Teams have to think on their feet
The IPL schedule leaves no time for thought. Teams have to rework strategies quickly as otherwise their approach will become so well known that opponents will be better prepared with counter-strategies. Chennai Super Kings were forced to rethink their tac <a href="http://healthout-dr.bagmane.corp.yahoo.com/yahoocricketcolumns/2008/05/12/teams-have-to-think-on-their-feet/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a>

Dhoni revels under captaincy pressure
Call it plain luck or the X factor, M.S. Dhoni seems to have something extra to offer when he dons the skipper's hat. Due credit to Anil Kumble for the manner in which he has handled this side over the last three series and it was only fitting Dhoni, w <a href="http://healthout-dr.bagmane.corp.yahoo.com/yahoocricketcolumns/2008/05/02/dhoni-revels-under-captaincy-pressure/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a>

I want to meet Mahi’s mentor
With every passing game my admiration for Dhoni's captaincy has only grown. Many captains in world cricket would have had a creased brow when the Wasim Jaffer-Ross Taylor partnership was on. Instead Dhoni was a picture of calmness even when the match s <a href="http://healthout-dr.bagmane.corp.yahoo.com/yahoocricketcolumns/2008/04/30/i-want-to-meet-mahis-mentor/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a>

Partnerships important even in T20
It was heartening to see the Chennai crowd get full value for their money. Everyone who had descended on the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium would have left satisfied. More than 400 runs and a result in favour of the home side, and the spectators could not ha <a href="http://healthout-dr.bagmane.corp.yahoo.com/yahoocricketcolumns/2008/04/28/partnerships-important-even-in-t20/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a>

Super Kings off to a royal beginning
My heartiest congratulations to the Chennai Super Kings for having kicked off their IPL campaign in thunderous style. Cricketers thrive on confidence and a good start is of paramount importance to the finest players.

Viru, Dravid stood out
The Chennai Test, played on a pitch that remained a batting beauty till the final ball, was never going to produce a result. I would prefer to concentrate on the batting displays of two stalwarts who in their own different ways have served the cause of <a href="http://healthout-dr.bagmane.corp.yahoo.com/yahoocricketcolumns/2008/04/04/viru-dravid-stood-out/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a>

Master and pupil excel for India
Only a few athletes are blessed to write their own scripts. SachinTendulkar will probably remain the only cricketer in the history of the game who has been forced to prove himself time and again.Mind you after a phenomenal run for more than 18 seasons <a href="http://healthout-dr.bagmane.corp.yahoo.com/yahoocricketcolumns/2008/04/04/master-and-pupil-excel-for-india/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a>

India should play on sporting home pitches
Test matches in the subcontinent tend to go to one extreme or the other. Either you get a square turner on which the visiting batsmen generally don't stand a chance or you get a wicket that is so placid that the bowlers of both sides have no chance.
