Dhoni overtakes sachin as the highest paid in the endorsement field

For somebody like Sachin Tendulkar, who has played cricket for close to 20 years and the other, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who just seemed like yesterday to me when he made his debut, has gone on to overtake Sachin Tendulkar as the highest paid Indian cricketer in terms of endorsements, is quite staggering to me.

India wins the commonwealth series

Finally an exciting match happened and what a match it was! Gripping, tense and good cricket all around.

There were flashes of brilliance in every department but was also lost in very ordinary batting from both the sides. At the end of the day, India came through because they had a better batting line-up than Pakistan and the di...
