The Master Stroke

A lot has been said and written over the past year about Sachin Tendulkar. Or should I say about the retirement of the great man. Should he be playing, should he play only test cricket, should he play the IPL, should he bid goodbye on a high note

Superstitions

“I was supporting SL, because whenever I supported India they lose, it is a superstition and it worked again today”, were the words of the Man of the Match of the ODI between SriLanka and India at Rajkot, December 15, 2009 (A lot of time ago).
