IPL 2011: Of Paul Valthaty, Preity Zinta and professionalism
Who is Paul Valthaty?
Who is this guy, who appears out of nowhere, and single-handedly takes the reigning IPL champions, Chennai Super Kings, to the cleaners?
188 ought to have been good enough—a match-winning total.
But no, Paul “Blazing” Valthaty had other ideas.
Like his Biblical namesake, he rewarded the faith in him with an explosive knock under pressure.
What they said and what they definitely didn’t mean: Tamim Iqbal

Tennis Bytes: Wozniacki,Azarenka triumph and Sweeting,Andujar win first titles
Even as the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters took off on Sunday, the 10th of April, 2011, there was more tennis happening across the world.

Indian babies born on April 2, 2011 to be awarded cash prize by BCCI (Satire)
The BCCI has decided to extend its munificence—following Team India’s World Cup triumph—to every baby born on the 2nd of April, 2011.

Once upon a star, a star is born.
Is Anirudha Srikkanth is a star in the making?
In the first game of IPL4, the young dasher gave spectators a glimpse of his talent.
He has a cool head and a great temperament.
Opening for Chennai SuperKings, the right-hand bat composed 64 off 55 balls which included six 4’s and two 6’s to propel his team to a competitive 153 in their essay.
Victory by his team off the last ball of the final over ensured that he was declared player of the match.
Insuring World Cup events and IPL players , at a price (Humour)
Almost all top guns in the IPL have been insured by their respective teams, ranging from Sachin Tendulkar (Rs. 44.97 crores) to Gautam Gambhir (Rs. 11.64 crores).
Wouldn’t it have been a great idea for the ICC to secure insurance cover against original trophies locked down by bureaucratic Customs officials? The eventualities covered could include embarrassment caused by disclosures that ‘hugged-and-kissed’ trophy is a replica, free World Cup tickets demanded by said officials and sundry miscellaneous damages including loss-of-face.
