Yuvraj Singh has given a strong answer to Mr Sanjay Manjrekar and Ravi Shastri, both the senior cricketers and commentators, had criticised Yuvraj"s selection for the ongoing T20 World Cup.

They had commented that Yuvraj should not have been picked in the team, even if the selectors have included him in the team its on emotional grounds,not on the his fitness to play competitive cricket at the highest level.

But Yuvraj has definitely proved them wrong by giving consitant performance on the field and challenging the opponents in every aspect of the game.

X FACTOR YUVRAJ.....

2012-09-11T23:31:00.001-07:00

Its was a perfect comeback for the dashing all-rounder Yuvraj Singh,against the only T20 match against New Zealand at Chennai.

He walked in after the fall of Suresh Raina's wicket, among thunderous applause from the crowd, he touched the ground in obeisance, as his dream came true to be again in the international playing arena, at the highest level of the game.

On the field he was very much composed without any reactions, when he took a high rise catch to dismiss Franklin, the players rushed to pat him and congratulate him, but the usual roar was missing after taking the catch, and the reaction on the face was flat when he was congratulated.

He bowled two good overs for only 14 runs, again the aggression was missing which is the signature of Yuvraj.. He was perfect in fielding diving and stopping the ball as usual.

In batting he smashed 34 runs of 24 deliveries, which two towering sixes and one four, and was out of the last over .Although India lost by one run , but Yuvraj won the hearts of all the Indians, who had prayed for his comeback, with his smiling mother enjoying the scintillating comeback of his son in the stands . You are a bravo and an example to all who are suffering from " C " , a great comeback.

Zindagi Abhi Baki Hai.....

2012-09-06T08:02:00.001-07:00

"I don't know if I would be making one run or 20 runs,take a catch,or take wickets....I am just so happy to be back. Some months back I could not even climb the stairs, and now I have this chance ",these are the words from Yuvraj Singh.

These encouraging words will inspire everyone, who is fighting against any dreadful disease , the way Yuvraj has fought against cancer , is an inspiring example for anyone fighting against cancer.

A documentary ZINDAGI ABHI BAKI HAI will show Yuvraj's battle against 'C' and how he came out triumphant. The documentary will be aired in November.

Yuvraj said ' The documentary is a reflection of what a cancer patient goes through. I wanted it to be documented as I wanted it to be an inspiration for those who live in denial. It is my story I want everyone to live their life all over again.' He further says ' At times I felt that chemotherapy was destroying my body, but at the same time , I also realised that I had to fight it out.When you have cancer, you work towards saving your life and I am thankful to God for giving me back my life. I wanted to come out stronger and play for India again.

His feelings were flowing like water and he said ' I am just raring to go to the field , Its like a child who has got his first Christmas gift and can't wait to open it.

All the best Yuvraj the entire nation is with you, waiting to see you again on the field.

Leave it to Sachin......

2012-09-03T23:39:00.000-07:00

The highest wicket-taker in Test Cricket the Australian pacer Glen McGrath said " Leave it to Sachin, he will know when to go." These are the comments from the legendary bowler who has taken 563 wickets, highest no of Test wickets . These are the kind of comments from a true sportsman, who has dismissed Sachin six times in Tests and seven times in one dayers.

Sachin has been playing since 22 years in international cricket, and is a Kohinoor diamond in the world of cricket. He is a true sportsman dedicated to Indian Cricket . He is on the top of all cricketers of the world.

No doubt Sunil Gavasker is a stalwart, and a batting genius the entire cricket playing countries are aware, he has served very well Indian cricket by scoring memorable knocks. But he has no right to comment on Sachins footwork, since he is getting out by being bowled, against fast bowlers.

Gavasker himself has played ample international cricket, and very well knows that a cricketer cannot give good performance matches after matches. How can he comment for Sachin who has scored 15000 runs and 51 hundereds. Gavasker is supposed to be the most perfect thinker and a person who has vast knowledge of the game . Just compare the records and runs of Sachin with other cricketers, he is far ahead of all of them.

The media and stalwarts like Gavasker should focus light on his no of fantastic matching winning performances which are more than his failures .
He has bounced back after a lean period and injury with thunder , to say shut up to his critics. Hence Mr Gavasker be a sportsman and do not comment on the masters footwork, compare your record with his...and bow to a man playing consistently since 22 years.

GUYS LEAVE IT TO SACHIN AND LET HIM ENJOY HIS PASSION FOR THE GAME UNTIL HE DECIDES TO RETIRE.

The Legend Ages.....

2012-09-01T22:09:00.002-07:00

Sachin Tendulkar, the legend of cricket world,shows signs of ageing. The way he was bowled in the on going test series,against the Kiwi fast bowlers has to be noted. At the age nearing 40 years, Sachin's footwork is not as nimble and fast as it was earlier, against full length deliveries.

Sunil Gavaskar, the first cricketer to score 10000 runs in test cricket said " its a worrying sign ..... Gavaskar was concerned about the big gap between bat and pad ... he said with age the feet do not come to the pitch of the ball, and the eyes cannot follow the line of delivery when it leaves bowlers arm.

Should Sachin consider to retire or he will bounce back again with thunder, is to be seen in the coming days. With so many talented young cricketers shaping up India has no worry if Sachin is not there. Of course, the whole world will miss the cricketing genius . .

Yuvi confident for T20 clash.

2012-08-30T06:43:00.000-07:00

Yuvraj Singh is practising hard for the coming T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka. He said " Experts are not are not watching me, they don't know about my fitness, its only me who knows what's going on inside me. I know myself better and I am confident enough to do well in the coming World Cup."

The former Indian captain Saurav Ganguly had commented on inclusion of Yuvraj in the squad as an 'emotional' decision by the selectors.

Yuvraj Singh said " I am practising hard National Cricket at Academy at Bangalore since last three months. The experts here are closely watching my progress and fitness level from all the aspects of the game" He further said '' I have played three matches at the NCA. I will have some serious match practice for two matches against New Zealand.I shall have seven matches before going in for the World Cup, hence I will have enough match practice."

We all have to keep our fingers crossed and see how the fighter Yuvraj performs in the days to come. Sure he will prove the selectors right for his selection.

INDIA AND OLYMPICS

2012-08-05T23:07:00.000-07:00

With the worlds most populated country, India have only managed to win only 3 medals , where as China tops the list with 61 medals . In India only cricket is the sports which is promoted and managed well , by the Board, other sports are ignored . The Government does not support well the promotion and training for other sports , hence we cannot compete or excel worldwide in other sports.

Even in sports lot of political games are played by our seasoned politicians , hence India can hardly win in the highest levels of international games.

KNOW GIRISH PATEL...

2012-07-23T08:03:00.001-07:00

A Gujarati vegetarian athlete Girish Patel represented Britain, in a highly energetic game pole vault.in 1976 Commonwealth Games Can you imagine , a Gujarati , taking part at the highest level......

Generally Gujaratis are not supposed to be strong built and take part in these kind of highly energetic game.

Girish Patel says that since childhood I was interested in sports, I was interested in pole vault , since its a combination of running and gymnastics.I found this challenge thrilling,I was selected in the pole vault squad for 1976 Commonwealth Games by Coach Tom Macanabe. But I did not had the mental toughness and energy to go through the demanding training to get set for the event.

I came in contact with Swaminarayan Guru Pramukh Swami, who inspired me and guided me and made me mentally strong through spiritual techniques, and I was able to compete in Commonwealth Games.

Why Gujaratis do not go for such sports which requires lots of strentgh and energy, which they cannot get since they are vegetarians ? Girish says " It absolutely wrong , you will be surprised to know that Carl Lewis, who has won 9 Gold Medals in Olympics and 10 World Championship medals is a vegetarian.

Tendulkar never fails.....

2012-07-18T03:58:00.000-07:00

Two decades ago a seer saw a diamond "Sachin", this was before he was handed the Indian cap,when he was just 16 years. This seer was Naren Tamhane wicketkeeper batsman of Indian cricket team in 1960.

It was the selection for the Pakistan tour of 1989, and the five wise intelligent selectors Naren Tamhane, Gudappa Vishwanath , Akash Lal, and Ramesh Saxena along with the chairman of the selection committee Raj Singh Dungarpur were completely lost in a thought and were confused over a 16 year old innocent fragile looking Sachin . Their worry was that when biggies, bow down to the fearsome Pakistan bowling attack what this kid can do. Can he face the thunderbolts from Imran Khan,Waqar Younis,Wasim Akram and the flights of Abdul Qadir. And if the kids self confidence gets busted his career will be as good as over.

They were discussing Sachin for one hour,and one of the selectors said no doubt he is talented but can he face the fearsome attack of Pakistan and if he fails than........ his sentence was cut short by a thundarbolt by Tamhane and he shouted '' Tendulkar never fails "

Raj Singh once said " Naren was disgusted because we were not taking Sachin seriously, even I was not convinced with Naren . But at the end of the series we all praised his judgement.
