Hyderabad: After Chris Gayle invented the 'Gangnam' celebration mode during West Indies' triumphant campaign in ICC World T20 last September, this year's IPL has witnessed Dwayne Bravo show his dancing skills more often than not. The Caribbean allrounder has done moonwalks, impersonations of Spartan, and at times was even caught doing tamil dance with his team-mate Dirk Nannes. Keep all that aside, as Darren Sammy seems to have followed suite...

New Delhi: England batsman Kevin Pietersen feels MS Dhoni's "clever" captaincy is the reason behind Chennai Super Kings' success in the ongoing IPL but downplayed the issue of his own absence being the cause of Delhi Daredevils' poor show.

But it was a premature celebration because the electronic scoreboard got it wrong. He was on 98. Believing he had reached three figures, Raina made room and scooped the next ball to backward point and was caught. When...

For the 24-year-old Mohit Sharma, who made his first class debut for Haryana in 2011, IPL 6 so far has been rewarding. With nine wickets in seven matches and an enviable economy of six runs per over, the Ballabhgarh boy has raised a few eyebrows and his performance of 3 for 21 against Pune Warriors on Tuesday was worthy of a man-of-the-match award. Mohit has a habit of picking key...

Chennai: Michael Clarke was the only Australian to score a century in their 0-4 whitewash in the Test series in India earlier this year. None of the Aussies had a clue which way the ball was spinning and succumbed to the pressure exerted by the spinners. Had Michael Hussey not retired and played that series, it could have been a different story - IPL 6 is testifying for that. Australia's...
