Melbourne: Without a win across four Tests and the first T20I, India were able to right their wrongs, to an extent, with a convincing eight-wicket win over the Australia at the MCG in the second Twenty20 on Friday. Gautam Gambhir struck a fine unbeaten 56 to help India register their first win on the tour. Chasing 132 to win, India reached 135 for two in 19.4 overs, with Gambhir and MS Dhoni (21 not-out) in the middle. Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni congratulate each other [...]
Indian vice-captain and opener Virender Sehwag last night claimed that suggestions of infighting among Indian players were rubbish and rejected reports of a rift between him and captain M.S. Dhoni. “When teams start losing, then these kind of things come, but there is nothing true in that. We are playing as a team and we are fine,” he said. Sehwag felt compelled to respond to these allegations when contacted by The Age. He added: “I can’t talk about anything else because there are rules, but [...]
First time, there is a direct attack on Sachin Tendulkar by Australian media. Although, Sachin showed some very good signs of his form coming back still he was criticized directly. The two words ‘Master Blasted’ were used by Australian leading newspapers after the India’s loss to Australia in MCG Test. It has never happened earlier when Sachin was attacked like this. Moreover, he looked the best batsman from Indian side in the last test match. This seems to be the clever tactic to disrupt Sachin’s [...]

In a country where cricketers rake in big bucks, footballers are reduced to sweeper-like jobs just to buy themselves a pair of football boots. Although Football is known as a beautiful game which is hailed world over, but it certainly has an ugly side to it as well. That ugly side was apparent in Indore where a group of budding state level players were forced to work as cleaners to make ends meet. These footballers get paid Rs.2.75 for every seat cleaned. They have taken up [...]
One of the greatest batsmen Sachin Tendulkar can be seen here going to the ground for playing the first international match of his life. Md. Azharrudin seems to be inspiring him. Who knew that the same little cute kid would become one of the greatest of all time.

The passing stayed impressive and the home side penetrated the rival defence on a number of occasions [...]
