Irani Cup 2012-13: Statistical and Records

By Admin
Ranji Trophy 2012-13 Winner Mumbai
Ranji Trophy winners Mumbai will take on Rest Of India in the Irani Cup starting tomorrow at the Wankhede Stadium. 
This season marks the first time that this prestigious cup will be contested over twice in a matter of five months – ROI played last year’s Ranji champions, Rajasthan, in the early part of the 2012-13 season. The reason why this game has been held twice this season is because of the order of domestic events being shuffled recently.
This year, Ranji powerhouse, Mumbai will gun for their 15th Irani Cup – out of all the Ranji champs, they have won the coveted trophy the most number of times. Here are these and many more interesting statistics pertaining to the Irani Cup:
- This is the 51st edition of the Irani Cup (52nd scheduled edition if we take in account the 1979-80 game between Rest of India and Delhi at Jalandhar that was abandoned without the toss).
- Out of the previous 50 editions of Irani Cup, Rest Of India have won the trophy on 24 occasions, while Ranji champions have won on 25 times. The title was shared in 1965-66 as the first innings could not be completed.
- Among the Ranji champions, Bombay/Mumbai have won the title on most occasions (14), followed by Karnataka (4), Delhi and Railways (2 each). Hyderabad, Tamil Nadu and Haryana (once each) are the other teams to have laid their hands on the trophy.
- This is the first time that the Irani Cup is being held twice in the same season. In September last year 2011-12 Ranji winners Rajasthan took on Rest Of India at Bangalore. ROI won the match by an innings and 79 runs back then. Within five months another edition of Irani Cup is being held. This is because recently the order of various domestic events was shuffled. Henceforth Irani Cup will be played at the end of the season and not at the beginning.

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’

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." Misbah-ul-Haq:  "It was really good toss to win and the spell by Junaid Khan was very good. He has done it before in a Test match in Sri Lanka. Good to see that the bowlers pitched in the right areas in helping conditions. There was a change in the nature of the pitch. It was more difficult to play in the first half, very well played by Dhoni. But Nasir played an extremely good knock and showed the way by finishing the game. Humidity
