Sreesanth Spot-fixing: From a Kid With a 'Devil-May-Care' Attitude to Unending Darkness

When news broke out of S Sreesanth being arrested for spot-fixing, I honestly thought it was a prank being played by the news channels. I have known Sreesanth on and off for nearly 20 years, and to witness someone go down in the dock for what I consider the greatest sin any sportsman can do was not easy to digest. It also made me reminisce of our time together, when we were just wide-eyed little kids who wanted to play the wonderful game of cricket for the fun of it - remember those times? May 17, 2013

Sachin Tendulkar Turns 40: The Indian Wizard Who Continues to Defy Age and Logic

Sachin Tendulkar: A name that spreads joy in every Indian irrespective of the language that you may speak or the walk of life that you may come from. For nearly 24 years this name has been on the forefront of Indian cricket. From a child prodigy to the colossus that has ruled the sport. Tendulkar turns 40 today, and yet to many he is still that short little kid who uses the cricket bat as a magic wand, sending the cricket ball blazing to whichever part of the ground he wants to.

A storm threatened to ruin the IPL 2013 game between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Pune Warriors, leading to a slight halt early on, but once Gaylestorm decided to take charge, even Mother Nature had to take a backseat. A day after Shane Watson scored the first century of IPL 2013, Chris Gayle just made that innings look like an atttritional club game innings, as the RCB opener blitzed Pune Warriors for 175 runs in just 66 balls, leading his side to an 130-run victory.
