                      Krishnnya Guttedar has a special job at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. He is one of the 24 trainers who have been assigned to supervise their own dogs that serve as guards for the stadium. Loads has been written about the stadium that has dogs for guards, but Krishna, who has been Sunny - the Labrador's - trainer for the last five years, tells us a slightly different story in his native Marathi.          "We are 24 trainers, who are assigned one dog each. We have been trained at the police academy and in turn have trained the dogs that have been assigned to us. I have been taking care of Sunny since he was a few weeks old. He is five now," he says as a playful Labrador is as excited as ever.            "We are assigned the job of walking them, feeding them, ensuring their vaccinations are done on time. They only listen to us. On match days, while 5-6 dogs are guarding the gates, the others are along the boundary lines wi

Seven Things Nobody Saw Coming in This IPL Predicting the IPL is like calling election results where everyone seems to know what's going to happen, which way the wind is blowing and who is likely to win. Every cricket fan, observer, expert or guru feels he has cracked it but the game delivers unexpected googlies to prove them wrong. This season, the IPL has unfolded in a quirky manner, defeating common wisdom and defying the conventional. Here are things that no expert or fan saw coming . 1. Collective Failure of India's Stars The triumphant Indian stars who vanquished England and Australia collapsed in a heap in the IPL. Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja and Wriddhiman Saha (except in the last match against Mumbai Indians) ran out of oxygen, their bats went cold and left no impact. Rahul and Ashwin pulled out with injuries and Ishant was not good enough to merit a regular place in Kings eleven's eleven. This shows that t

               Bengaluru, May 8: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) donned a green jersey yesterday (May 6) in their IPL 2017 match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.        In an attempt to spread awareness on environmental conservation and global warming, RCB wear the green jersey on a particular day as a part of their Go Green initiative. The franchise started this initiative from 2011. The jerseys are made from recycled plastic bottles which are found and collected from in and around the stadium during RCB's home matches.
