Hi, I’m Arjun 👋

Founder & Writer at OverTheWicket.in

Cricket isn’t just a sport for me. It’s a lifelong obsession. From analysing field placements and DRS technology to breaking down IPL strategies and player careers, I love turning complex cricket concepts into simple, easy-to-understand content for fans. Being the author of this blog makes me happy and I am following my passion!

My goal is simple:
👉 Help cricket lovers understand the game deeper than just scorecards.

My Cricket Journey

I’ve been following cricket since childhood.

I have authoritative experience on playing in local grounds and gullies of my North Kerala Village. Almost every plots in the neighbourhood seemed to be Chepauk, Chinnaswamy and Wankhade for me !! The thrill of tennis/ rubber ball cricket was astonishing and thoughts about those days still makes me skip a heart beat.

I still remember waking up early in the morning before school just to watch the India vs Australia Test series in Australia. Those matches made me fall in love with the game.

I grew up watching and admiring the legends of the 90s and 2000s era, which shaped how I understand cricket today.

Over the last 15+ years, I’ve closely followed:

• Match tactics & captaincy decisions
• Cricket rules and technology (DRS, Hawk-Eye, UltraEdge)
• Player performance and career analysis
• IPL & international cricket trends

This blog started as a passion project and is now growing into a trusted cricket knowledge hub for fans, beginners, and analysts.
