MS Dhoni giving the ball to Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar and said, “Ball uthaya toh bolenge retirement ke liye uthaya hai, (If I take the ball, everyone will say that I am retiring from cricket).” MS Dhoni declared as player of the series and in the presentation he said,“It was a slow wicket, so it […]

Finch pulls away a little too late as Bhuvneshwar, bowling from beside the umpire, is through with the ball. “That can’t be a dead ball,” says Bhuvi, but the umpire is having none of it. He’s gotta rebowl that. And the very next ball Bhuvneshwar gets the wicket of Aaron Finch third time in this […]

It’s down to 33 off 24 balls. Richardson has one, Stoinis has two more. Between overs, MSD was spotted talking to umpire about who’s got how many overs left. That shows that the dedication and smartness level of MS Dhoni while chasing. MS Dhoni was declared as player of the series for his three fifties […]

Stoinis to Kedar Jadhav, FOUR, lofted over mid-wicket and that’s the game and the series for India. Dhoni hugs Jadhav as his team-mates sport beaming smiles on their faces near the boundary. India won the Test series 2-1, they take the ODI series 2-1 and they have been unbeaten throughout with the T20s being shared Here is […]

Siddle to Dhoni, no run, another charge down, and another ugly mow. But this time the line angles in, sneaking between bat and pad. o, no, wait, there was a sound, and HotSpot has a nick on the inside edge. Wow. Nobody appealed, not a soul. And Dhoni was a walker, right! Here is the clip […]

Zampa to Kohli, no run, this is very unusual for the Dhoni-Kohli combo. Uncertainty in running. This time, it’s brought about through some excellent fielding from Khawaja. Overpitched outside off, jammed wide of point. Khawaja dives across and sends the pair – who were looking for the single – scurrying back to their respective ends. […]

Shami to Maxwell, out Caught by Bhuvneshwar!! This top edge isn’t going fine, work for Bhuvi to do and he takes a brilliant catch. He had to run in some 10-15 metres, not easy to judge those with the big stands in the background, but Bhuvi had his eyes glued on the ball, dived on the move and […]

Chahal to Shaun Marsh, wide, out Stumped!! Dhoni isn’t sure about the stumping, but Kohli assures him that Marsh didn’t make it back. Let’s see. Oh yes, he’s just about right. Marsh’s bat was right on the line, unlike the heel of Chahal’s front foot which had something behind it. Such a clever piece of bowling this. Tosses […]

Bhuvneshwar to Finch, out Lbw! He’s got him! Pitches it just outside off and gets it to swing back in, Finch is on the move after the ball is delivered and can’t account for the late movement. Gets beaten on the inside edge and is struck on the pad as the umpire raises the finger. He decides […]

Bhuvneshwar to Carey, out Caught by Kohli! The wobbler pitching on a short of length, hoping for some seam movement, Carey is forced onto the backfoot and leaves his bat hanging in an attempted backfoot defensive, no conviction on that shot. The subtle straightening off the seam gets the ball to move just enough to take the […]
