SR Tendulkar’s last test appearance has a special significance – an amazing coincidence
SR Tendulkar’s 200th test – his last test has this special significance. India won the toss and inserted the opposition in this test. SR Tendulkar was appearing in his 100th test when India has won the toss and has appeared in 100 tests when India had lost the toss– An amazing coincidence
Centuries in losing cause in Indian Premier League
The Orange
Cap is an annual cricket award presented to the leading run scorer in the
Indian Premier League. It was introduced on 25 April 2008, a week after the
start of the inaugural season of the IPL. The batsman with most runs in the
tournament during the course of the season would wear the Orange Cap while
fielding, with the overall leading run-scorer at the conclusion of the
tournament winning the actual Orange Cap award on the day of the season’s
final. Brendon McCullum became the first player to wear the Orange Cap and
Shaun Marsh became the first winner of the award.
The then IPL
chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi said of the initiative, “Cricket is
often remembered and recorded as statistics and not by material distinctions.
The DLF Indian Premier League will create a distinction for the best performing
batsman, which will be cherished and valued by each player through this
initiative. The purpose of this initiative is to be innovative, create another
unique piece of history that sets the DLF Indian Premier League apart from the
crowd, and to reward outstanding achievements by the players.”

PURPLE CAP
The Purple
Cap is an annual cricket award presented to the leading wicket-taker in the
Indian Premier League. After the introduction of Orange Cap on 25 April 2008,
the Indian Premier League announced the introduction of the Purple Cap on 13
May 2008. The bowler with most wickets in the tournament during the course of
the season would wear the Purple Cap while fielding, with the overall leading
wicket-taker at the conclusion of the tournament winning the actual Purple Cap
award on the day of the season’s final. In case of a tie, the bowler with
superior economy rate would hold the Purple Cap.
The then IPL
chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi said of the initiative, “We have seen
over the course of the inaugural season of the League so far that bowlers have just
as important a role to play in winning T20 matches as batsmen do.”

FAIR PLAY AWARD
The Fair Play
Award is given after each season to the team with the best record of fair play.
The winner is decided on the basis of the points the umpires give to the
teams. After each match, the two
on-field umpires, and the third umpire, scores the performance of both the
teams. A team can be awarded a total of ten points per match, out of which four
points are given on the basis of how the team has adhered to the “spirit
of the game” in the opinion of the umpires. The other three criteria are based
on the respect towards to the opposition, the laws of cricket and the umpires.
Each of these three criteria represents 2 points. If a team has got two points
in the criterion, its performance is considered as “good”, whereas
getting one or zero points indicates that its performance is
“average” or “bad” respectively.
The following is the list of 20 batsmen who have scored
identical fifties in a test. Duleep Mendis of Sri Lanka is the only batsman in this list to score
identical centuries – 105 in a test. He
scored 105 in each innings against India at Chennai in 1982-83.
