Sachin Tendulkar says century against England in 2008 Chennai Test his favourite

Sachin Tendulkar ranks his century against England in Chennai in 2008 as his personal favourite because it came after the Mumbai terror attacks, says a report in the DNA. At the first event of the Celebration Series called ‘An Evening with Sachin Tendulkar’, the Master Blaster said: “Personal favourite is the 100 vs England three years ago in Chennai because it came after the Mumbai attacks.”

Meanwhile Virat Kohli’s on-field aggression has been the topic of discussion but the India vice-captain is working hard on changing his attitude with words of wisdom from Mahendra Singh Dhoni.” I have been speaking to MS Dhoni a lot about it. He is one who doesn’t sink or go above that line. He is someone who is always around that calm line. It is important to learn such things from such important people,” said Virat, according to Indian Express.

Meanwhile a report in The Hindu says that with cricket legend Kapil Dev as one of the spectators, Suhail Sharma came up with a resounding batting show that set up Oil and Natural Gas Commission's 74-run victory over defending champion Collage Group in the 37th Lala Raghubir Singh hot weather cricket tournament at the Modern School ground here on Sunday.

Suhail scored 93 off 84 balls with eight fours and four sixes and prospered in the company of in-form Sandeep Sharma, who whipped 81 off 73 balls with 11 fours and one six. Their opening partnership of 177 off 155 balls laid the foundation for ONGC reaching 300 for seven even as India vice-captain Virat Kohli perished after a 17-ball 19. The heat was a challenge for everyone on the field and the ambience took Kapil on a nostalgia trip.
