IPL 2011: News

My toss decision was wrong: Gilchrist

After being thrashed by 82 runs by Deccan Chargers in their do-or-die IPL match, Kings XI Punjab skipper Adam Gilchrist on Saturday said his decision to field first coupled with a sloppy allround performance quashed their hopes of making the play-offs.

Once famous, getting there once more

Blame it on an overdose of the game, but the Indian cricket fans’ memory is becoming short. A few months out of the limelight and you are in danger of being written off as a discard. Ask the Deccan Chargers troika of Ishant Sharma, Amit Mishra and Pragyan Ojha. Sanjjeev Karan Samyal reports.

Is the BCCI unfair in expecting its marquee players, in whom they've invested so much, to represent the country in an international game?
