bigger question is whether Yuvraj Singh, as the captain, managed to fulfil his responsibilities as the skipper?

Cricket: Why was Balaji given that last over?

I know that the Kolkata Knight Riders still have a chance to go through to the final and hence through to the Champions League T20 but if they lose to the Mumbai Indians on Wednesday, the one question that will be on everyone’s lips would be whether they made the right call in allowing Balaji to bowl that over.

Cricket: Gilchrist slams century, wins it for Punjab

It was one of the best innings this IPL and another century to boot. Adam Gilchrist overcame all his form issues and slammed one of the best IPL centuries, and gave back to Bangalore what they had given to his Punjab in the previous game.

Cricket: Chennai stung and stunned by Valthaty show

The Chennai Super Kings would be wondering what hit them. They had gone into the game against the Kings XI Punjab as favourites to win the match but were thumped badly by the one man who seems to be making a lot of news.

Cricket: Why India won the Cricket World Cup 2011?

Dhoni’s captaincy: Not too many captains have had such an ice-cool demeanour on the field as MS Dhoni. It stems from the fact that he can maintain his calmness under pressure and that means that the side has also been influenced by that in many ways.

Cricket: Title: Bye-bye Ponting! | Cricket247.in

Ricky Ponting has finally decided that he has had enough of the captaincy and resigned from it. interestingly, he also had this to say that no-one forced him out, he was going out on his own terms. Yes sir, we believe you as we have always done after you would feign ignorance about your on-field behaviur all the time.

Cricket: Dhoni needs to bat better

India will need their top order to fire in the semi-final between India and Pakistan. The one batsman who has not done yet is MS Dhoni, who hasn’t had a single half century to his name.

Cricket: West Indies can put pressure by batting first

Pakistan play West Indies in the Cricket World Cup Quarter-Final and it can be expected to be a mismatch. Or so one thinks. The issue is that in a knock out game like this, it will also be difficult for a top side to feel the pressure in the lead up.

Cricket: Think you can predict who will go through from Group B?

So here we are now in the Group B, with nothing to choose from. In fact, Ireland may miss out given that they not only need to win their game against South Africa but also maintain a good net run rate to hope for a qualification.
