Now that MS Dhoni no longer seems to be in the scheme of things, the selectors have put their faith in the young Rishabh Pant and the veteran Dinesh Karthik as the two wicket-keeper batsmen for India.

But there’s sometthing about these Wolverines that truly qualifies as March Madness. Michigan has made more 3-pointers than any major conference school this season. They pour in 9.5 treys per game and have knocked down 22 in the NCAA Tournament, best of any team still alive.
