FORMER INDIAN batting legend Sachin Tendulkar is known to have been politically cricket throughout his playing days. But at the Times Lit Fest on Saturday evening, the 'Unknown Sachin Tapes' session revealed a different side of the cricketer.
EVER SINCE India's ODI series loss against South Africa in Mumbai, the Gandhi-Mandela series has mostly been about the kind of 'pitch' prepared rather than contest between both sides.
FORMER PAKISTAN BATSMAN Javed Miandad on Sunday told the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) not to rush into preparing for the India series in Sri Lanka, as he thinks ''India could not be trusted to keep its committment."
FORMER INDIA SKIPPER Sourav Ganguly defended the nature of the pitch for the third cricket Test between India and South Africa at Nagpur, terming it a "one-off" and saying that batsman should have applied themselves more on the demanding wicket.
ADJUDGED MAN-OF-THE-MATCH for his swashbuckling 59 from 27 balls, India Under-19 batsman Sarfaraz Khan said it was an innings he played to get out of pressure.
A STUPENDOUS BOWLING effort coupled with a quickfire half-century by Sarfaraz Khan saw the India Under-19 team beat Bangladesh Under-19 by seven wickets in the tri-series final at the Jadavpur University ground in Kolkata on Sunday.
WEST INDIES off-spinner Sunil Narine was suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect after an independent assessment of his action was deemed illegal, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed on Sunday.
Ayaz talks about the controversial Nathan Lyon decision, the countries that could soon adopt the Day Night Test culture with a pink ball, and the way Test matches are playing out as batsmen struggle to stay at the wicket. Also about his conversation with Ravi Shastri on the Indian batsmen.
DECLARED MAN-OF-THE-MATCH for his 12-wicket haul, India's star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin said he looks for five-wicket haul every time he goes on to bowl just like batsmen aims at making hundreds.
CP and Ayaz discuss how the pink ball is holding up, the record attendance at Adelaide, and what it means for the future of Test cricket. Plus the thoughts of players and ex players on this new format.
