Javelin’s Next Gen: Yashvir follows in Neeraj’s footsteps

India’s latest entrant in the 80m club, javelin thrower Yashvir Singh’s father Rai initially didn’t want his son to pursue athletics. When Yashvir was around 12, the family moved from Bhiwani to Delhi so that he could be admitted to a private school and progress academically. “Someone told me that the school produced a lot of CBSE toppers so we sent him there,” says Rai. But Yashvir not only failed to make progress but barely cleared his exams. Both Yashvir and his father were convinced it was time to return to what he was good at – sports. “Padai hui nahi, aur sports toh khun mein heen hai. (He couldn’t do much in academics but he’s got sports in his genes),” says Rai, a former national-level athlete who is now a coach. Yashvir, who breached the 80m mark at the Indian Grand Prix last m...

Knee buckles on Mary Kom’s farewell competition plans at CWG trials, five months shy of 40

The Commonwealth Games in Birmingham was to be a celebratory farewell parade for six-time world champion Mary Kom. Now the 39-year-old, five months short of her 40th birthday, which is the cut-off age for amateur boxing at major events, could walk into the sunset without a final testimonial tournament podium photo. Fate had a cruel twist in store for the boxing legend. At the trials for the CWG, the London Olympics bronze medalist lost her footing early as she swayed away in the first round of the semifinals (48 kg) against two-time Youth Olympics champion Ritu Ghanghas. Mary shrieked as she fell and slowly got back on her feet. But she struggled to move freely, was in pain again and clutched her knee. Had she continued, it would have been foolhardy. Nitu was declared the winner via ref...

India versus South Africa: Rassie Van der Dussen’s unassuming yet effective batting has taken him a long way

At one juncture of South Africa’s chase, Rishabh Pant was heard yelling playfully at Avesh Khan: “Isko strike par rakh, Miller ko mat dena (keep him on strike, not Miller).” The Indian ’keeper-captain was referring to Rassie van der Dussen, who at that precise moment was in the middle of an ordeal, frozen like a man who had stepped onto Alaska in beachwear. 🚨 Limited Time Offer | Express Premium with ad-lite for just Rs 2/ day 👉🏽 Click here to subscribe 🚨 His timing was awry, the placement off-kilter, and as the required run rate got steeper, Pant’s playful instruction to Khan rang true.

On this day in 1983, India ended West Indies’ 8-year unbeaten World Cup run | Cricket News – Times of India

LONDON: On this day in 1983, the Indian cricket team made history by ending West Indies' unbeaten run at the World Cup events that lasted for eight years by defeating them by 34 runs at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in their group B tie of the tournament. West Indies were the favourites heading into the match and the tournament in general. Not much was expected from India, whose run during the first two World Cups consisted of only one win and five losses. On the other hand, the Windies had won the 1975 and 1979 World Cups. Put to bat first by the Windies, India were off a shaky start, losing their openers Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth by the time team's score was 46.

Immediately apologized to Kohli after running him out in Adelaide Test, reveals Rahane | Cricket News – Times of India

MUMBAI: While he will always cherish leading India to a famous Test series triumph over Australia during the tour Down Under in the 2020-21 season, there's one memory that troubled Ajinkya Rahane a lot at the beginning of the series. In the first pink/ball Test at Adelaide in December 2020, Rahane was involved in a bad mix-up with Virat Kohli, which resulted in the Indian captain being run out when he was batting well, for 74. Kohli left the tour after that game for the birth of his child. At that point, Kohli and Rahane, who was the vice-captain, were putting together a fine partnership. Kohli, especially, was going great guns and almost making the Australians believe that India was going to take the match away from them. Rahane, who was the batsman facing the attack with Kohli on the ...
