Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
To make the team, you need to either have a high batting strike rate, or be economical/wicket-taking with the bowling. In the current form, or even in the previous season, he could do neither, so I don't think he deserves a spot in the national team. In the current form, he doesn't even deserve a sp...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Pandya again showed why it was a big mistake for MI to make him the captain, when they already had Rohit and SKY. He is not good enough right now to make an IPL XI let alone the national team. Now I don't think MI can salvage this season. Their best move may be to make SKY as the captain and "r...

Looks like a French meet banned Indian entry due to the high number of doping cases from India https://sportstar.thehindu.com/athletics/indian-athletes-banned-france-athletics-meeting-limoges-high-doping-cases-wada-report-fallout/article68045975.ece I hope other competitions follow suit, that's the ...

Re: Sports and Performance Enhancing Drugs (Doping)
Yay!! Finally we are #1
On a serious note, I think Sumariwalla should be sacked as the athletics federation head. Under his watch, things are becoming worse and he seems to be turning a blind eye to this.

Columbia is a good one. I wonder how we get stuck with these misspellings.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Well then why limit to just 1 sub? Why not allow unlimited subs? That would mean only specialists, maybe more like baseball.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
With both Abhishek and Parag in the lineup, who are both decent bowlers, you don't need 5 full time bowlers, so you can add another batsman in Rinku Singh.

Re: Paris Olympics 2024
The PRK lifter can't qualify l think based on minimum participation criteria and only 1 out of the 2 Chinese can participate, so it's not all that bad. But she will still have to lift a total of at least 200kg to have a medal chance I believe because the lifters from THA and USA are not far behind.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
Hardik Pandya acquisition seems to be another big mistake committed by MI top brass (following on steps of Jofra Archer acquisition). I think they should fire Jayawardene or whoever is making these calls.
GT won under Pandya not because of his captaincy, but because he got a really good team.

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
While Kohli once again did great while chasing, we have the batting to chase down most totals even without him. Almost all of our crucial losses have been while batting first. I would like to see how he does when batting first, that's where he needs to show he can step up the pace. Our bowling is no...

Re: Indian Premier League (IPL)
I think Samson only works for #3 spot. I would prefer him over Kohli or Gill at that position. I would have preferred Tilak Verma more since he gives the extra bowling option, however Tilak Verma was a disappointment today. I like to rate players based on the early IPL form rather than the whole len...

Re: Paris Olympics 2024
I would think we will find it hard to match or exceed previous Games performance. We seem to have regressed in wrestling, weightlifting and hockey, so we could end up with 3 less medals than last time. Only in shooting we seem to be doing better than last time, but we all know what finally ends up h...

Well if Shrivalli could defeat a 175 ranked player with the loss of only 3 games, then this win is not totally unexpected. It would just seem that she is on the way to being our next big thing (after Sania)

So the Chinese state machinery has become an expert in how to avoid getting caught, but the Russians are still not there?
