News of all that's transpired on and off the football field
Following the dismal showing on the recent tours of South Africa and New Zealand, the calls to strip Mahendra Singh Dhoni of the Test team's captaincy are growing. Bikash Mohapatra looks back on how the predecessors of India's most successful captain were relieved of the mantle.
The ongoing series against England may be another lost cause, but not exactly a failure from Team India's point of view. The return to England shores has certainly yielded better results, all the criticism notwithstanding, says Bikash Mohapatra.
The exclusion of Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan was expected. The decision, which took a long time coming, in all likelihood, brings the curtains down on the One-day careers of the trio, says Bikash Mohapatra.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni goes into the third Test against England aware that a win will help him equal Sourav Ganguly's record at the Eden Gardens. Bikash Mohapatra on the landmark that awaits.

'When you are doing well you need to keep addressing the weaknesses. This is something that the Indian team has never done,' former Test spinner Maninder Singh tells Bikash Mohapatra/Rediff.com
The venue for the second Test is the Basin Reserve in Wellington, traditionally a seamer-friendly ground. Considering the conditions, India needs to sacrifice a batsman to bolster the seam attack. The best Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his men can hope for is winning the second and final Test and squaring the series. Winning, though, says Bikash Mohapatra, will only mitigate the humiliation suffered, and not absolve the team of consistent underperformance.
The auction for the seventh edition of the Indian Premier League will feature 219 capped players (169 Indians and 50 overseas cricketers) and 292 uncapped (255 Indians and 37 overseas players). Bikash Mohapatra picks the key Indian players likely to be pursued by the franchises.
The hallowed venue, says Bikash Mohapatra, has inadvertently played its part in ensuring several special moments in the Mumbai batsman's fledgling career.
