Cricket, Stats and Opinion: India tour of England in 2021.

Image Source: BCCI and ECB official websites. Test match is arguable the toughest format of the game and one of the most interesting formats too. A lot of thought is given to the selection of athlete(s) for the Playing XI for a given Test Series and each Test Match, to be precise. If it is a five-matches series in England, the stakes are significantly higher than usual. We all are enthusiasts and fanatics of sports (in this case Cricket), and we can feel the difference when it comes down to playing a sport for 5-days and when the game itself resembles our day-to-day lives. Doesn’t it? You start fresh every day, with new and more exciting challenges (such as weather), new opportunities, new setbacks, new record-breaking performances. Irrelevant of the Nation or the Team you represent. Harsha Bhogle kind of sums it up quite nicely for us, “I like many things about Test Match Cricket. We go through difficult phases in life. Maybe, financially we are not that well-off. The fact that you p...

Would you call yourself ‘a fan’ or ‘an antagonist’?

Image Reference: https://joelkimmel.com/tag/sports-fans/ “My favorite part of the game is the opportunity to play - Mike Singletary” . We all have had an equal number of opportunities in our lifetime. Some may appear when ‘we want them’, many of those would only appear to us ‘when deserve them’, but sooner or later we will get a chance to prove ourselves.

Acknowledged by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in the 2012 London Olympics, Late. Balbir Singh Dosanjh aka  Balbir Singh (Sr)  was named among the  World’s 16 Greatest Icons across all Sports . He was amongst the few who took Olympic movement to newer heights, similar to what he said on  “Walk the Talk”  with Mr. Shekhar Gupta, "It is really special for someone to experience your team winning & your national flag is going higher & higher in the sky." Being a sports fanatic & a keen follower, we often come across weird stories & instances that an athlete shares about him/her or their team members. One of the strongholds of Late. Balbir Singh (Sr) was that he was obsessed with hockey - because of the history he has with the sport, and also because his father was obsessed with the National Flag  [Source:  Hindustan Times ] .   The obsession, which the athletes & sports management professional like to call it th...
