I am an Indian, born in New Delhi, now living in Australia. I love cricket, like any other Indian. I love the way the game is played and how the strategies are made and put into action by various teams. I used to play a lot of cricket when I was in high school, however since starting university and working, that has come to a full stop. I do follow the game quite regularly and am a harsh critic of the Indian team.
