                      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

IPL Special Site; Play-off schedule; Photos 28-year-old India skipper on Thursday (May 18) shared a funny video on his Twitter handle where he could be seen in a 'Cowboy' avatar with a kid by his side.

Check out @imVkohli's Tweet: https://twitter.com/imVkohli/status/865160897613905920?s=09             Watching the video one could understand how much the Delhi-lad is enjoying. Kohli seems to be enjoying the time away from cricket to recharge and freshen up before he leads Team India to the England for the Champions Trophy 2017.          Earlier on Wednesday (May 17), Kohli thanked his fans for all the love and support they bestowed upon him and his team regardless of their poor performance during the IPL.  

See full story here: Though Royal Challengers Bangalore had a bad season in IPL 10, captain Virat Kohli's fan following hasn't decreased. While youngsters look at him as an inspiration, the rest of India is proud of him. Even Chris Gayle said that Kohli will come back strong in the Champions Trophy. Now, Kohli has found another fan. This time it is India Rhodes, Jhonty Rhodes' daughter.

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

             Former commissioner of the Indian             Premier League (IPL), Lalit Modi, on Monday (May 8) leaked the documents pertaining to the salary of former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the cash-rich league.      Modi, who at present is absconding from the authorities in India, has shared the offer letter MS Dhoni was given by the India Cements Limited, the company which owned IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK).            The 'appointment letter' - shared by Modi on his Twitter handle - claims Dhoni was offered the post of Vice President (Marketing) at the company's corporate office in Chennai with effect from July, 2012. As per the 'contract', Dhoni was offered a basic pay of Rs 43,000 per month and Dearness Allowance of Rs 21,970. As per the contract, Dhoni was also subject to Special Pay of Rs 20,000.        According to the appointment letter, Dhoni was entitled to Enhanced HRA of Rs. 20,400 while stationed in Chennai; Speci

               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. Approximately 11,000 bottles are used to produce high-end eco-friendly fabrics which are used in the jerseys. Thanks for reading Like us on Facebook: Sports men india

              Mohali, May 8: Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) fast bowler Sandeep Sharma was on Monday fined 50 per cent of his match fee for showing dissent at an umpire's decision during his team's IPL 2017 match against Gujarat Lions (GL) at I.S. Bindra Stadium.       In the fifth over of the Gujarat Lions innings on Sunday, Sandeep decided to switch to round-the-wicket but umpire Nand Kishore called a no-ball as he believed that the bowler did not inform him about the change.        Sharma admitted to the Level 1 offence 2.1.5 of the IPL Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials and accepted the sanction, as such there was no need for a formal hearing. For Level 1 breaches of the IPL Code of Conduct, the Match Referee's decision is final and binding. After posting 189/3, Punjab bowlers failed to step up to the occasion as Gujarat romped home by six wickets with two deliveries to spare. With this result, their chances of qualifying for the playoffs took a major h

Mumbai have won the toss and elected to bat first. Rohit: We are going to bat first. It is a good track, we've got to come out and play the cricket we have in the last few weeks. We haven't batted so much in the tournament and are looking to test us out. We are unchanged. Warner: The records speak for itself but it is a fresh day and we are looking to do well for ourselves. Three changes in our eleven - Nehra is out with an injury. Siraj takes his place. Williamson is out for Nabi and I do not remember the third. Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Lendl Simmons, Parthiv Patel(w), Nitish Rana, Rohit Sharma(c), Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Karn Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah, Lasith Malinga Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Moises Henriques, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammad Nabi, Vijay Shankar, Naman Ojha(w), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rashid Khan, Siddarth Kaul, Mohammed Siraj There is a chance to rain also Sunrises have

     After a long drama between BCCI and ICC finally BCCI announced squad for Champions trophy.       Manish Pandey, who hasn't played for the national side in the 50-over format since the series against New Zealand in October last year despite being selected for the subsequent one-day series against England, was named in India's 15-man squad for the Champions Trophy announced on Monday (May 8) - a day after the BCCI gave the all-clear to participate in the tournament.       Rohit Sharma, the opening batsman, returns to the set-up after having been ruled out for four months in November last year due to a thigh injury. So far, in the IPL, he has scored 183 runs in 10 innings for Mumbai Indians, who are the first team to qualify for the play-offs.                   While KL Rahul hasn't sufficiently recovered from his shoulder injury, Ravichandran Ashwin, the ace offspinner, who missed the ongoing Indian Premier League 2017 with a sports hernia injury, was named, a

Hello guys☺ Baseball and Cricket are two well-known members of the "bat and ball" family of games. While the basic principle is the same, the two games differ in their rules, terminology, playing equipment, number of players, field size etc. Cricket: Baseball: Comparison chart:                                    BAT BASEBALL:       Round like a baton with a tapered handle ending at a knob. It is no more than 2.625 inches in diameter at the thickest part and no more than 42 inches (1067 mm) in length. It typically weighs no more than 36 ounces (1 kg). CRICKET:  A round handle on top with a flat wooden bottom. The rules of the game limit the allowable size for a bat as not more than 38 in (965 mm) long and the blade may not be more than 4.25 in (108 mm) wide. Bats weigh from 1.1 to 2.3 Kg (2.4 to 5lbs).                         Protective gear BASEBALL: Defense: gloves in non-throwing hand, may use hard plastic headgear and padding. Catchers use plast

Hello guys☺ 41'st match between KKR VS RPS With the top four slots beginning to become clearer as the tournament wears on, the fight to occupy the top two positions is intensifying. Kolkata Knight Riders have had one of the smoothest runs among all teams in the tournament and their most hurting loss came only in the last game when they were run over by David Warner's damaging 59-ball 126. On the other side of the ring are the Rising Pune Supergiant, who have exhibited supreme recovery skills to bounce back from three successive losses and make their way up the ladder. Essentially, there are two types of wins that could fire up your confidence; one that is resounding where you maul the opposition, the other where you rise from your own ashes to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat. Pune's previous win was more the latter, masterminded by their costliest acquisition - Ben Stokes, that provided them the perfect impetus needed to take on KKR - the team that they last

Hello guys☺ 5. ASICS FuzeX ASICS FuzeX is probably the best pair of shoes for beginners who prefer road running. The gel technology-infused foam lining absorbs a great deal of shock while the seamless upper covering gives a more comfortable, glove-like fit around the feet. The outsole on the other end provides for full ground contact thus making the runner’s stride a confident one. 4. Adidas Pure Boost ZG Heat Shoes These shoes feature a textile upper lined with climate insulation which uses hollow-core fibres inspired by natural fur to trap more heat and keep the feet warm. A “boost” midsole supplies every step with a return of light, fast energy that helps the runners tread the extra mile. On the other end, the rubber outsole provides a decent grip and its affordable price makes it a great buy. 3.Saucony Kinvara 7 The factor that differentiates this shoe from the others is the RUNDRY Collar Lining which has moisture wicking qualities that allow the feet to s
