Introduction When the IPL was being designed in 2007, the people who built it sat down and had a conversation about what kind of cricket it would produce.

Introduction Most great players move around. They go where the money is, where the title chances are, where the franchise needs them. MS Dhoni at CSK is the exception.

Then the opposing captain uses a rule to… Continue reading The Rule That Broke Cricket’s Brain — How the Impact Player Changed Everything

Introduction There are sports stories and then there is Rinku Singh’s. His father delivered cooking gas cylinders in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh — a physically demanding job that earned just enough for the family’s basic needs. Cricket equipment was a luxury. Tournament fees were a strain. There were moments, family members have said, when Rinku nearly… Continue reading Rinku Singh — From Near-Sweeper to National Hero in Five Sixes
Introduction The 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal was the most serious crisis in the competition’s history. Police investigations, arrests, court proceedings, and a Supreme Court-appointed committee examining the governance of Indian cricket — all of it followed from what appeared to be a relatively limited betting conspiracy that was discovered mid-tournament. When the dust settled, two franchises — Chennai Super Kings… Continue reading The CSK-RR Ban — IPL’s Darkest Chapter and Cricket’s Most Complete RedemptionÂ
Introduction The story of Chris Gayle in the IPL contains one of sport’s most satisfying reversals. He was not selected in the inaugural 2008 auction. He was released by Kolkata Knight Riders after underwhelming seasons and went through subsequent auction processes without being purchased at his base price. By the time Royal Challengers Bengaluru acquired him as a replacement player in 2011 for… Continue reading Chris Gayle: Unsold Twice, Then IPL’s Greatest Scorer
