Sun has rose in the evening for Hydrabad... "Warner’s Warning!!!"

This batting display was bizarre... When SRH as a team reached 100 Warner was 82.... When Warner reached 100, SRH was 124 runs for no loss!! 

This batting display of Warner of 2017 reminded us of 2009... 

What Gilchrist did in 2009 Warner did in 2017... 

Seeing MI / (SRT) and KKR / (SRK) getting nailed is any-day a beauty to watch but, what is it of left-handlers and that too guys from down-under that they make things so not just beautiful, but intimidating

This wasn’t just a batting at its supreme best... This is an absolute humiliation!!

For tonight, Rain god may play a spoil sport, but forget not Sun has rose in the evening for Hyderabad... Already!! 

Beware rest of the teams!!

They swim, they sink and now they even SCREW-UP!!

The most devastating batsman of word cricket Gayle, multi-talented Watson, very special ABD and the classic finisher Kholi..

These men have been part of RCB for couple of years and yet one wondered what is it about the team which has failed to win a single tournament?? 

Well at start of IPL season 10 hopes from this institution of batting line-up was all time high but, as the tournament has progressed the best moved to bad and now to all time worst!!! 

Who to blame arrogance, overconfidence, carefree attitude? 

This is not a war but, RCB’s game plan over the years reminds us of what of Winston Churchill had then said; 

“However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results” 

Given the point table it looks extremely difficult for RCB to make it to playoffs... 

Forget the Holy Grail now it’s all about redemption!!!

Emotions Vs Money Vs Integrity...

Such a paradox can only be seen / heard off in India. 

It was a match against RCB at Chinaswamy stadium with Kholi captaining RCB and crowd chanting Dhoni... Dhoni... Even recent Indian test captain was stunned.  

In came MS and before he went back to dugout there was a ball which went not beyond boundary lines but, out of the ground!!! 

No one will doubt about enormous efforts it takes to hit a cricketing ball out of the ground...But, for me what stood apart was MS stumping of ABD. 

Till few hours back people were gunning down Dhoni’s throat, they doubted Dhoni’s form with bat but, no one spoke about his reflexes behind the stumps. 

This is a guy who won us WC both t-20 and ODI. The man who gave us victories be it in bilateral or triangular within the county or outside, was now being questioned about "Hunger, Will To Win!!”   

Let us not forget... 

Dhoni has earned more money from IPL than Playing for India. 
Next year Dhoni would go back to his original team CSK. Maybe, he would Captain the side, but for now what matters is Man’s hunger to win for his current team.
And till that is intact no one should doubt INTEGRITY!!!

But, I guess maybe,  

Kids think of emotions...
Men think of money...
Legends think of integrity!! – Period ;-))

Step-down Vs Step off :D

First they spoke for a long time about 2002, propaganda set by media. 

Then they questioned about his upbringing. ‘Chaiwala’ becoming a PM was indigestible for dogs and Madam from Grand old party. 

He broke the record, came into power with handsome majority and then they started doubting his administrative capabilities. 

Running a state they said is different than running a country... Time and again he proved them wrong. 

But, one thing which has been a matter of talking point, even for opposition a laughing stock is PM’s ability to converse in English. 

But today, after joint media statement at Hyderabad House in Capital, PM Modi and PM of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina were supposed to get ready for photo-op. 

That’s when official asked two Prime ministers to step-down instead of saying step–off. Poor choice of words, that too from English speaking clan, Huh? 

PM Modi known for his rhetoric just smiled and asked “step-down?” 

The entire room including the PM of Bangladesh broke into laughter... 

What’s important; Darling Prime Minister just proved us once again “English is just a mere language and not a measurement for brilliance!!”  

Check out the winning smile on PM’s face... 




Well done Sir.

Thank you Captain, thank you Terminator...

For me it wasn’t winning run or the Six which went sailing from Captain Smith’s Bat. 

But, the super moment came after seeing faces of the likes of Tendulkar (the mentor) Ambani (the Jr junior) Sharma (the MI captain) and Sunil Manohar Gavaskar

184 is what MI had scored and mind you not once they had lost the match scoring 184 batting first...

But, guess record had to be set.... Jinx had to be broken!!! 

Goodluck Raising Pune Supergaints 

Thank you Captain, thank you Terminator.... 

Good luck for “Dus Saal Apke Naam”
