After 25 years

Twenty five years have passed by and still the memories are afresh in our minds. Its on the same date India won its first cricket world cup at Lords, London. It’s a day no Indian will ever forget. Kapil Dev and his boys took on the mighty Clive Lloyds West Indies team. The odds were 61:1 against India. India played first and scored only 183 which was a small target for great team like West Indies. But Indian team played so well that they defended the small total and defeated the West Indies comfortably. Many described that as David slaying Goliath. Whatever it be , those 11 players brought glory to our country which is embarked in cricket history forever.

IPL- A success story

IPL finally ended in a grand manner. As expected a team with least expectancy won the championship. Rajasthan Royals deserve the cup. They played really well throughout the tournament. Even Chennai Superkings played well. Since this 20-20 format is fast gaining popularity among the cricket fans, this tournament kicked off in a grand manner. Almost all the grounds were full for all matches and that has been the success part of this tournament. BCCI has decided to have two seasons in a year but that will take some time. But as far as now the tournament was a grand success and kudos to Lalit Modi and his team.

Tennis becoming predictable?

Is tennis becoming more predictable?

The answer is yes....

For the past five years in the wimbledon women’s singles title is being grabbed by the william sisters Serena and Venus williams. Venus williams clinched her fifth wimbledon title defeting her younger sister in the sets 7-5, 6-4. The match was really close and the battle was intriguing as serena made venus to sweat a lot and win her title. This is the fifth year of domination of the william sisters in this championship. Where are the top seeds in wimbledon? why they are not reaching the finals.

In the same way men’s singles is also dominated by Federer and Nadal for the third time. So nowadays the finalists have become predictable and the interest in watching this game is decreasing. Let’s hope for a different set of finalists for the next wimbledon at least.
