Bundled out for a paltry 112, the end was […]

Everytime I talk about the success of the Rajasthan Royals, people ask me : “Who owns them?” This post is for the most subdued owner in the Indian Premier League.

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 […]
