Summer Camp Diary @ Cricket India Academy, Chennai


I am Ajay krishnan from chennai .

i have attended this coaching for 4 days. And I have really enjoyed every day of it. I would like to tell what I was doing on the four days. We had 2 coaches, Ashish Sir  and Abhishek Sir from Cricket India Academy.

Monday: The first day when we came our coach told us to tell our names, were we came from and why we liked cricket .When my turn came I was proud to introduce myself. Then we played a game called “handball”,  I liked the game very much. Our 2 coaches divided us in to younger batch and the elder batch. Abhishek Sir took me with the elder batch and Ashish Sir took the younger batch. In the elder batch Abhishek Sir asked the team to ball first. He kept only the middle stump and I was  able to hit it thrice.  Then we played a match. It was really interesting playing in a turf ground.

Tuesday: The second day we played an interesting activity and I enjoyed it very much. Everybody was given a chance to ball and then few of us were asked to bat. After a few minutes we played a match where my teams captain won the toss  and elected to bat first. Sadly, it was time to go home before the match could get over. Our coach gave us homework where we had to mark the fielding positions.

Wednesday: Our homework was checked the next day and was well discussed. We then did a new  activity and then we continued the previous day’s match. Our coach made all of us to relax with our eyes closed at the end of the session.

Thursday: We had a catching activity.  We were taught the proper way to keep our hands while catching the ball.  We also underwent batting practice.  Abhishek sir, was very encouraging which gave me a lot of confidence.



Looking forward for the rest of the coaching days J

Data in Sports.

Introduction to Data in Sports Sport in today’s world has extended beyond just the playing field. What was earlier two teams entering the field with textbook strategies, has today boomed into a platform with detailed analysis and pin-pointing to every detail. An athlete or a team’s data can show us where their strengths and weaknesses lie. It tells us a player’s performance probability based on past results: How many runs has Virat Kohli scored in the death overs of knockout games? How many penalties has Neymar missed during Champions League Games? …and so on Studying data helps teams prepare for the unexpected. Any change that the opposition makes before or during the game can be instantly studied by a team of analysts to see how it will impact the rest of the game. For example: in an ODI game between India and Australia at Adelaide, the team batting order shows that Tendulkar was moved from #3 to #5. Australia can then look at data to understand Tendulkar

Mithali Raj, admire her

Admire Her - Mithali Raj Traditionally, cricket is regarded as a gentlemen’s game however there have been some massive developments in the game recently. Women’s cricket has been a hot topic of discussion today. People still think that women cannot play cricket but why not give them a chance to play such a beautiful sport. In India, women’s cricket is not promoted at all. People don’t watch it at all and even cricket lovers hardly know any names of players who represent the Indian Women’s cricket team. Today I am going to talk about a player who fought against all such odds and is one of the finest woman’s cricketers India has produced. She is an inspiration to all young female cricketers who aspire to play for their country. She is Mithali Raj. Early Life She was a sleepy girl in her childhood. Her father wanted to develop in her the habit to get up early, so he dragged her along to her brother's cricket coaching

It is important to build the ‘Trust factor’ in Cricket

Recently there was an another verdict on spot fixing which again left its fans wondering, “ Cricket – A Gentleman’s game anymore ?” We hear often about how teamwork, getting ahead of the competition and winning apply both to high performing business units and sports teams. Often under-analysed, yet frequently dominating our headlines is how both sports and business are too often plagued by scandals. Two recent glaring examples are the high profile IPL fixing episode and involvement of few Pakistan players in spot fixing that outlined how all this hurting a normal cricket fan who devotes so much of his time and money only to see his favourite team winning or favourite player performing. These stories affect public faith in the sport and raise questions. After all the credibility of the sport is vital for the relationship to blossom. Should I buy the ticket of a match which result is already decided? Are professional athletes really competing and thus deserve their fan’s passio
