You cannot do that. You just cannot hit Haris Rauf over long on for a six with such authority, that too from backfoot and at MCG, under such high-pressure circumstances. What are you? An Alien? Just to have the belief that you could chase that total down from the position we were in, with justContinue reading “Virat Kohli, how can you do it?!”

“It’s Ben Stokes with the winning runs, who else?! It’s always Ben Stokes.” Coincidence? I think not! “Ben Stokes is a mediocre t-20 batter. His stats suggest the same, too. Why does even England keep him in the team”. Well, this is why! He doesn’t have the fanciest of stats, but man has he impactedContinue reading “Stokes and his WC heroics”

There are players who play the game and then there are players who inspire a whole generation to hold the racket in their hand and dream of smashing the green ball at a tennis court, one day. There are players, who play the game and there are players who somehow become bigger than the gameContinue reading “The icon that Saniya Mirza is”

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a batsman. Cricket was all, I used to think about till I was 15-16. My batting was all I used to be worried, excited & overwhelmed about, even though I never played at any professional or big stage.  Since, there wasn’t any cricketContinue reading “ROOT’S BRILLIANCE THIS YEAR (2021)”

“Indian top order struggled against the spin today”. 5 years ago, this statement would have surprised me but not now, not at all. It’s a new norm now and a very alarming one. At one time, we were termed as one of the best teams that plays spin but from last few years, we haveContinue reading “𝗔 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗸’𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 (3-12-2021)”

One of the best uses of colours, I have ever seen in an Indian film/series. Blues, Reds, and Yellows just oozing out of the screen in sheer glory. Stunning visuals, I mean the opening shot, the umbrella scene, and the way they captured the rain, in general, I won’t be able to get them outContinue reading “JUBLEE (2023)”

Two shots, I have always found difficult to play are sweep and pull/hook. What make them so difficult for me?! Well, sweep, for one, I have hardly played. I always had this fear of going out of shape, not being able to look at the bowl and hence getting hit on my body and IContinue reading “Ek nhi sir, dedh!” :  Rohit and his pulls!”

The very thought of this crazy concept was pitched by Avinash Sampath to Vikramaditya Motwane, way back in 2014. Avinash then went on to write its screenplay, and Vikram, of course, directed it. Let’s first talk about the promotion of the film. The production team, together with Netflix, came up with quite a unique andContinue reading “Thoughts on AK vs AK “

New age filmmaking/storytelling at its pinnacle. The craziest and most decorated film of the year. A Daniels’ masterpiece. A narrative traveling through two ends of the spectrum: nihilism and existentialism. A war among love, hate, nothingness, and meaningfulness. Every life decision we make has its own consequences, and every life decision we avoid has itsContinue reading “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE (2022)”

Let’s go back to the days, when ODIs used to be the most loved cricket format. Days, when tri-series was a thing. And days, when India was yet to find it’s best limited over no.3 batsman. 28th of February, 2012. India was touring Australia. We got hammered by the mighty Aussies in the test matchesContinue reading “Virat Kohli and the “tale of Hobart”!”
