– Boria Majumdar It was early into the second quarter of the bronze medal encounter against Germany and the pressure on the Indian defence was relentless. And soon enough the Germans had taken the lead scoring their second goal of the match in the 24th minute. Even before the German bench had stopped celebrating the second strike did they score a third. India was 1-3 down and things were fast going away from them. Yet again the spectre of underachievement was starting to loom large. The dream was turning sour and the agonising wait of 41 years was all set…





It’s a mark of the respect and admiration that Rahul Dravid commanded during his playing career that even his opponents didn’t want to see him fail. When Australia toured India in 2008, losing 2-0 in a four-Test series, Dravid’s contribution to the Indian cause was a paltry 120 runs. Before the Australian team left Indian shores, Ricky Ponting, then their captain, had a chat with Dravid. “You’re not doing a whole lot wrong” was the gist of his message. Even as the man who had been India’s unchallenged No.3 for the better part of a decade struggled to work the…

Before you make an instant judgement of the social-media kind, think about the question for a while. And before you answer, check some numbers too. No one is saying that a triple-century against Assam – even if the 379 is the second-highest score in the history of the Ranji Trophy – is reason enough to fast-track Prithvi Shaw back into the Test team. But it should at least make us think of why he’s shifted so far away from the conversation when it comes to India’s opening options. We had to wait more than 80 years for an Indian opener…



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. Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, Shivam Mavi, Umran Malik, Axar Patel, there were so many who made match-defining contributions. That they were not regulars in the T20 set-up before this and one of them was a debutant is the most heartening aspect from the Indian point of view.…
