Cricket was once a leisurely game, played to pass time, while it was warm and sunny outside. People flocked to enjoy a beautiful day outdoors. How things have changed, writes Krish Sripada.

Cricket is a very interesting game. It has changed more in the last 10 years than most games have changed since their inception. Krish Sripadi investigates.

When Cinderella Man James Braddock, was taking a shot at heavyweight championship, against the intimidating Max Baer, many thought, he wouldn’t even survive to tell the tale, writes Krish Sripada as he previews India in Australia.

MS Dhoni will miss the first Test against Australia in Brisbane as well as the final two One-Day Internationals against Sri Lanka as he continues to rest.

The International Cricket Council has named Angelo Mathews and MS Dhoni as captains of its Test and One-Day International teams of the year.

MS Dhoni has been rested for the first three One-Day Internationals against Sri Lanka and Virat Kohli will lead India in his absence.

A welcome return to form for batsman Virat Kohli helped India beat the West Indies by 48 runs in the second One-Day International at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi.

Chennai Super Kings beat Perth Scorchers by 13 runs in Group A of the Champions League T20 to give themselves a good chance of reaching the semi-finals, simultaneously knocking Perth out.

Indian captain MS Dhoni has taken full responsibility for his side's three-run defeat to England in the one-off Twenty20 International at Edgbaston, where he was unable to guide his side to victory.

Indian captain MS Dhoni says his side's failed attempt to chase down 295 to win the fifth and final One-Day International against England at Headingley was scuppered by losing 'soft wickets'.

A happy Indian captain MS Dhoni professes himself satisfied with the way his fast bowlers, spin bowlers and batsman are performing during the One-Day International series against England.

Is MD Dhoni still the right man to lead India? If he isn't, then who are the contenders to replace him? Ayyaz Malik runs the rule over some of the leading candidates.

MS Dhoni praised the efforts of his spinners - particularly part-timers Suresh Raina and Ambati Rayudu - as well as his team's fielding following India's six-wicket win over England in the second ODI at Trent Bridge.

Indian captain MS Dhoni has paid tribute to the century Suresh Raina scored against England in the second One-Day International in Cardiff, saying it was crucial to the outcome of the match.

Team India has lost another Test series overseas. They looked terrible in all departments of the game throughout the series. Anurag Sinha argues that now, major changes are required.

After collapsing to an innings defeat to England in the fifth and final Test at The Kia Oval, India have been fined heavily for maintaining a slow over-rate during England's innings of 486.

We seem to be saying it a lot this summer, but this was another disappointing day for India after being bowled out for just 148. They just lack the technique to bat in England and they lack the application as well.

When this Test series started it was not only a test of two teams but also of the two captains who were under enormous pressure because of their recent results, writes Anurag Sinha.

Following England's innings-and-54-run win over India on day three of the fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford, captain Alastair Cook confirms that Stuart Broad has a broken nose after he was hit while batting.

What can I say about India's performance at Old Trafford? No passion at all. No pride, no passion, a gutless performance, absolutely embarrassing.
