The Basics of the Cricket
In his time the Indiana Jones of Indian cricket, Srikkanth's batting style was entertaining, innovative and explosive. Indeed, his approach came as a whiff of fresh air and, not unexpectedly, he was a great crowd puller.
A swashbuckling opening batsman cast in the Mushtaq Ali mould, Srikkanth could destroy the strongest and most fearsome attacks in the world by fearless pulling, hooking and driving. But there were times when he could be dismissed by some pretty ordinary bowling.
Krish Srikkanth during his playing years as a member and captain of the Indian cricket team was known for his swash buckling and aggressive batting style. He has used his years of knowledge and expertise to author this blog on cricket techniques

A couple of incidents over the last week or so has brought to the fore how, the winning at all costs mentality has changed the mindset of the players.
