Injuries to senior players a blessing in disguise: MS Dhoni

After the tiring test series against Sri Lanka, India is now all set for the tri-series featuring them, Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The Indian team will be without many key players in the tri-series due to injuries but captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni says it’s a blessing in disguise as it presents them with an opportunity to test their bench strength ahead of the 2011 World Cup.

Indo-Pak game stakes lead to on-field spats: Moin Khan

Former captain Moin Khan has said that emotional intensity witnessed during the India-Pakistan Asia Cup clash on Saturday night was the result of no bilateral cricket being played between the two countries since 2007.

Sehwag, Gambhir lead India to comfortable win over Bangladesh

Bangladesh once again threw away a good start, going from 81 for 1 to 100 for 4 and then losing their last six wickets for just 12 runs to be bowled out for 167, as India got off to a perfect start in their Asia Cup campaign, winning their opening match by six wickets and almost 20 overs to spare.

Fit-again Gambhir looking to make an impact

Vice-captain of the Indian cricket team, Gautam Gambhir, has fully recovered from his groin injury and will be available for selection for India’s first Super Eight match of the World Twenty20 on Friday, and the left-hander said that he is eager to contribute with the bat to the success of the team.

Gambhir leads Delhi home in a low scoring encounter

Chennai Super Kings scored their lowest total of the season at the MA Chidambaram Stadium and yet, almost defended it! Chasing a mere 113 to win, Delhi were 6-3 and staring down the barrel and it was a determined knock by their skipper, Gautam Gambhir, that got them out of the hole… and in the end, it was a comfortable six-wicket win for the Delhi Daredevils which has virtually put them in the semi-finals.

Delhi takes on Chennai in a do-or-die encounter

Nobody would have expected Delhi Daredevils to be in this situation, where they have to win a game to stay in the tournament. The two-time semi-finalists of the Indian Premier League were one of the favourites right from the beginning, and even today, they have arguably the best team on paper. But the Delhi Daredevils have brought this upon themselves, and they will take on a high-on-confidence Chennai Super Kings in a must-win match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Thursday.

Pollard’s innings was the turning point: Gambhir

Delhi Daredevils captain Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday conceded that West Indian all-rounder Kieron Pollard’s late assault was the turning point of the match against the Mumbai Indians, which Delhi lost by 39 runs.

Pollard blitzkrieg wrecks Delhi

Kieron Pollard finally came to the party for the Mumbai Indians, smashing a 13-ball 45 to help Mumbai beat the Delhi Daredevils by 39 runs at the Brabourne Stadium on Tuesday. The win wouldn’t make much of a difference to the Mumbai Indians since they have already qualified for the semis but the loss is a huge jolt for the Daredevils, who would now have to win both remaining matches to stand a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals of the Indian Premier League.

Gambhir slams Kotla pitch, says he would like to play away matches

Skipper of the Delhi Daredevils, Gautam Gambhir, joined Anil Kumble in voicing his concern over the wicket at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi, saying that the pitch in Delhi is not suited for T20 cricket and that he would like to play more “away matches” rather than play at their home ground in the Indian Premier League.

Punjab complete hat-trick of wins, crush Delhi by seven wickets
