Shrivalli finally succumbed to the top seed in the singles final, but what a week this has otherwise been for her! Doubles title and singles runner-up is a huge achievement. Well done!

Re: ITF M25/M15 New Delhi, Chandigarh - Mar 2024
For Chandigarh, last week's Delhi doubles champion pair (Vishnu Vardhan/Sid Banthia) has broken up. Vishnu is seeded second, partnering Manish Sureshkumar (who was part of the runner-up pair last week), and SidB is partnering Karan Singh. In singles, Ramkumar took one of the wildcards, and is seeded...

Re: Yuki Bhambri
Yuki is in Miami. Perhaps he has a wildcard due to his former IMG connection? Nope, got in with Michael Venus whose regular partner Jamie Murray made a late withdrawal. So, Yuki making his madtees series debut in Miami. He is making his Masters series DOUBLES debut at Miami. He has of course played...

Miami Masters 2024
Bopanna/Ebden are at the top of the entry list for the doubles at the Miami Masters this week, and Yuki Bhambri/Michael Venus are also in the doubles draw. (Venus/Jamie Murray had withdrawn, but Venus was able to "re-pair" with Yuki). Sumit is into Q2 of the men's singles, after this: [Q1]...

Re: ITF M25/M15 New Delhi, Chandigarh - Mar 2024
Ramkumar now at 351 in the live singles rankings. I was at the DLTA courts for the final, and he absolutely demolished Karan Singh, although the latter made it a lot easier by missing 90% of the shots at the net (I know that is probably not the stat, but that's what it looked like!). Overheads, voll...

Re: England in India 2024-25 : The Pataudi Trophy
On a different topic, it is really irritating that the term "chinaman" to describe Kuldeep Yadav's stock ball is no longer usable for some political-correctness reasons. The Chinese should be flattered that there is a term in cricket that comes from a cricketer of Chinese origin inventing ...

Re: England in India 2024-25 : The Pataudi Trophy
SaniaFan, Pant has to show that he has overcome his injury. It cannot be assumed, given the life-threatening accident he had, that he can automatically return to being the batsman or 'keeper he was before the injury. This is true of any sportsperson returning from injury, but particularly for Pant, ...

Re: England in India 2024-25 : The Pataudi Trophy
If all the Indian players were available (i.e., excluding Pant, whose fitness and form cannot be automatically assumed after his grievous injury), what would the XI look like now? Kohli and Shami come in automatically for tests (home or away), so for home tests (against NZ and Bangladesh for instanc...

Re: England in India 2024-25 : The Pataudi Trophy
Gavaskar, Sehwag, Dravid, Tendulkar, Kohli, Pant, Jadeja, Kapil, Ashwin, Shami, Bumrah. Of the first four, whom would you kick out and with whom? Last 15 years, we have 6 in my team. Third spinner: Kumble replaces Shami in India. I'd take Kapil's batting and fielding. I agree with the team. Yashasw...

Re: England in India 2024-25 : The Pataudi Trophy
There really is no question about this. Padikkal should have replaced Patidar even for the last test. That he finally did replace him here was fortuitous, and we've got a much better batsman coming in, who also happens to be much younger. Patidar's test career has proven to be short, much as Suryaku...

Re: England in India 2024-25 : The Pataudi Trophy
Superb innings this morning from Rohit and (especially) Gill. We got the better weather -- it was sunny (so much so that there was a glorious view of the snow-capped, actually snow-filled, Dhauladhar peaks) this morning, while it had been somewhat cloudy yesterday (and hence more conducive to swing)...

Re: England in India 2024-25 : The Pataudi Trophy
I don't understand why few people are unhappy with Patidar being dropped. Does anyone really think he would have scored any runs? Would you rather have just 10 players in the team? Does same thing was thought about Bharat ? If yes then why 7 test for Bharat & only 3 for Patidar Because Bharat's...

Nice to see Yuki/Robin finally gelling and on a small winning streak (4 matches in Dubai). Can we hope for a Yuki vs Rohan final here?
