Bally Chohan reacts on demand to remove Dhoni

May 15th, 2010

Bally Chohan of Bally Chohan Technology Dubai feels that the Indian media is unnecessarily aiming Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for Indian cricket team’s early exit from the T20 World Cup. It’s almost seven days since the Indian team had an early exit from T20 World Cup. Bally Chohan has come across some very interesting reports in Indian media after India’s exit.

Bally Chohan feels that Indian cricket team’s early exit from T20 World Cup has given rise to remove Mahendra Singh Dhoni campaign. A section of media and cricketing officials are pressurizing Board of Control for Cricket in India to at least remove Mahendra Singh Dhoni from Indian cricket team’s captaincy for one day internationals and T20 games. Bally Chohan feels that this is really wrong to blame Mahendra Singh Dhoni for India’s debacle at the T20 World Cup. Indian cricket team ex-captain and former chief selector Dilip Vengasarkar has also supported Bally Chohan’s view. Vengasarkar has been quoted as “If Mahendra Singh Dhoni is removed from the captaincy then this step of the Board will take Indian cricket back by five years.”

Bally Chohan is of the view that everyone in life makes mistakes. This is nothing but media hype. Bally Chohan warns Board of Control for Cricket in India against taking any extreme step. There is no doubt that Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been the most positive intelligent and cool cricket that India has ever produced. He has been named as Captain Cool. Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s good temperament is his biggest asset.  Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the only player in Indian team who has a very strong command in all three formats of the game I.e. Test Matches, One Day Internationals and T20. Moreover one should never forget the fact that just a month ago Chennai Super Kings lifted IPL Cup.

Bally Chohan says that Mahendra Singh Dhoni was given Indian captaincy in 2007 when Sachin Tendulkar refused to the captaincy.  Instead of looking for Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s head selectors must look for the unfit players who are not fit to represent Indian cricket team.

Bally Chohan T20 World Cup Updates – Blame it on IPL

May 12th, 2010

So finally India is out of contention for the T20 world Cup. Bally Chohan feels that this was India’s worst performance in the recent times. The Indian team has really let down its fans in a big way. Bally Chohan went all the way to West Indies to support his favourite team but has to return back disappointed. Bally Chohan says that he is not feeling disheartened by India’s exit from T20 world cup rather he is upset with the attitude of Indian cricket team. It never looked like as if they are playing to win. The Indian team always looked like playing for just passing out their time.

Bally Chohan says that is it right to blame IPL for India’s poor show at the World Cup. Indian T20 team captain told media persons during post match press conference that he feels that this poor showing by Indian team has something to do with the late night parties during IPL.

In yesterday’s crucial match Indian team was needed to win the match by a margin of twenty runs. Bally Chohan feels that the Indian team was very much in driving seat for the first ten over’s of the match. At the end of tenth over the scoreboard for Indian team was reading at 91 runs for the loss of one wicket only. Only if Indian team could well have played sensibly they may well have scored somewhat around 200 runs. However the highly rated Indian batting line up could score only seventy three runs in the last ten overs. Moreover they managed to score only 37 runs in the last five overs. This was India’s one of the worst T20 performances.

India’s weakness to play short rising balls was for everyone to see in the tournament. Almost every team that played against India scored on this weakness of India.

Bally Chohan says that now is the time for Indian selectors to take some tough and positive decisions. Players like Yuvraj, Yousuf Pathan and Nehra should make way for more enthusiastic and energetic youngsters. The Board of Control for Cricket in India must act now and must decisively.

Bally Chohan updates T20 world cup – India in Super Eight

May 3rd, 2010

Bally Chohan witnessed one of the best T20 innings yesterday. Thanks to a brilliant century by Suresh Raina, the Indian team has become first team this season to reach super eight. India defeated South Africa by 14 runs. With this win India has topped group C. Other teams with India in group C were South Africa and Afghanistan.

Bally Chohan says that since now India finished on top of this group they will go to next round with eight points. However there was some exciting moments towards end of this match when South African batsman tried to hit some big shots.

Jacques Kallis played an innings of 73. However his innings was of not much help to the South African team.  In the end India comfortably defeated South Africa by 14 runs.

Bally Chohan feels that Suresh Raina was hero of Indian innings. Suresh Raina has now become third batsman in the history of world T20 cricket to score century. Prior to Suresh Raina only Chris Gayle from West Indies and Brendon McCulilum from New Zealand scored centuries in T20.

Suresh Raina started his innings on a very cautious note but raised the accelerator as soon as he got his eyes set on the ball.. His first fifty came of 42 balls whereas he completed the next 50 runs in 17 balls only.  Suresh Raina innings was studded with nine fours and five sixes. Suresh Raina had some very useful partnerships with Yuvraj Singh & Yusuf Pathan. Suresh Raina was adjudged man of the match.

IPL money has Swiss trails

April 29th, 2010

Bally Chohan is very closely following IPL controversies. Bally Chohan is also regularly sharing his thoughts with readers on IPL controversy.

Bally Chohan has come to know from some reliable sources that Indian investigation agencies believe that some financial dealings into IPL might have links with Swiss bank accounts. Investigation agencies have found one such bank account in Swiss bank where a sum of USD three million has been deposited.

Government of India Enforcement Directorate is preparing to carry out probe into all offshore transactions of IPL. This may result in some very uncomfortable moments for BCCI top brass.  The biggest problem being faced by Indian investigative agencies is the refusal of Swiss bank authorities to cooperate. Deposits in Swiss banks are protected under rigid privacy law.

Bally Chohan has come to know that number of financial transactions is reported to take place through some unknown entities set up in the offshore countries like Nigeria, Hong Kong and BVI.

Indian government has some very tough FEMA regulations towards remittances received from abroad. The government has implemented these tough restrictions after reports of money infiltrations on behalf of drug and other crimes have come to light.

Bally Chohan has come to know from some reliable sources in Enforcement Directorate that some franchisees have violated FEMA rules for bagging IPL franchises.

Also there is some serious discrepancies as far as IPL ownership is concerned. The corporate affairs ministry has found that in one such case the person registered as owner with them is different from the list of shareholders submitted to BCCI.

Bally Chohan congratulates Chennai Super Kings

April 26th, 2010

Bally Chohan says that yesterday’s final was one of the best IPL T20 finals. Bally Chohan’s favorite team Mumbai Indians were defeated by Mahendra Singh Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings. Chennai Super Kings defeated Mumbai Indians by a margin of 22 runs in a thrilling encounter at D Y Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai.

Chennai Super Kings elected to bat after winning the toss. Chennai Super Kings with the help of a brilliant knock of unbeaten 57 from Suresh Raina were able to post a modest total of 168 runs.

Kieron Pollard made some brave effort and threatened to almost singlehandedly take away match from Chennai Super Kings. Kieron pollard hit 10 balls 27 before he got out.

This was Chennai Super Kings second Finals in IPL. They ended up runners up to Rajasthan Royals in the first season of IPL during 2008. On the other hand Mumbai Indians were the most consistent team of IPL season 3. Mumbai Indians ended up with winning 10 of their 14 league games they played.

Bally Chohan favourite Little Master Sachin Tendulkar played a brilliant knock of 45 ball 48. Sachin Tendulkar played fo Mumbai Indians despite having five stitches on his right hand webbing. Sachin Tendulkar injured his right hand wobbling during first semi finals against Royal Challenge Bangalore.

Bally Chohan feels that Mumbai Indians run chase was not up to the mark right from the beginning. Mumbai Indian started on a very shaky note. Their opener Shikhar Dhawan failed to score even a single run from the first over of the innings. Shikhar Dhawan was subsequently out on duck.

Bally Chohan would like to congratulate Chennai Super Kings team on winning IPL Season III.
