Kohli and Dhoni Guide India to 2-0 Series Victory over New Zealand

The crisis men Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni put on an absolutely vital 96-run partnership for the sixth wicket to hand India a brilliant win over New Zealand in the second Test at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore.

Kohli, Raina Sparkle as India Claw Their Way Back Against the Kiwis

A wonderful second day contest between bat and ball saw India claw themselves to a measure of comfort, thanks largely to an assured 93 from Virat Kohli, on the second day of the second Test against New Zealand. Barely putting a foot wrong, the Delhiite, along with Suresh Raina and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, took India to 283 for five, when the hosts were at one stage hanging on precariously at 80 for four. Kohli was at the crease on 93, with Dhoni giving him company on 46 in an unbroken sixth... Sep 1, 2012

Pragyan Ojha Happy to Open the Bowling, Expects Pitch to Help Batsmen

Pragyan Ojha admitted the Bangalore pitch was a little different from the one at Hyderabad, with the left-arm spinner predicting some big runs to be scored by his team. On the first over of the day, it was neither Zaheer Khan nor Umesh Yadav, who opened the bowling, with Ojha given the responsibility, as India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni looked to exploit the little bit of moisture that was on the pitch. Ojha finished the opening day with figures of four for 90, as the Kiwis ended their day on... Aug 31, 2012

Yuvraj Singh Says Sachin Was the Inspiration Behind His Performance in World Cup Series

April 2, 2012, marks India's first anniversary of winning the ICC Cricket World Cup. The jinx of not having won the World Cup was broken when a mixture of both young and experienced players in the team got the cup for India after about 28 years. Team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's winning strike off the bowling of Sri Lanka's Nuwan Kulasekara continues to be cherished till today by every Indian. Apr 2, 2012
