Mumbai Indians - Snatching Defeat from Victory

Kings XI Punjab vs Mumbai Indians - 21st May 2008Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Robin Uthappa used to be one of my favorite cricketers. Used to be, that is! But when you run out Sachin Tendulkar, and that too in a situation when he was single handedly going to win the game for your team, well, the […]

Kolkata Knight Riders Embarrassed by Mumbai Indians

If you lock yourself in a room alone and ask yourself yourself about a score you would be embarrassed about in a T20 innings. I bet it would be higher than 67. Even the Knight Riders thought so.

England vs New Zealand - First Test at Lords - Day 1

Sanath Jayasuriya brutally crushes Chennai

Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Superkings - 14th May 2008 - Mumbai

We had earlier reported that Sachin Tendulkar would play this match. Well, of course he played and led the Indians well. His captaincy was un-Tendulkarish, refreshing and nice to analyze. But he is not everyone who has watched this match would talk about. Limelight […]
