IPL Team XIs - Post 6 Feb 2016 Auctions

IPL XIs

RCB

1. Gayle (Overseas)
2. Watson (Overseas)
3. Kohli (C)
4. AB de Villiers(Overseas)
5. Mandeep / Sarfaraaz
6. Jadhav (WK)
7. Binny
8. Starc (Overseas)
9.  Akshay Karnewar / Iqbal Abdullah (Home matches, extra seamer could play)
10. S Arvind / Aaron / H Patel / Abu Nechim
11. Chahal

XI = 4 Batsmen, 2 Seamers, 2 Spinners, 3 Allrounders

Backup Allrounders = David Wiese
Backup Seamers = Milne, Kane Richardson
Backup Batsmen = Travis Head, Sachin Baby
Backup Spinners = Samuel Badree,
Others = Praveen Dubey, Vikas Tokas

Strength : Additional firepower to already explosive batting in form of inform Watson. Watson allows Kallis like balance to team or some might argue even better in T20.

Weakness = In form of Badree have a quality spinner. But four Overseasers are already locked in Gayle, Watson, AB and Starc. Needed a quality Indian spinner. P Ojha would have a good pick. Seamers prone to leaking runs in pressure situation. Only S Aravind has shown progress that too at the start of innings. Will play Arvind, if to open bowling with Starc. Preference will Watson to open bowling and Aaron in middle.

Verdict = Strong and balanced. Still searching first title. So far made just one final.





MI

1. Rohit (C)
2. Anderson (Overseas)
3. Rayudu
4. Buttler (Overseas) (WK)
5. Pollard (Overseas)
6. Pandya
7. Suchith
8. Bhajji
9. Vinay / Nathu
10. Malinga (Overseas)
11. Bumrah

Backup Allrounders = Shreyas Gopal (Spinner), Krunal Pandya
Backup Seamers = Southee, McClenaghan, Akhshaya Wakhare, Nitish Rana
Backup Batsmen = Lendl Simmons, Parthiv, Chand, Siddhesh Lad, Jitesh Sharma
Others = Kishore Kamath, Deepak Punia

XI = 2 Batsmen, 3 Seamers, 1 Spinner, 5 Allrounders

Strength : Every season pick of the players is bought by MI. Pollard, Maxwell, Richard Levi, Anderson and Jos Buttler now. In auction, at times MI enters for some player, other teams backs out. Such is their monetory arrogance. Core is same. In Anderson, Pollard, Buttler and Pandya Mumbai have 4 biggest hitters who can hit from the word go. Each one can win games single handedly on their own day. On top of that their captain Rohit is in form of his life. Once he accepted captaincy, it has only benfitted him. Going by rumors, Nathu seems to be a good addition, given they had Bumrah already.

Weakness : Malinga skills are waning same as of Dhoni. If doesn't perform in first 3-4 matches, replace him with Southee.

Verdict : There's no reason, they can't add one more title to their kitty.




KKR

1. Gautam Gambir (C)
2. Robin Uthappa (WK)
3. Manish Pandey
4. Shakib (Overseas)
5. Yusuf Pathan
6. Suryakumar Yadav
7. Andre Russell (Overseas)
8. Piyush Chawla
9. Sunil Narine (Overseas)
10. Umesh Yadav
11. Morne Morkel / Hastings (Overseas)

XI = 3 Batsmen, 2 Fast Bowlers, 1 Spinner, 5 Allrounders

Backup Allrounders = Hastings, Jason Holder, R Satish, Manan Sharma
Backup Seamers = Unadkat, Ankit Rajpoot
Backup Batsmen = Lynn, Munro, Sheldon Jackson
Backup Spinners = Hogg, Kuldeep

Strength : KKR is an exception in a way, its entire batting and top order consists of Indian batsmen. This turned out to be a real strength as they could use their Overseaser slots for allrounders or bowlers. We know how bad Indian bowlers perform. They play half of their matches on slow pitch of Eden Gardens and thus Narine, Chawla, Shakib, Yusuf Pathan, Kuldeep Yadav and Brad Hogg's inclusion bodes well with team. Hastings is a experienced handler and good addition to squad. Satish is so much known for his fielding whether they play him in XI or not, they could use his services. 10 lacs is good amount paid for a single skill.

Weakness : We don't know how good Narine will be with his remodelled action. As a team they relied heavily on him. In his absence they won last IPL but they had to chase almost 200. People have forgotten when last Yusuf played a match winning innings for KKR. Gambhir too is losing faith in him. He was heard mentioning at auctions, we are looking for possible replacements for Pathan. Backups do not bode well with this team.

Verdict : On paper, it might seem not so good team as of RCB or Mumbai. but performances are what matters. On field they are as good as any other team. We are yet to see how KKR strategies after departure of coach who is with England now.

Backup WKs =

Strength : Last season they benched Steyn, this time it could be Boult. Such is their bowling strength. Along with Nehra they have acquired services of Mustafizur as well. Such is left handers presence, Bhogle tweeted SRH could field all left handers in their XI and still could produce a quality side. Whether batsmen or seamers, they have abundance of talent in left-handers.

Weakness :

Verdict : At auctions Laxman made a statement, Such is their left-arm-seamers prowess they could leave Bould out of XI and accomodate Williamson and Henriques.

Indian squad for T20 World Cup




My Indian team for World T20 to be held in India from Tuesday March 15, 2016. India will start its campaign against New Zealand in Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur in a day-night match.

1. Rohit Sharma
2. Manish Pandey
3. Virat Kohli
4. Suresh Raina
5. M S Dhoni
6. Hardik Pandya
7. Pawan Negi
8. Ravi Jadeja
9. Ravi Ashwin
10. Jasprit Bumrah
11. Ashish Nehra

Back up seamer - Mohd. Shami

Back up spinner - Harbhajan Singh

Back up batsman - Ajinkya Rahane


Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are two best limited overs batsmen India have at present and both are in awesome form. Suresh Raina is an automatic selection. There’s no better batsmen-wicketkeeper available than Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are automatic picks as well, considering world cup is being organized in India.

India will prefer to play three spinners in XI. We have Harbhajan Singh who bowls tidy economical overs can hit a few, if required. But we have seen Pawan Negi hitting the ball hard in IPL. He did it for Chennai Super Kings and before that for Delhi Daredevils. Besides noticeable that he is a left-arm spinner who bats left handed too. Left-armers are valued in gold, when it comes to spin. Left-right batting combo helps as well. Done Spinners.

Openers, we have Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane. Dhawan has not so consistent, though we are highly aware, he is a match-winner and on his day can demolish any attack. Rahane a consistent one but not dynamic. We have seen his best IPL exploits probably in 2014 IPL where he was as consistent as anyone in the world and scored two centuries I think. But he is par that. Young Manish Pandey is an upcoming star. He was a solid no 3 for Kolkata Night Riders and one of the reasons they won 2015 IPL Title. He is consistent and a big match player. He is my choice for opener. Rahane has been kept as a backup batsman. Could easily slot at top of the order or in middle, if situation arises.

Allrounders. We have Hardik Pandya, Stuart Binny and Rishi Dhawan as seam bowling allrounders. In T20s these will need to start hitting from the word GO. Rishi is not made for that. And after so many chances, Binny is yet to show that. Pandya is coming off a very successful Syed Ali Mushtaq T20 trophy. Bowling wise he is not at par but will improve. And anyways Dhoni will be using him sparingly on Indian Pitches, He will have Raina at his disposal too.
Seamers. Ashish Nehra and Mohd. Shami are two of the best in business when it comes to control, bowling at death or wickets at the start. Jasprit Bumrah has popped up at the scene and have impressed everyone. Dhoni, a very subdued person, openly admired him by mentioning as Find of the Tour.

We Indians are the emotional kind. And whenever a Yuvraj Singh or Irfan Pathan comes up for discussion, we get excited. Though both of them used to be a match-winner but I am not sure if they possess same firepower today. What we saw of Yuvi in Australia was not much different from that of last T20 world cup finals, although almost 2 years ago. Seems like nothing changed.

Shikhar Dhawan was a notable miss from my team but he doesn’t dim fit. Pick any of his recent IPL stint or T20 internationals. He misfired on most occasions, with few fine knocks. High time to move on. I am not writing him off but better options are available, I am simply going with them.

If personally someone asks me, whom I will miss most. Without a doubt, it would be Robin Uthappa. He is a real consistent player anywhere from the top of the order to middle order or lower middle order. We all have witnessed what he did opening for KKR. Prior to that how can we forget his fireworks in the middle for RCB few seasons back. He is a quality player without a doubt. I would love to see him back in the setup, anywhere literally.

My squad consists of 5 proper batsmen, 2 spinners, 2 seamers, 1 seam bowling allrounder and 1 spin bowling allrounder. Note that, I am not counting Jadeja or Ashwin as allrounders, though they could bat a little.

India are to play total of 10 T20 matches before start of the T20 world cup assuming we qualify for Asia Cup Finals. 3 T20s with Sri Lanka. 5 T20s in Asia cup including Finals. 2 warm up matches are lined as well just before the world cup with mighty West Indies and dynamic South Africa. It is imperative India should test and groom these set of players by allowing them ample chances and time in the middle. There could be nothing more encouraging than backing them up and making sure they are not playing for their places.

Not Discussed – Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma, Axar Patel, Amit Mishra, Umesh Yadav, Ambati Rayudu, Varun Aron.

Please don't mention Ishant Sharma, Karn Sharma, Yujvendra Chahal & Sandeep Sharma.

I will love to see Deepak Hooda as a surprise pick and yes I did not miss Suryakumar Yadav … lol.

Letter to PM Narendra Modi, from an Indian wife



बिहार की राजधानी पटना की एक महिला / पत्नी ने प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी को एक पत्र लिखा और अपनी अभूतपूर्व योजना बताई |

सरकार को अब दारु दुगुने दाम पर बेचनी चाहिए ! और आधा पैसा पीने वाले की पत्नी के अकाउंट में सब्सिडी की तरह वापस कर देना चाहिए जिससे ये फायदे होंगे !

1. पति लिमिट में पियेगा, क्योंकि उसके नशे की मात्रा उसकी पत्नी के बैंक बैलेंस के बराबर रहेगी ।
2. पत्निया अपने पतियों को पीने के लिए कभी मना नही करेंगी ।
3. पत्नी को मालूम रहेगा, आज पति ने कितनी पी ।
4. जिस की पत्नी का अकाउंट नहीं है वो भी खुल जाएगा ।
( हो सकता है किसी किसी की पत्नी को आयकर - रिटर्न भी दाखिल करना पड़े  )

नई सोच को सलाम |

God and Lions Temple Story


A father took his son to a temple. Son saw statues of Lions at entrance and started shouting, "Run dad, or those lions will eat us".

Dad consoled him saying, "They are just statues and can't harm us".

Son replied, "If those lion statues can't harm us then how could statues of God give us blessings !!!".

That evening, father inscribed in his diary, "I am still speechless on my child's answer and have started searching for God in Humans instead of statues. I didn't find God but I found humanity".

Journalism - unbiased or sensible?




Oxford defines Journalism as activity or profession of writing for newspapers, magazines, or news websites, preparing news to be broadcast-ed. It doesn't bother defining any further.

Word Journalism always intrigue me. This word constantly make me think, what is right way of doing it? Does Journalism merely mean unbiased reporting? Or it means constructive and sensible news reporting? When I use words like constructive, sensible, I mean unbiased but meaning and positive reporting. We come across lots of news full of negativity. Though this is a fact, every moment somewhere in country a kidnapping, a rape, murder, a theft is being done. I am not negating it. But could we please emphasize over good news. For example, Wipro Chairman Mr. Azim Premji pledged to donate 80% of his wealth.

We come across lots of negative news on a daily basis. Now the next question arrives, is too many negative things happening around us or do we choose to report more of negative news? Is is due to TRP? But I fail to understand, how murder, rape, robbery reports attract TRP. Or there are too many pages to be filled?

We may often encounter people criticizing newspapers and upto an extent they are on the right side.

Sometimes to take a step forward, we have to step backwards first.

Times Now Arnab Goswami is belief of that If you are asking a question, it is an art to hide answer in the question itself.

India Today's Rajdeep Sardesai has disappointed me most among all the senior jounalists of India. At times, I feel pity for him. It feels like he is regretting, why the hell did I ask this question. I have seen him being speechless and as if he is not aware what to do or ask next, once the interviewee answers in a way, he did not expect. Looks like he will cry on screen.

One dear friend of mine, who follows Indian Politics and Journalism very closely rates him the best.

Please comment what do you feel about Journalism and how it should be done? Is there a role-model in Indian Journalism, who could be used as a standard as others could be measured on that scale? With exception of few, news channels are looking like either tilting towards Congress or BJP. Some regional parties went to such an extent, they started their own news channels in name of unbiased reporting. But I need not to write what to expect.

Was there an era, Jounalism was at its peak in India? Can we safely say, current is the worst phase of jounalism in India?

No Whatsapp, No Facebook Policy


Dear friends,

I have uninstalled Whatsapp and have deactivated my Facebook account. I was feeling like, I had no control. Whatsapp and Facebook were controlling me. I did it around a month back.



I was not very active on Facebook. Anyways people always kept asking, Did you see that? I have shared a nice thing, you will surely like it. And things, and things. And I had to say, I seldom logins on fb. And their next question would be, why is that? I was fed up answering them. Now I can say straight in to their face, "I am not on fb". Ha ha :D

Coming to Whatsapp, I appreciate habit of replying and/or acknowledging. If someone is pinging me, I can't ignore. A lot of my time was being used up in all these. I was always feeling like running out of time. It was becoming a bad addiction.

So I decided to get rid both of them. And now I am not dependent upon them. I feel, I am the one controlling myself.

But this is for a short period. I will be back soon, when I will feel more confident of controlling them, instead being controlled by them.

Wake up, anytime without Alarms



In my childhood, I never had problem getting up early in the morning. And I was doing it without alarm clocks. Are you interested knowing, how to wake up any time without setting alarms? This is an age old practice being followed in India for centuries. Being passed by one generation to next. I was taught this by my grandma.
After lying down in bed. Call out your name and instruct, wake me up at 5 o’ clock. For example, “Peter wake me up at 5 o’ clock in the morning”. (Replace Peter with your name).
My name is Bittu. So I will call out, “Bittu wake me up at 5 o’ clock in the morning”.
"बिट्टू मुझे सुबह बजे उठा देना ।"
It will be more helpful if you could instruct in your native language. This should be last thing you do before sleeping. It has always worked for me. Try out and and let's see if it works for you as well.

I am not aware why it works. But I think, our sub-conscious mind records it as a command, and wakes us at the exact moment.
  
There are many similar practices in India. Which are being forgotten with time. I know few and would really like to share with all interested guys. Keep watching this space. And let me know in comments section, if it worked for you as well.


Expecting a lion not to eat you because you are a vegetarian is foolishness.

We were playing a game of Cricket. My dear friend Abhishek was batting, on strike.

He was a useful all-rounder for our class team. Could bat pretty well and was a decent bowl. He used to be a little arrogant. Always puts himself first. Wanted to win at all costs, by hooks or by crooks.

Let’s get back to our match, which was in a tense situation. We were chasing. Our seniors had set us a competitive target of 139 runs. We usually play 12-overs-a-side-match and run-rate exceeding 10 was a norm.

We were 5 down for merely 48 runs. Fifth over was in progress. It was a short ball. Abhishek tried to hook and unfortunately edged. Ball lobbed high-up in front of the bowler, a little towards right. Bowler settled nicely under the ball to complete a simple catch. But suddenly, Abhishek came running and collided with the bowler, catch was missed.



He told with a straight face, "I was completing my run". Though he knew, ball was not on the path batsmen ran for runs. It was evident, Abhishek had deviated his path while running. It was a deliberate act preventing bowler completing the catch. It sparked heated discussions. Game was halted for a long duration. At end, it was decided he would bat on.

Everyone knew, Abhishek cheated. Everyone thought, he will be punished, will get out soon. As kids, we used to believe, “Jo bhi Be-imaani karega, use Bhagwan saza denge (Cheats will be punished by God)”.

Contrary to everyone’s belief, he went on to score 60-odd runs, won match for us. He might get punished some other day but who cares.

What did we learn of this incident? Expecting a lion not to eat you because you are a vegetarian is foolishness.
