Cricket Today - Weekly 2017

Book excerpt: It was suppose to be the wedding of the year but the way it was planned and executed, calling it secretive wedding of the year won’t be a wrong idea. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, the outspoken couple, finally took a pledge of spending their life together, getting married in Italy. Media and fans tried their best to know the truth but kudos to planners, who ensured everything was kept under wraps. All eyes are on Murali Vijay and his role on the bouncy and fast tracks of South Africa. After being sidelined for long, the Indian opener has finally made a grand entry, scoring runs in the Test series against Sri Lanka. If Murali Vijay is in top form, Ajinkya’s wobbling batting has left a big question mark on his form. He was a mere traveler against Sri Lanka, losing his wicket cheaply and putting his team in trouble. Once hailed for his batsmanship, Ajinkya is no more the same player in Test cricket. There is no denying the fact that he can comeback easily, considering his career so far but he will have to do basics right in the future assignments. There is more to read from cricket in this issue.
