I just get the feeling that Ravi Shastri should stop commenting
Ravi Shastri as a commenter surpasses Ravi Shastri as a cricketer. Not in terms of achievement but in terms of years done and money earned. Any tournament involving India involves Ravi Shastri.

The man for all moments - Rahul Dravid
If there is one thing that Rahul Dravid does brilliantly then it is this - steady the innings. It really doesn’t matter if it is a 1 over game or a endless test match, he always does that.

Dhoni is a balanced captain : Tendulkar
Not that Dhoni needs Tendulkar approval but it is a good approval for Dhoni. We at Leg Gully have a love and hate relationship with Dhoni’s captaincy and the golden period he is in. We also argued that he is one of the luckiest captains.
