Ashwin the white-ball genius is underrated

More than anything, it is this delivery that would’ve pleased R Ashwin a lot during the second T20I against New Zealand. It was a normal off break with no tricks or mystery.

It wasn’t so common for Mitchell Marsh to accept that the outside noise is getting to him. Usually, cricketers wear a thick-skin persona, face the toughest of questions in the media with a straight face, respond to them with cliches and get on with their job. They build a sense of detachment and disapproval of […]

Move aside Tolkien, India pens better fantasy at The Gabba

“Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.” After the year […]
