Why Dhoni needs to speak out

It can't do Indian cricket any good when there is rampant speculation over the motives and methods of its highest-profile player

From pioneer to pariah

There is no one in the BCCI with Lalit Modi's marketing savvy, but don't shed any tears for his expulsion. He was far from an innocent victim

The sound of silence

Gauging from the official broadcast of the IPL you'd be hard-pressed to guess there has been a spot-fixing scandal over the past few days

Give Tendulkar the benefit of the doubt

Leadership hasn't been his strength but statesmanship has come almost naturally to him

28-Apr-2012•Jayaditya Gupta

Blame the BCCI, not Gavaskar and Shastri

The two commentators are merely the messengers. The problem is with the medium and the message, and the board wants to control all three

An opportunity for a clean-up

The scrapping of two IPL franchises just may be the opportunity the league needs to fashion itself as a world-class enterprise, but will the BCCI take it up?

Amin a contrast to flamboyant Modi

The new IPL chairman brings to the table inscrutability, a low profile, a respectability and credibility among his peers, professional competence and an aversion to controversy.

BCCI bitten by its own buzzword

The BCCI under Sharad Pawar's presidency has made a mockery of the vision document it released in 2005

25-Apr-2010•Jayaditya Gupta

Enough with the secrecy

The Kochi franchise ruckus may finally force the BCCI into being transparent. About time too

14-Apr-2010•Jayaditya Gupta

What about the arm around the shoulder?

Ravindra Jadeja's ban by the IPL raises the question: do our young cricketers have the sort of support system they need?

A case of misplaced outrage

It's not easy to assign blame for the fiasco over the exclusion of Pakistani players from the third season of the IPL

BCCI v the world

The Indian board's foot-dragging and muscle-flexing over the drug-testing issue is typical

Anatomy of Kolkata's disaster

How did the most glamorous team in the IPL become a cautionary tale only halfway into the season?

Many questions, no answers

India's selectors had a lot of explaining to do, particularly about the inclusion of Sourav Ganguly, but there was no open, transparent media interaction

Market rules, ok

Success is everything and all else be damned. The IPL has brought football-style despotism into cricket

Beware the football threat

The IPL's biggest competition in India may come from an unexpected quarter - the English Premier League

This game has just started

The BCCI faces a problem largely of its own making because it has sown the seeds for the ICL to flourish. But the solution, too, lies in its own hands

20-Aug-2007

Wake up and smell the opportunity

The ICL may just be a blessing in disguise for the BCCI. Pity they don't seem to be able to recognise it
