Yet another failure - Royal Challengers Bengaluru

“ Ee Sala cup Namde! ” meaning “ This time cup is ours ” - This was the slogan that every RCB fan had used right at the start of Indian Premier League 2018 - The eleventh edition of the most coveted and lucrative T20 league in the modern era. Little did they know that the same slogan would be used by the rival fans, but only to troll them! Since the start of IPL in 2008, RCB is one team that has always looked good on paper but put up sub-par performances on the field. Out of 5 captains that RCB has had over the years, only Anil Kumble and Virat Kohli have a better win percentage, a little over 50% even after leading the side for a minimum of two seasons. The RCB management also doesn't seem to be so much interested as to find out why the team keeps losing even after having the best-in-world kind of players and best-in-class support staffs. Cutting a sorry figure - Royal Challengers Bengaluru A deep dive into the know-how as to why RCB keeps losing games season afte

Sunrisers Hyderabad - The team that Never gave up !

Had you watched the climax of the movie "REAL STEEL" in which Hugh Jackman was portrayed as Charlie Kenton, you may remember this. During the last fight, Atom vs Zeus, the commentator, on seeing the ability of Atom, the robot's ability to get back on its feet repeatedly after being beaten black and blue would say this - "Kenton must've hardwired this robot with the will to go on". Now I quote this as a reference to the performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad this season. The last couple of games that the Sunrisers Hyderabad had played over the last week have made the fans sit up and notice in awe! The reason, not their humongous hitting but their breathtaking bowling and the nerves of steel that these men possess! For the uninitiated, Sunrisers Hyderabad never really had a good start to their IPL campaign. Losing their Captain, Star Player and probably the Most Valuable Player of their line up - David Warner to the ugly ball tampering Sandpaper Saga. With th

Mahi and Yuvi : The Road ahead for the Finishers

IPL 2017 so far has proved to be nothing but a dream come true for many young cricketers in the domestic circuit. To start of with a few, the likes of Nitish Rana, Pandya brothers and Rishabh Pant have made stellar performances. Some of them match winning too. When I used to play the IPL Fantasy league in 2016, I would struggle to put in one uncapped player (Not represented India in any format so far) in my team to balance the squad, whereas the scenario right now, its upside down. I've become an underdog lover with more than 3 uncapped players on any given day. The other thing that this tournament does, on a bad note is to end a few senior players careers in the T20 and ODI formats. Exactly for that matter, this tournament and the youngster fraternity has not been kind for two veteran finishers of the modern day game - Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh. Their present performances suggest they're a pale shadow of what once they were. Mahendra Singh Dhoni Dhoni
