Indian's dominance in ICC champions trophy over the chattery neigbours

                                                 
                       
                         Immature players, immature fans get the treatment they actually deserved for all the talking and shameless acts they do on social networks. This again shows that it's better to speak through your work then your mouth. Amazing cricket played by Indian cricket team. They rose to the occasion and thrashed the very irresponsible set of players. Match started with India winning the toss and electing to bowl first. Bangladesh opened with Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar and the latter got out pretty soon on a duck on the last ball of Bhuvneshwar and match's first over. Then came Shabbir Rahman,  who looked in real hurry and after striking few quick runs he got caught at point by Jadeja on the bowling of Bhuvneshwar. Next in was Rahim who steadied the batting with Tamim at other end playing watchfully. Indian bowlers were finding it hard to break the partnership and then trying few things they gave the bowl to Kedar Jadhav who did finally broke the partnership of 123 runs with getting Tamim to miss a ball and hitting his stumps to get him out for a well made 70 and then Bangladesh could hardly find a stable partnership after that. Rahim tried hard to stay on wicket with hard fought 61 eventually giving his wicket away playing a fulltoss from Kedar straight to Virat Kohli. Bangladesh team could eventually only mange 264 for 7 from their full quota of 50 Overs. Bhuvneshwar, Bumrah and Kedar shared 2 wickets each with Jadeja getting one scalp.
                                            Indian openers came in to the field with mischievous target to chase. Once again the opening partnership of Gabbar and Ro-hit man Sharma was quick and classy well capitalized by Virat Kohli, playing the most fluent innings of the tournament.                      
                                                                                                                                         
                                                Hit man of Indian cricket team played with his ever classy lazy elegance. Sometimes he gives a feeling that no bowler in present teams around world can get his wicket, it's only Rohit who will give his wicket to any bowler. As many as eight bowlers were used by Bangladeshi captain and other then the captain himself all the bowlers gave run at over an economy of 6 runs an over. Dhawan(46), Rohit(123*) and Kohli(96*) really made the mockery of the target with getting par the target in just 40.1 overs                          
                                                                    

with Virat Kohli hitting the winning runs.
                         
                                       
                                                       
                                                 Comprehensive win this was from Indian cricket team to reach the final of the ICC champions trophy, 2017. Now, once again it's Sunday (league match against Pakistan was also on Sunday) and it's India Vs Pakistan. What else can you expect from a tournament of this stature.
PS: In all the limelight being on batsmen for their classic chase I would specially mention Kedar Jadhav for his bowling effort. Some commentator was stating that may be India should have played Umesh instead of Kedar and suddenly BOOM, Kedar did hit the stumps and bowled out Tamim and getting Rahim caught by Virat. He was really the game changer today. So commendable on selectors part to select him in the playing 11. Cheers fellow Indians and other cricket lovers around world other then our two very own neighbours.
Brief score : Bangladesh 264/7, 50 Ovrs, Tamim 70(82), M Rahim 61(85), K Jadhav 2/22, J Bumrah 2/39
India 265/1, 40.1 Ovrs, Rohit 123*(129), Virat 96*(78), M Mortaza 1/29

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar - Journey to eternal legacy - (Part - 1)

"Cricket is our religion Sachin is our God" For me these lines have always been true.

For all such fans who can see him bat even now in those recorded clips with same dedication as we used to watch him play live, for fans who can read about him without blinking the eyes, for fans who still have his image(holding his bat and helmet in air after scoring his numerous tons) in their mind, for fans who feel nostalgic listening to those magical words - Sachiiiin Sachin Sachiiiin Sachin, here is my effort to take you to the memory lane of a splendid cricket career.

WI stuns India in the lone T20I, Evin Lewis slaughters Indian bowlers

Evin Lewis played remarkable innings of 125 runs from just 62 deliveries to help WI win the only T20I against India and win the one-off T20 series 1-0. This was his second century against India in T20s having achieved the same feat almost an year back in Florida. Chris Gayle who was included in the team couldn't do much with bat but Evin Lewis produced Gayle like innings in the centre. It rained sixes from his bat and none of the Indian bowlers had any answer to his brutal hitting. Evin Lewis made 125 runs and made his second century against India in T20I  Coin didn't favor Virat Kohli for the sixth time in as many matches in the tour. WI once again won the toss and elected to bowl first. Virat had called for heads in all 5 ODIs and lost the toss, he called for tails in the T20 and still lost it. Virat,  as was expected from him, opened the batting along with Dhawan. Both of them started to fire from the start. Virat started the India innings with a four on first ball o...
