Dhoni! Dhoni!! And Dhoni!!!

No name comes in this match (3rd ODI, 31st October 2005). Neither Sachin nor Sehvag nor Dravid its only Dhoni. Dho Dala.

Sri Lanka after winning the toss made 298 for 4 in their alloted 50 overs. Thanks to fine innings by Kumar Sangakkara (138*), and Jaywardhane (71). They have started nicely while bowling also, Vaas shows the way of pavilion to Sachin in the very first over. Then comes the MOM Mahendre Singh Dhoni. He has changed all the calculation of Sri Lanka. Gr8 Show 183 Not Out. India is now 3-0 up in series. India won the match by 6 Wicket with 3.5 overs to spare.

One more brilliant show by Pathan and Sachin!!!

Again the same two devastating man!! One with ball and other with bat!!

One man is Irfan Pathan, other one is Sachin Tendulkar. Seeing Pathan’s bowling is like seeing some thing which is too close to the heart.

Irfan Pathan produced a devastating spell of seam bowling as an inspired India showed little mercy to ruthlessly destroy Sri Lanka with an eight wicket victory in the second cricket ODI in Mohali on Friday 28th October. The young Pathan captured four early wickets to help skittle out the visitors for a paltry 122, thanks to J. P. Yadav for his brilliant bowling also, before Sachin Tendulkar took the centre stage with a magnificent display of stroke play to quickly overhaul the target with 29.4 overs to spare and give the hosts a 2-0 lead in the seven-match series.

Mean while selectors do not selected our favorite DADA, it is quite indicative that he needs to improve a lot. But we are still waiting for his come back. Good Luck DADA.

Fabulous performance by Irfan Pathan, and great show by Sachin and Dravid!!

In fact Pathan has shown the way to the team India, and Sachin and Dravid has shown the path for the victory. What a inning by these three. Team India has outperformed Sri Lanka in all the department of the game. What a way to shine - Team India.

Batting first Indian team made 350 runs, thanks to some fabulous shot by Dhoni, while Sri Lanka is all out on a mere score of 198. First ODI has given the Team India the dose for the success.

What a come back by Sachin, this is what makes him different from other legends of world cricket.

Fate of the Sri Lankan team and Sourav Ganguly !!!

Sri Lanka's narrow defeat at the hands of President's XI in the warm-up tie has exposed chinks in their armour. Although the responsible people are saying not to take too much from this. It's a golden chance to let team india shine.

Sourav Ganguly, the greetest south paw betsman of Indian cricket history, what has happens to you. Sourav Ganguly has once himself said he must be the most hated captain in the history of indian cricket. Some days ago some people has started a site named as ihateganguly. This is completely bad thing to Indian cricket. Experts feel he is not a good captain, Indian fans do not like his harsh nature and everyone agrees he is rude, arrogant and overconfident. Greg Chappell of course feels Sourav is "mentally and physically unfit to lead India" but Ganguly refuses to change, he refuses to fade. So what makes him tick? Why do so many people hate him despite a brilliant captaincy record. Also in my view he is one of the greatest batsman I have ever seen. Ganguly please come back at least I am with you!!
