What innovations we can bring in cricket?

Even though we Indians love cricket, it is not one of the popular games across the world. Football, Tennis will certainly take the top spot in this regard. Cricket is hardly played by 12 countries in its main division while other countries play it in subsequent division (mostly without sponsors and exposure).  I was just thinking, what innovations we can bring in the various formats of the game: T20, One-day and Test to make it more interesting.  1. Why play only 11 players when the squad always has 15 players.  In football, you can substitute three players across 90 minutes. There are a few similarities between cricket and football.  They are team sports and each team has 11 players. Out of these 11 players, 10 moves across the ground and the remaining one holds in position, i.e.,  a goalkeeper in football and a wicket-keeper in cricket. Then, why can we not use the rule of substitutes in cricket? In cricket, we can allow the team to substitute one player in ea...

Top 10 Kdrama on Netflix

Initially, I was not sure whether I would like to watch Korean dramas. However, after watching the first k-drama, I am continuously watching these dramas. I am not sure why do I like these Korean dramas so much. I have tried to watch dramas from other Asian countries like China, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan.

IPL 2020 - Halfway Analysis

It's a cricket season again. The world's most popular cricket competition 'IPL' is underway and has reached its a half-way mark. It will be interesting to see how eight teams have performed so far and who will be likely to reach in a play-off.  As most of you must be aware, there are eight teams in IPL and each team will get to play 14 matches and the top four will reach the play-off. Now, all teams have played seven matches. I think we can predict who will be likely to reach the top four.  Mumbai Indians: So far they looked more complete team in all eight teams. They have the best batting line-up and a very good bowling line-up. They have Rohit, de Cock, Surya Kumar Yadav as the top three followed by power hitters like the Pandya brothers, Pollard and Ishan Kishan. The bowling is backed by two world-class fast bowlers, Bumrah and Boult. Importantly, Pollard, Hardik and Krunal are all-rounders, which add value to their bowling department. The only weakness we can see in...
