Indian Cricket TeamThree cheers for Team IndiaThe cheering note continues to ring in the Indian dressing room, as our worshipped heroes finally emerged victorious in the limited over match series against the arch rivals in the National stadium, Karachi. Undoubtedly it can be called the winning parade of the young bloods. This glorious ODI series win of Team India in the den of their old foes is the result of a marvelous team work where the young stars looked confident adorned with the  praise and guidance from the seniors
The sensational duo Yuvraj Singh and M.S.Dhoni came up once again to torture the opponents with their glaring stroke plays and led their squad to an emphatic 4-1 ODI series win which is the second successive triumph of India over Pakistan after the 3-2 victory in 2004. To sum up the whole match I must say that it is nothing but a stylish finishing touch by the men in blue.

:: The Controversial Man
Greg ChappellYes friends, you can call him the Man of controversy, at least if you are aware of the career history of Greg Chappell as the Indian cricket coach. It was not in the remote past, but the month of May last year when India finally singled out its cricket coach from the four tough contestants, to be the mentor of their team .As you all know that in India, cricket is the sport which has the greatest hype and cricketers are treated as national heroes. So it is obvious that the man who has been given the vital responsibility to modify the Indian cricket team, will always remain at the centre of discussion with each of his step evaluated with huge criticism. Such has also been the case with the former Australian skipper. His row with Sourav Ganguly is now a well known phenomenon in the history of cricket. The dispute figured out when a confidential mail from Chappell to BCCI was leaked and it assured a rocky career graph in future for not only the Prince of Kolkata but for the ruff n tuff Chappell too. But the man has his part of saying too. Don't you want to check out the latest vibes of this controversial man? Then Join me ...
