Great news for all cricket crazy fans in India, were not able to see the current India Srilanka one day series due to not having ten sports connection.

The proportion of this revenue would be 75:25 with Ten Sports, official broadcaster of India-Sri Lanka series. So by the end of the day Ten Sports will receive a 3/4th share of the total revenue. Earlier today, ten sports agreed to share the broadcasting right with DD for the remaining Cricket matches of this on-going series.

The bench had finally announced that the y were happy to see that the private channel had agreed to share rights to Doordarshan that will give a large number of Indian audience to see the live ODIs between India and Sri Lanka.

Yes, it is true. Rain can rescue India from loosing the current one day international cricket series with Sri Lanka.

If rain is graceful to Indians, then in the worst case scenario, they can only get the series draw if they perform badly.

Currently they are standing at 2-1 in the series of five one day international matches.
Due to heavy rain on the Tuesday the match was called off by the umpires and they decided to have the match on the reserve day.

It will be interesting to see how the rain act today.

Indian cricket team captain Mahendra singh Dhoni has blamed the crowd for the poor performance of his players during the third one day international..

Dhoni said, “Since Sri Lanka had a colorful crowd it becomes difficult to spot the ball in the night especially after it (ball) becomes a bit dirty”. India won that game by 33 runs thus taking a 2-1 lead in the series. Dhoni took the India to a good victory by leading from the front, he scored 76 runs.

But I think only Dhoni’s boys were distracted by the colorful crowd and the Sri Lankan who were brilliant is the field as usual have become habitual of the colorful crowd.

It thinks it will be good for Indian Cricket team if they practice hard in the field, so that they can reach near to the Fielding standards of the other countries.

So Mr Dhoni, just take your boys in the field and work hard with them instead of commenting on the crowd, if you will drain sweat in the heat, then your boys will automatically have a shield against the distraction caused by the colorful crowd.
