  • Prem Ranjan Memorial Cricket Tournament | Team Preview – HS18

    Captain: Navaneeth CV A new team out there? HS18’s maiden campaign in Prem Ranjan was not a fruitful one. Last year, HS18 had three PhD scholars in their playing eleven.

  • Prem Ranjan Memorial Cricket Tournament | Semi-Final 1 | HS15 vs. Scholars

    There was something in the air that day. One thriller followed another. While the first match was a manufactured heart stopping scenario (my fault, I know, I know), there was absolutely no doubt about the second. The semifinal was dreamlike and of epic proportions.
