MS Dhoni and his boys seek first series win on South African pitches
A cavalier definition of street-smartness would be ‘intelligence gained outside of school’. And given that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the master of all things unconventional, it is unlikely that he would have heard of Alfred S Humphrey, the renowned management consultant who formulated the technique, SWOT analysis. A key objective of the system is to help business ventures identify their weaknesses and convert them into strengths which, ultimately, would boost profit. In that sense, the India skipper is pretty much like an entrepreneur vying to double, or even triple, his returns.

Sachin Tendulkar: The final countdown
Sachin Tendulkar’s most famous fan, Sudhir Gautam, (yes, the one with body paint and all) blew his conch shell and the sonic blasts reverberated through the cauldron that is Wankhede Stadium. It was not synchronised but soon out stepped the batsman, on whom the whole country is focused, and climbed down the long flight of stairs leading from the dressing room.

Sachin Tendulkar is Sachin Tendulkar because of what he is from the inside says Shardashram Vidyamandir principal
The room in Sharadashram Vidyamandir comprising Sachin Tendulkar’s memorabilia, in many ways, represents the rich legacy of the school as a cricketing factory. It produced out Praveen Amre, Tendulkar, Vinod Kambli, Amol Muzumdar, Ajit Agarkar, Atul Ranade and many other top class cricketers from a small building on the streets of Dadar in the latter half of the 1980s.

Sachin Tendulkar and the Argumentative Indian – Part 2 of 2
I had watched him score 119 not out in Manchester — an innings that announced his arrival on the world stage. I was in England those days. A few months later, I moved to Australia and there, I watched every ball he faced when he made 148 at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 1992 in the company of Ravi Shastri. But more importantly I watched in awe, with pride and a growing sense of admiration as he braved the pace of Craig McDermott, Merv Hughes, Paul Rieffel, Mike Whitney and Tom Moody when he made 114 at Perth a month later. I had watched the young boy grow up to be a man — and then a legend, all in the space of 18 months. During that defining Perth innings, the Boy Wonder had become a man. To date, it remains the best innings I have watched Tendulkar play.
