The Champions Trophy triumph nearly a decade ago, with a new-look team that had few stars, offers a blueprint that India need to try and emulate in a World Cup year. Unless you’re an adult, the chances are that you won’t even remember the last time India won a global trophy – the ICC Champions Trophy back in the summer of 2013. Since then, India have frequently barnstormed their way through the group stages of tournaments, only to fall short in the knockout matches that matter. Flawless in the league phase at the 2015 World Cup in Australia, and table…

– Atreyo Mukhopadhyay The rise of new India! That was the biggest takeaway for the Men in Blue from the first T20 encounter against Sri Lanka. There were several situations in the match when they were down and things looked gloomy. But they wriggled out and eventually, clinched a thriller of a match.

– Mohsin Kamal “I was kind of disappointed but I told myself that even if I’m not picked (in IPL Auction), it’s time to prove that I have what it takes!” Abid Mushtaq, the Jammu and Kashmir all-rounder, revealed what he was thinking ahead of the Ranji Trophy encounter against Vidarbha. Just a few days before the match, Abid was not picked by any franchise in the IPL Auction 2023. He had trailed with as many as seven franchises and done well at every trial. The left-arm spinner, who is more than capable with the bat too, was a top…

– Atreyo Mukhopadhyay It was great to see that the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) convened a meeting to chalk out a roadmap for the men’s 50-over World Cup to be hosted by India later this year. It is fantastic that the top board officials, coach, captain and others got together, exchanged views and took a few decisions, which they think, will stand the team in good stead. There were questionable announcements as well. I will come to those later. Let me talk about the laudable things first. If they have actually decided to identify a pool…

– Atreyo Mukhopadhyay It’s time to count money again. The mini-auction of IPL coming up in Kochi on Friday will see the franchises plug the holes in their teams and hunt for suitable back-ups. Not all of them have a lot of money to spend, so there will be mid-level buys as well. Here are three overseas and three Indian players who could be in demand. Foreigners Ben Stokes (England, base price Rs 2 cr) Needs no introduction and there is no doubt several franchises will go for him. All-rounders are always in demand in T20s and here is one…
