Suresh Raina, once charmed Indian batsman who was well acquainted in terms of support in the National cricket team is now away from the Bleed Blue Squad since a long time. The last match Raina has appeared has taken place during the January of 2015, which altogether makes it 2 years. Fans throughout the country are quite eager to notice the comeback of the hitman, but, time isn’t going too well with him. Amidst all this, Raina is now playing in the respective Ranji matches, and the left-handed batsman’s poor run of form has continued as he got out for a duck during the ongoing Ranji Trophy match against Karnataka. As of now, Raina has only managed to score a mere 99 runs in 4 games and another duck has made his chance even worse to make it back to the Indian Team. The left-handed batsman who is always the Captain of the Team decided to promote himself on a good batting wicket after a great opening stand between the openers Umang Sharma and Shivam Chaudhary. On a simple note, Raina’s wi...

Right from the inception of social media has come into power, people use it as a strong medium or tool to voice their opinions. Not only common people, even politicians, celebrities are active on few micro-blogging sites. While some choose these platforms only to stick to promoting something and posting their photos, others take it a serious place to express their views regarding social issues We all know that former Indian opener Virender Sehwag and veteran Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh are the most popular and active people on Twitter. But former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly isn’t the most active person on social media. But what’s surprising is he took to Twitter to comment on a picture posted by Harbhajan Singh, featuring his wife and daughter. Though, Ganguly didn’t know he would go on to commit a gaffe. Harbhajan, along with his wife Geeta Basra and daughter Hinaya Heer Plaha paid a visit to the Golden Temple, Amritsar. Bhajji, later, uploaded a picture from the visit on his T...

For every sportsperson in the world, fitness is one of the major and important factors that helps them perform 100 percent in their play. As the days pass and technology mounting, the fitness levels of a sportsperson is also enhancing. With fitness levels at an all-time high in cricket, the margins for bettering one another is getting narrower by the day. Ahead of the Ashes Series between England and Australia, Australian cricketers have gained a massive upper hand by enlisting the help of Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt to boost their running between the wickets during the Ashes series against England. We all know Usain Bolt retired from competitive sprinting recently and soon he got a job to do with Australian cricketers. The Jamaican track superstar, the world record holder in the 100m and 200m and eight-time Olympic champion, is working with the Australian batsmen to improve their “explosiveness” off the mark. Usain Bolt passed on tips to the Aussie batsmen on improving their running ...

In the first Test match between India and Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, the hosts were halted at a meager first-innings score of 172, in reply to which the Lankans had scored 294 runs by the end of their innings, gaining a healthy lead of 122 runs. However, one particular incident attracted a lot of attention. However, some splendid bowling by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami and a fine second-innings hundred skipper Virat Kohli pushed Sri Lanka on the back foot. The visitors, who had dominated the first half of the Test, were soon four down and battling to stave off defeat in their chase of 231. India fought back valiantly after their collapse on the first day. Bhuvneshwar had taken a wicket either side of tea while Shami and Umesh Yadav bowled fiery spells to rock the Islanders. India was pushing hard for victory in on the final day of the Kolkata Test against Sri Lanka but the hosts were put off by Niroshan Dickwella’s time-wasting tactics. Things took a bitter turn when Dickwella ...

At the end, the match ended in a draw as the umpires deemed the light to be poor and the play was stopped. However, one moment grabbed the eyeballs of the crowd in the stadium and the viewers. It was the celebration of the Indian skipper Virat Kohli on his 50th International century. From easy and cautious innings, he made it a dash and completed a stunning hundred. Kohli got to his 18th Test h...

In the first Test match between India and Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, the hosts were halted at a meager first-innings score of 172, in reply to which the Lankans had scored 294 runs by the end of their innings, gaining a healthy lead of 122 runs. However, one particular incident attracted a lot of attention. The Eden Garden’s Test has been startling right from the start. While Suranga Lakmal stunned the Indian fanatics by scalping three wickets giving no runs on the first day, the Lankan skipper Dinesh Chandimal flabbergasted all on the third day by escaping a penalty for ‘fake fielding.’ The latest addition to the eventful Test is Dilruwan Perera’s ‘brain fade’ moment just the Australian skipper Steve Smith had earlier this year, in deciding whether to take a DRS call or not. The incident took place during the 57th over of the Sri Lankan innings. Mohammad Shami was the bowler and he trapped Dilruwan Perera in front of the wicket which resulted in an appeal from the Indian and the on...

The debate of Indian National Anthem is pretty intense these days. The debate has become one of the biggest issues in the country. Amid wrong currents, this time it is Indian cricket team skipper Virat Kohli who was involved in this controversy. Virat Kohli has always been vocal about his patriotism and has always taken immense pride in representing the nation. Virat is a stalwart batsman, unarguably the best in the game and has a sprawling fan base. But what happened today at Eden Gardens before the commencement of the first Test match between India and Sri Lanka might fetch him some heavy duty criticism. At the pre-match National Anthem ceremony, the Indian skipper was spotted chewing a gum as the National Anthem was being sung. This seems to be a big blunder for his fans to cover up as this time it is about the National Anthem.

Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni, the players who earned more honors, or garnered more laurels for Indian team has been playing for Team India for 12 years. Started off with the world cup in T20 Internationals, he led India in winning several other crucial trophies all the way which was usually unexpected and never earned before. Once again after a while, the discussion on Dhoni’s retirement has come out. Following the second India vs. New Zealand Twenty20 in Rajkot, Dhoni had come under the scanner with the likes of VVS Laxman and Ajit Agarkar asking him to make way for the youngsters. He was criticized and trolled by many for playing slow innings when the team had to score more than 12 an over. In Dhoni’s defense, skipper Virat Kohli has made a strong argument saying that “people need to be a bit more patient”. Dhoni also got the backing of coach Ravi Shastri. But all these while, the Ranchi man has been keeping a dignified silence. While people have defended the former Indian captain ...

Irrespective of the authenticated news from the players or the board, these days, it has become a habit to write whatever it is and all this is done just to grab the attention of the audience on the social media or mainstream news. And, starting with the personal life aspects, to the cricketing life, people leave no stone unturned in messing up with the careers of the cricketers. These days, Virat Kohli, Team India’s skipper has become an epitome of sensation on the news, be it his style of hitting, or the style, Kohli remains in limelight for various reasons. The recent speculations regarding his absence in the Sri Lankan series are now going viral. Certain sources somehow wrote that Kohli might rest for the following matches, despite the valid news from the board, these rumors were widespread, and when asked about this, just ahead of the series with Sri Lanka, Kohli was all on fumes, he literally lost his cool with the media people, and went giving befitting answers. With the reply f...

We all love to have a sneak-peek into our favorite celebrities’ personal lives. Be it, cricketers or actors, everybody has their unseen side, and thanks to social media for bridging that gap between the fans and their favorites. Audiences are always curious to know what’s happening off the screen. Former TeamIndia’s captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one among those of who is most searched on the Internet. For both his cricketing statistics and off the field achievements Dhoni is considered as the much-loved cricketer just the way Sachin Tendulkar was. Soon after the pictures of him sleeping on the pitch has gone viral on the Internet, a video clip of Dhoni hiding in a towel in the flight faced the same fate. In the video shared by his wife Sakshi Singh, we can see Dhoni covering his face with a blue towel. Though now standard reason is known, it is pretty clear that Dhoni is hiding so that he cannot be seen by the fans on the flight. Watch the video here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bbb1...

The game of cricket has changed over the years. It first evolved into Tests and later One Day Internationals. And now, it is the shortest and the most famous format of the game and it is Twenty20. There is the talk of 10-over cricket too. You might have seen many weird dismissals so far. Many of them have caught our eye but don’t worry about the ones you missed because there’s Indian veteran all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. He recently took to Instagram to bring the most bizarre dismissal ever to light. The left-hander, who is struggling to make a comeback in the Indian team, posted a strange video in which a batsman was given out by the umpire despite leaving the ball safely into the wicketkeeper’s gloves. No one appealed, the ball didn’t hit the wickets nor it touched his pads. The decision left the majority confused. We hope there are much more such dismissals he would share in time to come. Just like Yuvraj, even his followers were left puzzled after watching the video. Watch The Video He...

We Indian captain, Virat Kohli is one of the fittest cricketers in the world. In the last couple of years, he had inspired many young Indian cricketers to work hard on their fitness in order to be able to play all the three formats of the game consistently. Keeping in sync with Virat Kohli’s uncompromising training regimen, the Indian cricketers are now undergoing DNA test that reveals the genetic fitness blueprint of an individual, raising the bar to a level hitherto unseen. Recently, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made Yo-Yo fitness test mandatory for selection and veteran cricketers like Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina suffered because of their lack of fitness. The test helps a sportsman improve his speed, in fat burning, endurance, recovery time, and muscle building. It has been learned that the BCCI has introduced this test on the recommendation of team trainer Shankar Basu so that a more comprehensive fitness program for the national team can be chalked out. The D...

Respect is mutual, and when it comes to any sport, especially cricket, it is all that matters to restrict the conflicts. Well, from the very beginning, we very well know the ethics of Australian Cricket team. The things about sledging and bad-conduct morale, they are one of the most hated for some reason. It seems that the thick flair of violence is nowhere about to end between India and Australia. It has been a while that the Australian journalist Dennis Freedman has taken a sly dig at the Kohli-led TeamIndia’s picture of sweeping grounds referring to the ongoing Swachh Bharat Mission. This journo commented, “Imagine celebrating putting rubbish in the bin like it’s an achievement”, to this, he directly tagged the latest BCCI video featuring Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, coach Ravi Shastri and two other players. Now, again, after a while, he tried to mock at Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. The journalist reminded everyone yet again of his kid- like attitude and under-developed brain by ...

Sri Lankan cricketers so far had a bad journey in 2017 as they failed to win the matches against team India and South Africa, in fact, they lost the 3 series against each team without winning a single game. After the defeats in the home country and also in visiting country Proteas, the Lions are going to face the No.1 Test team, India. Followed by winning Test series against Pakistan 2-0 in UAE, Sri Lankan cricket team is currently touring India for the upcoming Test series.

Breaking the assumed limitations, Bangladesh has finally done it, in-spite of being called as the not-much-fancied team, somehow, the test team led-by Shakib Ul Hassan has re-written the history by clinching the very first victory in their Cricket history against the mighty Australian team. With an admirable 20 runs gap, Bangladeshi players made this feat of beating Aussies for the very first time in History.  Starting with the easy-win of New Zealand over England this victory of Bangladesh is just another one in last two days. From past few years, Australia hasn't played at all against Bangladesh in the longest format, the series was expected to be closely fought as the hosts are no more minnows and especially on their home turf. But very few expected them to win against the mighty Aussies who were confident of doing well after a decent India series. Coming to the match, the Bangladesh players have begun the match slapping the rivals with a staggering score next to which they bowl...

What once has happened is always expected to happen, that’s the orthodox way of believing in the positive outputs. The similar situation occurred with the team Delhi Daredevils when the team had their hopes on the young batting sensation Rishabh Pant during the yesterday’s match against Gujarat Lions. DD camp was already down and out in the tournament but had their pride at stake when they took on the Lions. The target of 196 was given and it already appeared daunting to the team. Right from the very beginning, the team made it up that good batting is must to clinch the game. This time, at Kanpur, the team took confidence from the way they had previously played against the very same opposition a few matches ago in the season. They had 208 to overhaul back then in Delhi. Some stunning batting display from Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson had seen their side race past the target. How can someone forget the good 143 runs backed by the young duo back then. The team kept expecting good results...

The BCCI shared pictures on their Twitter handle where Rohit Sharma, Cheteshwar Pujara, Shikhar Dhawan, Hardik Pandya and Umesh Yada...

In a thrilling Natwest T20 Blast match, Yorkshire got the better of Worcestershire at Leeds to maintain their number one spot in the group. David Willey smashed 118 off 55 balls which included 9 fours and 8 sixes. Willey slammed the bowlers like a boss all over the park. At the opposite side, John Hastings went for 58 runs in just 2 overs. But it’s Ross Whiteley who stole the thunder from David Willey by hitting six sixes. The 28-year-old created history as he smashed six sixes off left-arm spinner Karl Carver, but despite the heroics, they were still far away from the target as they needed 60 from 4 overs. Ross Whiteley becomes the sixth man to hit achieve the feat in world cricket, after Sir Garry Sobers, Ravi Shastri, Herschelle Gibbs, Yuvraj Singh and Lancashire’s Jordan Clark. Willey’s 55-ball assault had broken quite a few records as Yorkshire reached county-best 233/6 in their 20 overs. Worcestershire’s Whiteley later hit left-arm spinner Karl Carver over the ropes six times in ...
