Next Contender for the Fab5

Who will be the next contender for the Fab5? The common names that comes to our minds are Sehwag, Harbhajan, Zaheer Khan and Kaif. Speaking of Kaif, he's currently 30 years and is unable to get his position back in the team. Way back in 2004, Kaif stood strong with the wall (Dravid) and saved India from losing many matches. Virender Sehwag has made 6000 ODI runs and is the 6th batsman from India to achieve this feat. He seems unstoppable with his devastating form. Harbhajan has taken 500 wickets (300 in tests and 200 in ODIs) and can be a well future senior cricketer, Zaheer Khan has been somewhere or the other continuing with his average to good form since the last Decade, he is one probability. Now, wait for the future. Time will tell, who will be the next Fab5 cricketer.

Dravid's bad form continues..

Rahul Dravid departs by making a single-digit score in the first innings of the first test against England. His bad form continues with his test average of just over 26 in this year. The main question on everyone's mind is..where is Dravid? Where is the wall which had made 10k runs in test cricket? Is he growing too old? Should he retire? All cricket knowledgeable people know that he didn't become the wall just like that and will return to form very soon.

Our hopes are with Dravid and we hope that he makes a blasting concrete exit from test cricket whenever he retires.

End of the Fab5??

Is it the end of Fab5? The most popular question has arised now? With Kumble and Ganguly's retirement, we also get to see that many people tell VVS Laxman unfit inspite of his 2 half centuries and a double century. Dravid is in poor form but continues to be an automatic choice for the tests. The time has now come for Dravid also to get out. Sachin is still there, but he can't play in his usual technique as his friends "the other 4" are lingering. What will happen? Only time can tell...............

Sachin Tendulkar

"Men are not always the master of their fates"












A young lad named Sachin set out in cricket world to become a bowler and find a place in the team, but fate is one thing, he became a batsman & then became the masters of master. Master Blaster!!! No one will doubt if you say that Sachin is the best player of the world. Sachin is the best player. has all the records which prove that he is the best.
Maximum No of Test Runs : 12,000+
Maximum No of ODI Runs: 16,000+
Maximum ODI Centuries : 41
Maximum Test Centuries: 40
Maximum ODI Half-Centuries: 90
Maximum matches played in ODI / Tests : 450+ / 154

V V S Laxman

Vangipurrapu Venkata Sai Laxman (VVS Laxman) is a player from hyderabad. He is the only automatic choice for test matches except for Dravid. He was named "Very Very Special" by one of the best wicketkeepers in Australian history, Adam Gilchrist after his scintillating knock of 281* at Eden Gardens in Kolkata in 2001 against Australia. This match was out of India's hands while they were trailing by 200+ runs in 1st innings. The 281 by Laxman led India to victory, not only the match but the series. He is the youngest of the fab5 and his good form continues as he hit a half century and unbeaten 200 against Australia in the earlier series. 33 year old Vangipurrapu Laxman is all set to blast till his retirement and become at least the 5th player in Indian history to make 7000+ test runs!

Rahul Dravid

Better known as the wall, Rahul Dravid is a cricketer who looks to defend and stand as strong as wall from defeat. Rahul Dravid has been playing for over a decade and has made 10,000 runs in ODI as well as in test cricket. He is known as the wall due to his defensive batting and he is an automatic choice for a test match. He is undergoing bad form nowadays, hope he makes a blasting entry and prove the media channels wrong just like Yuvraj Singh and Dada did. Apart from defensive batting, we can also conclude that he is a good T20 batsman also. We can prove it by his blasting 60+ with only 33 balls. Although Royal Challengers, Bangalore lost that match, we can prove that Dravid is unquestionable and unputdownlable


Not only this, Shane Warne, the outstanding bowler of Australia told that Dravid is not only a wall, he is a fortress!

Only 2 years more to go!

With Anil Kumble and Sourav Ganguly's retirement, and according to the IPL contract as heard of before, they will play IPL for two more years. After Ganguly's exit from IPL, Ricky Ponting will take over as the Kolkata Knight Riders Captain.

Anil Kumble

Only cricketer in Indian History to get 600+ wickets. 619 in fact. Kumble played his first match in 1990 when he began as a sloppy apparantice but after few years his wicket hauling continued. The time continued till 1996-97 when he took his 10 wicket haul in a single innings (10-74). This was his best innings. He took over as the Indian Captain in his 118th match. The record of being the captain after the most number of matches was that of Glen McGrath (115 tests) which was broken by him. No matter, many people put of questions on his inefficient captainship but his captainship was full of patience and power! Hope Dhoni continues Anil's succession in a royal way!

Sourav Ganguly

There was no doubt that this man's a struggler. In the modern days, as we all know..he struggled with his position in the team from a captain when Greg Chappell made his entry as a coach. He was out of the team for 10 months and then made his return with a bang but alas, his comeback only remained till test matches as newcomers had a whole lot of better performances. He says "The easiest way is to quit but the tough part is to carry on". He carried on till a glorious 102, 85 against Australia in the last series. (Till the date when the post is carried) and hopes to make a splendid retirement with a glory. Hats off to the best captain in Indian history.

Sourav Ganguly




Way back in 1992, when Pakistan had won the world cup, Indian team had gone to the dogs. The players performed very sloppily and defeats were coming in bunches. That time, a tiger made his debut in world cricket which we know as Sourav Ganguly. Sourav Ganguly holds the record of maximum number of sixes by an Indian (190) which is now the world's 3rd most after Shahid Afridi of Pakistan (256) and the extraordinary cricketer of Sri Lanka, Sanath Jayasuriya (275). Sourav Ganguly made the fastest 7000, 8000 and 9000 runs in ODI cricket which finally led the desicion to make him the captain in 2001, when the team was struggling with Sachin Tendulkar as its captain.
