Match Coverage

Tendulkar turns it around
Given that Sachin Tendulkar is celebrating 20 years in the game, I have selected a photo of him
Man rings players, who hang up on him
Maybe there was nothing in it
Spirited India clinch Border-Gavaskar Trophy in nail biting finish
Thirty two wickets in the series alone was not enough for HarbhajanSingh
Series interestingly poised as Harbhajan works his magic again
The next time the Australians come to India, they might well ask for achange in playing conditions
India hold the advantage
As expected, the third Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium produced high quality cricket over the first three days
