4-0 whitewash of Australia: Chennai Super Kings ku whistle podu!

After India beat Australia comprehensively in the Delhi Test, the fireworks began in the heartland of Chennai with boisterous celebrations in the Chennai Super Kings camp. The mood was buoyant and leading the pack with a big smile was none other than the owner of the Chennai Super Kings, N Srinivasan himself.

Jadeja's efforts on Day 1 of the Chennai Test shows dropping of Ojha was a monumental blunder

If the first day of a Test is any indication, the Chennai wicket will support the spinners. But there’s no discounting the fact that with an additional yard of pace could also make reverse swing a proposition that could oscillate the match in favour of Australia

Contrasting styles should liven up the India versus Australia series

The much anticipated India-Australia series gets under way in the sub-continent with the first Test match being played in Chennai. The rivalry acquired a new meaning altogether after the epic 2001 battle at Eden Gardens, which will forever be talked about when India-Australia series are discussed.

Will Indias clout in the cricketing world wane in the wake of the retirement of its superstars

Will India's clout in the cricketing world wane in the wake of the retirement of its superstars

It's probably time to cut short the Infinitely Prolonged League (IPL)

We are halfway into the Indian Premier League (IPL) and people are already asking how much longer before the play-offs. For a tournament of its kind, the IPL has yawn-inducing schedules. It spans almost two months on the cricketing calendar; it takes an eternity before the play-offs are decided.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's master plan to cripple Cricket Australia!

By Dhananjay Devasper I could not understand this state of mind of a team which had humiliated their opponents to win all three Tests played thus far in the series. David Warner, who has donned the unofficial title of the team spokesperson, gave me a nod to signify "It’s really serious".
