Kings XI Punjab continue to shock the heavyweights of IPL-5

Royal Challengers Bangalore were to take on Kings XI Punjab in 44th match of IPL-5 at their home ground.Bangalore with only four wins needed to put up a good performance to take momentum for the latter half of the tournament.Bangalore have some great players in the team who can win matches for their team alone but somehow the team has not gelled together therefore they find themselves in not such a good position.

Kings XI Punjab on the contrary have been amazing as they have won two matches in their last three defeating the two heavyweights Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.Therefore no one can write them off now with such results coming through from them.Punjab was hoping to give a shock to Bangalore at their home ground.

Hotels serve a cricket treat, bring IPL on big screen


If you thought that the next best option of watching an IPL match live, other than on your TV set, was to go to the stadium, you stand to be surprised. Considering the popularity of this ‘fast’ version of cricket matches, some hotels in the city have come up with the novel idea of installing big screens at their pubs and bars and screen the matches for their patrons.

The guests, in addition to feasting their eyes on the matches on these huge screens, can also relish the packages that the hotels offer at the beverages counters to lure more guests.

17-year old smashes highest individual score of 451 in inter-state game

Close on the heels of Virender Sehwag's world-record innings of 219 against the West Indies in the fourth one-day international match against West Indies, another youth 17-year old batting sensation Vijay Zol scripted history at the Anant Kanhere Maidan in Nashik (Maharashtra) as he smashed record-breaking knock of unbeaten 451 in the inter-state game. 

This unbeaten record-breaking score by 17-year old came during the under-19 Cooch Behar trophy match between Maharashtra and Assam. He also broke the 11-year old record of Yuvraj Singh's innings of 358 runs in the same category. 

Speaking about his innings, he said that when I went out to bat I had nothing in mind and just wanted to concentrate on every ball and play on its merit. He said that approaching the innings in this manner helped him to concentrate hard and play long innings. As the match got underway on Thursday morning with Assam winning the toss surprisingly asked Maharashtra to take first use of the wicket. The wicket was a batting paradise and made it very easy for batsmen to score runs.

Earlier Tendulkar had held the record after he scored exactly 200 two years back against South Africa at Gwalior also in Madhya Pradesh. After Tendukar, Charles Coventry of Zimbabwe and Saeed Anwar of Pakistan with scores of 194 against Bangladesh and India respectively are the third highest run-getters in the one-day version of the game.

Tiger-Sharmila: The prince and his showgirl


Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi's death Thursday brought to an end an enduring romance. When Sharmila Tagore tied the knot with the erstwhile royal 42 years ago, it was not only a marriage of cricket and cinema, but also one that broke many stereotypes.

He was a Nawab from a well-known Muslim family and she was a Hindu who belonged to the illustrious Tagore family. As she was to admit many times in later years, Pataudi, popularly known as Tiger, proved to be an exceptionally liberal companion.Be it her wearing a bikini in 'An Evening In Paris' in 1967, when they were courting, or taking up glamorous roles after marriage in 1969 and later motherhood - he always stood by her, always the ideal partner.

'Sai Ratna' award for Sachin Tendulkar

Cricket is a popular game which is famous around the world. I have lots of Cricket World Cup 2011 images in my cell phone. People are very crazy for this game. World cup is a great event for all cricket lovers who wait for it madly. Indian team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni told in an interview that Sachin Tendulkar deserves a Bharat Ratna Award. According to him, no other player deserves this great honor. He is playing from twenty one years and he has all the qualities which one good player should have. Sachin is the only player who has made successful double century in one day international match. He is also the leading run scorer in test cricket. Sachin Tendulkar is the 1st player who has made 50 centuries in international cricket matches. He has also got Arjuna Award, Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna, Padma Vibhushan and Padma Shri. I think it’s a good decision by Indian cricket team.

Sports Minister Ajay Maken  said that his ministry would ask the Home Ministry to include sports in the criteria for Bharat Ratna, after calls for bestowing Sachin Tendulkar with the coveted award got louder following India’s World Cup triumph.
“Bharat Ratna is given only to those who have done eminent work in the field of art, literature, social service, science and technology but sports is not included in it.
“And now that we want India to do well in Olympics and other international events, the sportspersons must also be considered for this honour. And if any sportsperson gets Bharat Ratna it would be a matter of pride for all the Indians. We will take up this issue with the Home Ministry,” he said.
However, the government has already stated that bestowing ’Bharat Ratna’ to sportspersons would require tweaking of criteria that has been laid down for the country’s highest civilian honour.
The ‘Bharat Ratna’ was started in 1954 and has so far been given to 41 eminent personalities, none of whom are sportspersons, the reason being the criteria for the coveted honour.

ICC CONFIRMS 2015 AND 2019 WCS WILL BE 10-TEAM AFFAIRS


The ICC Executive Board  confirmed that the next two World Cups will be 10-team events and also announced that teams will be relegated and promoted on the basis of performance in the ODI league after the 2019 World Cup in England.

The Board had decided in October 2010 to reduce the number of participating teams in the flagship event of the game, which means that small nations, mostly Associate members will not get the chance to play at the big stage. The 2015 tournament will be held in Australia and New Zealand.

"The Board agreed that the 2015 World Cup will comprise the existing 10 Full Members, however, they gave notice to all Full Members that participation in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup will be determined on the basis of qualification," an ICC statement said.

INDIANS NOT AS LARGE HEARTED AS PAKISTANIS: AFRIDI

Days after winning the hearts of numerous Indian fans with his remarks after his team`s loss in the World Cup semi-final, Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi has said Indians are not as large-hearted as Pakistanis.

Afridi also slammed the Indian media for its "very negative approach" and said the Pakistani media was a "hundred times better" than its Indian counterpart. "In my opinion, if I have to tell the truth, they (Indians) will never have hearts like Muslims and Pakistanis. I don’t think they have the large and clean hearts that Allah has given us," Afridi said during a talk show on a news channel when he was asked about relations between the two countries.

"It is a very difficult thing for us to live with them (Indians) or to have long-term relationship with them. Nothing will come out of talks. See how many times in the past 60 years we have had friendship and then how many times things have gone bad," he said as the audience in the TV channel`s studio applauded him repeatedly. "We don`t want to fight with each other but a third country everyone knows which one it is is trying to spoil our relations. (This country) is taking advantage of Pakistan and wants to take advantage of India. I don`t want to go into details but these people will not let us come together," he added.

Asked about the Indian media`s coverage of the Pakistani team during the semi-final with India at Mohali on March 30, Afridi replied: "The Indian media has a very negative approach and very negative thoughts. The people may not be like that but I think the media had a very dirty role in spoiling relations between us and India.” "Our media, which is criticised by people, is hundred times better than theirs," he said. India beat Pakistan in the semi-final, which was watched by the Prime Ministers of the two countries, who used cricket diplomacy to boost the peace process between the two sides.

Afridi also criticised Interior Minister Rehman Malik for warning the Pakistani team not to get involved in match-fixing and Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir, who vowed to dedicate victory in the World Cup final to victims of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. "I think they were both very stupid comments by Rehman Malik and Gautam Gambhir...I wasn`t expecting this from Gautam...This is all politics, what do you know about who carried out the Bombay attacks?" he said. The Mumbai attacks, which left 166 people dead, were carried out by Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba.
