In theatre parlance, it’s the last scene before the intermission. Team India’s show will go on after this, but it’s just that the course of events may well hinge on how things shape up at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday (March 20). Both India and West Indies have qualified for the quarterfinals, but the standings will be decided on the result of this final Group B match. In addition to that, the morale of the Indian team needs a boost if they are to do well in the knock-out stages. Barring a couple of brilliant batting stints from Sachin Tendulkar, nothing has gone right for India in the past three weeks. No Indian fan would have liked his team to qualify after beating just a couple of minnows. But that’s precisely what has happened and Virender Sehwag’s fitness concern has made matters even more tricky for the Indian team management. According to captain MS Dhoni, the dashing opener has an “allergy in the knee” and the team management is not sure whether to play him on Sunday. “We will take a call tomorrow,” Dhoni said, leaving enough indications that the Delhi dasher may just sit out.

Sachin Tendulkar doesn’t want to keep it hanging. He has achieved it all, but the century of centuries is a peak that will make him the greatest ever. The Little Master knows all about it and doesn’t want people around him to discuss it. The way he is going about things suggests that he wants to finish off unfinished business as soon as possible.

Indian captain MS Dhoni admitted that the decision to ask Ashish Nehra to bowl the last over instead of Harbhajan Singh proved costly as the hosts lost the nail-biter by three wickets at the VCA Jamtha Stadium in Nagpur on Saturday (March 12).

India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh was named captain of the Pune Warriors squad for the fourth season of the Indian Premier League starting April 8. The new entrant in the hugely successful league also announced its 30-member squad that includes, among others, Graeme Smith, Nathan McCullum, Wayne Parnell, Tim Paine, Jesse Ryder and Agnelo Mathews.

Sachin Tendulkar today added another feather in his cap when he became the first batsman to score 2000 runs in the World Cup. He achieved the feat during his 27-run knock in their group B match against the Netherlands in New Delhi at the Feroz Shah Kotla.
