I, a failed cricketer say: write picturesque, write insightful, else don’t write. I was probably not talented enough so could only make up to the club level in cricket but hopefully would do decent enough in my professional career as a cricket analyst.

I, a failed cricketer say: write picturesque, write insightful, else don’t write. I was probably not talented enough so could only make up to the club level in cricket but hopefully would do decent enough in my professional career as a cricket analyst. In love with playing the game as much as analyzing it. Post Graduate in Journalism from IIMC (Indian Institute of Mass Communication), New Delhi, India.

My Favorites:-

Cricketer- MS Dhoni

Bowler- Mitchell Starc

Batsman- Yuvraj Singh

Fielder- AB de Villiers

Wicket Keeper- Adam Gilchrist

Currently working as a freelancer for various sports sites. My writings are a source of self pleasure. Enjoy a fiercely fought test session much more than a slam bang T20. I write anything, as per whim- news piece, feature, opinion, editorial, preview, post match analysis etc. Hope to write a book one day!
