2010 IPL Diary: parking chaos and week-in-review
This post is coming a bit late but I guess better that than never. I guess it was the same story with regards to the Mumbai Indians versus Delhi Daredevils match – my first ‘official’ visit to the press box at the Feroz Shah Kotla. I intended to reach early and I did – at 6.30 pm. But that was just the beginning as for the next ninety [...]
2010 IPL: Feroz Shah Kotla on the mend
The last time Tillakaratne Dilshan batted at the Feroz Shah Kotla was in December last year. He faced Zaheer Khan first up and got banged on his helmet.

A satisfying season
With the ODI series win against South Africa, a highly satisfying season for the Indian cricket team has come to an end. It has been one of many highs and some disappointing lows. Wining the tri-series in Sri Lanka while playing on poorly prepared pitches was an ideal start, though that waned off when Champions Trophy in South Africa and the ODI [...]
Thank You Sachin!
Almost eighteen years to the day, in the 1992 World Cup, India took on Pakistan. That was the first match I watched, thanks to our babysitter who was a cricket fan as it turned out. A curly-haired guy got a half-century – whatever that meant I must have thought then. Important point was everyone was happy and later got happier because India won. [...]
