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” 

87 to go....

13 Test matches against 4 different countries is what India played in last one year.
And yet, the most awaited series of all has come down to wire. 

A lot was to be played for and every one had a point to prove.  

The authority of visiting team on Indian soil was always in doubt and yet at Pune, in less than three days of first test, the host were in shambles. More than shame it was a shocker, an eye opener.

Then came Bengaluru, and “brain – fade” saga took center stage than India win. 

Series was one – all, momentum had shifted on India’s side but, had it not been for the resilience shown from Aussie middle order batsmen Ranchi could have sealed the deal in India’s favor. 

Without Kohli India’s chance of winning a series looked doubtful but, maiden test for left arm spinner Yadav in one of the most picturesque venue Dharamshala proved blessing in disguise for the hosts, as they wrapped Aussies first innings at just 300 runs and later went on to take a minuscule lead. 

It was all about day 3 of 4 test and what one witnessed just after the fall of inform Aussie captain was the team which went down like ninepins in a matter of time. 

The target set was of 106 out of which 19 runs are in kitty already. Can host make remaining 87 runs without making too many blunders and end this grand season with a win. 

The heart says yes but, mind knows the reality of the game. It’s not over till it’s completely over.   

Fingers crossed for India win!!!

Winner takes it all....

The Road to Delhi goes through UP.... How true is that??

Out of 545 Lok Sabha seats alone UP comes with 80seats.
It was back in 2014 General Elections BJP had won 71 seats alone from UP which not only helped them cross 272 mark but took them beyond 285.

Well, the opposition and the media marked it as Modi wave.

Since then BJP won couple of state assembly elections be it up North to North East to Down south and yet when they lost Bihar and Delhi assembly elections opposition and media considered it as the end of Modi magic.

UP State Assembly election in a way was the ultimate acid test for Modi and his Government.

Not only the result would have given them a sigh of relief but winning in the Hindi Heartland would have meant time to go for an absolute kill and prepare for winning 2019 General Elections.

UP a state blessed with so many resources and yet have remained backward in terms of development since India's Independence itself shows the inability of leaders they voted in power.

But, seems like all has changed...

Is BJP win in UP a beginning of new era for UP in specific and India at large? Time will tell... 

All, Mr. Prime Minister and BJP would need to focus for UP is support for farmers, jobs for youth,  time bound roads, electricity and super efficient law and order.

Who knows with just PM's intention to uplift the poor if people of UP can vote for BJP in General Elections with actual delivery of development at UP state level they can bring Modi back at Central. 

Forget not alone UP comes up with 80seats in Lok Sabha. 

As much as we consider it as PM's victory we should be thanking People of UP. 

For once there weren't any Hindus or Muslims who voted for members of their own community. But, voted for development!!! 

And who can forget the contribution of Mr. President Amit Shah. He lives, drinks, eats Elections!!!


To the opposition and Good for Nothing Gandhi who would now blame EVMs  it's - WINNER TAKES IT ALL, LOSERS STANDS SMALL!! 

Congratulations BJP. Let the game begin!!
