Anand covers the Indian team across formats and is a familiar presence at Ranji Trophy matches, where he scouts emerging talent from the south. His IPL analysis is widely read for its blend of statistical insight and on‑ground reporting. A recipient of the S. Rangarajan Memorial Award and his newspaper’s top sports honour, Anand is also the custodian of a growing digital archive of Indian cricket statistics, which he draws upon to enrich every piece.
