India - Australia Test Records Statistical Highlights

By Admin
In Rahul Dravid’s Bradman Oration on December 14, the universally respected No. 3 batsman made a case for an India-Australia alliance, dating back to the Great Wars and even reflected in the bonhomie of an IPL dressing room. The resolute batsman, known to uphold the laws and spirit of the game, delighted in the fact that cricketing relations between the two nations had never been better. Against this backdrop, of  camaraderie, however, lies a rivalry as old as indepenent India itself. What started as a one-sided Test battle on Australian shores in 1947-’48, where India suffered a 4-0 whitewash, has evolved into an evenly-matched contest, that grips the cricketing world like little else. With the Boxing Day Test around the corner, we bring you all the statistical landmarks from the great India v Australia rivalry, at home and away.

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

By Admin

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’

By Admin

Propelled by Rohit Sharma’s magnificent double-century, India marched to a 153-run win in Kolkata. While Eden Gardens celebrated 150 years, Rohit lit-up the stadium with a well paced 264 off 173 to make the occasion memorable. In doing so, he etched his name in the history books by posting the highest individual score in ODI cricket and became the only batsman to post two double hundreds in the 50-over format till date. It was breathtaking knock by the opener that set-up the match for India. The hosts then bowled the visitors out for 251 to take a 4-0 lead in the series.  (Also Read:  Rohit Sharma 264 Runs - Stats: India vs Sri Lanka, 4th ODI ) Post by Indian Cricket Team Updates . Coming out to open with Ajinkya Rahane after India elected to bat, Rohit made the Sri Lankans regret the missed chance to send him back when he was batting on four. The opener taking the aerial route was dropped by Thisara Perera at third-man.  Having received a life, Rohit who was back in the

FULL HD HIGHLIGHTS INDIA v PAKISTAN 1ST ODI, CHENNAI, 30 DEC 2012. Man-of-the-Match: MS Dhoni  for his 113-run knock that helped India set up a competitive total Brief scores: India   227/6 in 50 overs  (MS Dhoni 113*, S Raina 43, R Ashwin 31*, J Khan 4/43) lost to  Pakistan 228/4 in 48.1 overs  (N Jamshed 101*, Y Khan 58, S Malik 34*, B Kumar 2/27) by six wickets   Nasir Jamshed:   "It was a tough start when we lost Hafeez off the first ball, but we played out the tough period and now we are confident in this series."
