India is a good team, but not even close to wearing the tag of a "great" team

India is a good team, but not even close to wearing the tag of a "great" team

This India is not about winning and losing and letting the ranking take care of itself. It seems for this Indian team, managing the ranking is critical. Mahendra Singh Dhoni's press conference at the end of the Lord’s Test was as much an exercise in excuse mongering than anything else that I have ever heard. It did his standing little good.

ICC Champions Trophy 2013 Preview: Familiar rivals India and Sri Lanka battle for a place in the final

Two familiar rivals face-off as India and Sri Lanka clash in the second semi-final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 in Cardiff. Both sides have faced each other innumerable times in the last few years and familiarity breeds between them. However, will a game of bigger stature change things and add to the pressure? After all, they also played the 2011 World Cup final.

ICC Champions Trophy 2013: Shikhar Dhawan and Ravindra Jadeja are the stars; India doing well as a unit

A young Indian side landed in England for the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 with little or no pressure of expectations. Free from any inhibitions, they have performed exceedingly well to win all their games in the league phase and have made it through to the next round. While there have been a few stand-out performers, it has largely been a team performance. The fielding, in particular, has been electric and a team that was once the worst on the park looks fit, agile and quick.

A nation awaits the religious festival in Feb!

A nation awaits the religious festival in Feb!

Cricket, when played in India, assumes the form of a religious festival and it comes to me as no surprise if a similar situation arises this time. The fact that India will be one of the countries to host the World Cup, itself provides with an altogether different level of excitement and enthusiasm.
