'I've let go of that fear of failing'

AB de Villiers analyses his batting and hits several theories out of the park

Refreshed Jadeja rediscovers his mojo

Top fitness, a bit of batting, sharpness in the field, and deadly accuracy when bowling... that has been Ravindra Jadeja's recipe for success in Test cricket previously, and it was on show once again in Mohali

'We have played spin relatively badly' - Kohli

India have won the first Test emphatically, but Virat Kohli, their captain, conceded that India's batsmen had been playing "relatively badly" recently

07-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

Spinners win India another three-day home Test

It was like Test cricket had gone asleep for one hour on the third morning before India lost eight wickets for 39 runs, and yet spun South Africa out to take a 1-0 lead

07-Nov-2015•The Report by Sidharth Monga

Blame the batting, not pitch, says Ashwin

06-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

Ashwin's presence breeds India's belief

India's batsmen squandered the advantage of batting first on the opening day but R Ashwin was around to pick up the ball on the second day

06-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

Not a good cricket wicket - Elgar

South Africa's Dean Elgar has voiced his displeasure with what he believed was a "result wicket" in Mohali

05-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

India need not be adamant to play five bowlers

India looked a batsman short on a track on which they might not need the extra bowler, and the batsmen playing the match weren't exactly up to scratch either

05-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

India's reserve players released to play in Ranji Trophy

Rohit Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Stuart Binny have been released by the Indian team management, and will turn up for their respective Ranji Trophy sides in the round starting on November 7

Four-bowler strategy 'highly unlikely' - Kohli

A day after Ravi Shastri said that, given the conditions, India may not be averse to a six-batsman line-up, Test captain Virat Kohli has said that playing fewer than five bowlers is highly unlikely.

04-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

Jimmy Cook's short spell

He faced South Africa's first ball in international cricket on readmission and their first ball in a home Test soon after. Unfortunately, it didn't go much further

04-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga

Ashwin and Philander - twins separated by conditions

The careers of two vastly different bowlers from two vastly different cricketing cultures have followed a near-identical path: unplayable in helpful conditions and sometimes unselectable in unfriendly environs

04-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

India lean towards three spinners, and Dhawan

India have several questions on the make-up of the playing XI to mull ahead of the Mohali Test, including how many bowlers of which type to pick - and their nets session has provided some clues

03-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

India players uneasy about 'umpire's call'

R Ashwin and a few other India players have expressed objections against the 'umpire's call' aspect of the DRS

03-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

Settled India up against hardened tourists

With most bases covered, India are expected to turn a bleak home season around, but for that they will have to break down the only side that has bucked the trend of little Test success on tours

03-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

Intrigue around 'dry' Mohali pitch

Historically, the Mohali pitch has had a reputation for good true bounce but the focus, ahead of the first Test between India and South Africa, is on the seemingly dry appearance of the track

02-Nov-2015•Sidharth Monga in Mohali

Do India need an ODI revamp?

India need fresh ideas to rejuvenate an ODI team that has failed to adapt to new regulations that call for greater batting depth and hitting power

27-Oct-2015•Sidharth Monga

Not all doom and gloom in ad-hoc Rajasthan

With no kingdom to build, no voters to please and no money to save, Rajasthan's ad-hoc committee have brought to the fore an administrative model many associations can take a cue from
