India Vs Australia T-20 series:The key takeaways

India vs Australia T-20 series starts from 7 October.After a predicted comfortable victory in the ODI series it would be interesting to see the result in the T-20 series.This blog is about the team for this series and series prediction.


After the one sided ODI series the Australians must be trying to bounce back in the T-20 series.The Indian team has got a couple of changes in the T-20 team.Ajinkya Rahane has been sent back and Shikhar Dhawan has been included in the team.Dinesh Kartik has been included in the team.Finally a n excellent performance in the domestic cricket has been appreciated by the selectors.This is a very nice pick.The selectors have given a message to other players that if you are performing well at the domestic matches,you would be rewarded.Also Ashish Nehra or fondly called "Nehra ji" has been included in the side.What a journey has it been for Nehra ji,from 12 surgeries back to the team,one needs some courage to do so.
Several good players were kept out from the team for this series.Yuvraj Singh has been kept out of the team.This is pretty shocking.To keep a player like Yuvraj out of the team is not an intelligent move.He certainly should have been in the team.Suresh Raina has also been missed out.He also should have been given a chance.Various sources say that he was not able to pass he fitness test.Keeping Raina out for any other reason is not something an intelligent selection committee would do.Rishabh Pant has also been kept out of the team.Ithink think this talented young player should be given more chances.One bad performance against West Indies should not be the basis for keeping Pant out.
Finally I believe there is lot to achieve from this series.Firstly India is no.1 in Test and One Days hence no.1 position in T-20 should be something that India should keep an eye.I believe India should win this series.But because of the unpredictability and the Australian side we know.I do not think it would be an one sided encounter.The Aussies are expected to bounce back.Hence 2-1 is my pick from this series.

Ashes 2017:The clash of the Titans

The most awaited test series of the year,Ashes is back with Australia and England battling one more time.This blog about the team analysis of both the teams and who stands a better chance this time. This year's Ashes series is a very different contest all together.Both the teams have a bunch of new players and debutants.This makes the series even more interesting.Talking about the visitors i.e England,the whole batting line up revolves aroung two players Alaister Cook and Joe Root.The whole team is a lot more dependant on these two players.The top order of England having the likes of  Mark Stoneman,David Malan,James Vince is difficult to predict as these players don't have much experience.But the strength lies in the lower middle order of England where there is Moeen Ali,Jonny Bairstow.Both these players have a decent average of 35+.But it would be intersting to see how Moeen Ali plays in the fast and bouncy pitches of Australia.He got exposed to short balls when England ...

Who will win the U.S Open 2017?

U.S Open 2017 is all set to see its 137th champion.The withdrawl of many contenders have made this edition much more interesting.This blog discusses the major contenders of this championship this year. The biggest talking point in this year's U.S Open is who will play the finals rather than who will win the U.S Open.This is probably the first time that Nadal and Federer are placed in the same half of the draw in the absence of Djokovic and Murray.Defending champion Stanlas Wawrinka has also pulled out of the U.S Open due to injury.This means the top half is packed with many former U.S Open champions like Del Potro along with Federer and Nadal.Hence the one who advances from the top half is expected to win the championship.Bottom half has some good players like Cilic,Sam Querry,Zverev,Tsonga but Tsonga and Zverev have already been knocked out of tournament.The bottom half is expected to have such upsets because none of these players have been consistent in grand slam events...

ATP World Tour Finals 2017:As it happened

The most dramatic tournament of the year ended up with debutant Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria winning this tournament for the very first time.This blog is the analysis of this tournament. Nobody in this world would have predicted Dimitrov to win the ATP World tour finals this year.But he suprised everyone by defeating David Goffin of Belgium to clinch this title at his very first attempt.I really do not think this have ever happened in the past.The tournament was a roller coaster ride.First of all Nadal had to pull out from this tournament in the league stage itself which gave Pablo Custa a surprise entry to the championship. It was also the first time semi finals was contested with three debutants.Above all Dimitrov winning the championship.Roger Federer who was expected to win the championship in the semi finals after losing to David Goffin inthe semifinals.The way Goffin played against Federer it was predicted that he would eventually win the tournament.But in the finals Dimit...
