Virat Kohli Lauding Our Fitness Means A Lot To Hockey Community, Say Harmanpreet, Manpreet And Hardik

RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports: Praise from one of the worlds most celebrated athletes has struck a special chord with Indian hockey players. Virat Kohli, the legendary Indian cricketer and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) stalwart, highlighted the extraordinary fitness standards of Indian hockey players, acknowledging the physical demands of the sport and calling attention to an often-underappreciated aspect of hockey. During the third edition of the RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit on Tuesday, Kohli shared his thoughts on the importance of fitness in sport and stated, I know people sometimes look at fitness as something extraordinary, but for me its simply what the job demands. It should be the norm, not something celebrated as special. Cricket is in such prime focus in our country that we often overlook other sports. If Im being brutally honest, we are not even 15% of the fitness of an Indian hockey player. If the hockey players watch our training sessions, theyd probably laugh because their sport demands far more, physically, he added. Virat Kohlis comments have resonated deeply within the Indian hockey fraternity, with players viewing the praise not just as a compliment but as recognition of the relentless work and discipline demanded by modern hockey. Reacting to Kohlis comments, Indian mens hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh recalled a recent interaction with the cricket icon and said his words carried great significance for the sport. We had a great conversation around fitness, not too long ago, at an event. He told me hockey is such a fast sport, and was curious to know about our fitness benchmarks. We spoke about the yo-yo test, and when I told him that even our goalkeepers score above 20, he was genuinely surprised. We had a wonderful discussion and shared experiences around training and fitness. I am grateful that someone like Virat Kohli brought attention to the fitness standards of hockey players because ours is one of the fastest and most physically demanding sports in the world. Recognition like this means a lot to the hockey community, Harmanpreet said. Veteran midfielder Manpreet Singh echoed similar sentiments and explained why elite fitness has become inseparable from success in modern hockey. Hockey today is incredibly fast. The ball travels from one end to the other within seconds, and players are constantly moving, pressing, and transitioning. The game demands top-level fitness because our sport is built on speed, endurance, and continuous running. Fitness not only helps you physically but also keeps you mentally prepared to perform at your best. Virat Kohli is among the fittest athletes in the world, and he transformed the fitness culture within Indian cricket. His discipline, commitment, and lifestyle inspire millions. For someone like him to acknowledge our hard work and fitness standards means a lot, and we are thankful that he chose to shine a light on it, said Manpreet. Also, star midfielder Hardik Singh said Kohlis statement validated the physical effort hockey players put in across demanding international schedules. Virat Kohli has performed for India under immense pressure for years and has set standards for fitness that athletes across sports look up to. So when someone of his stature says this, it means a lot to the hockey community. It also sends a message that the fitness of hockey players should never be underestimated. We play back-to-back matches in tournaments like the Pro League and at the Olympics, where we can play seven matches in eleven days with a limited squad. That requires supreme fitness and recovery. Coming from an icon like Virat, these words are huge and very motivating for all of us, Hardik said. Interestingly, Kohlis remarks also reinforce the praise Indian hockey players have received in the past from experts who have worked closely with the team. During the Asia Cup Rajgir, Bihar 2025, renowned South African mental conditioning expert Paddy Upton had spoken glowingly about the dedication and physical standards within the Indian mens hockey team. Upton, who was part of the Indian mens hockey setup ahead of the Paris Olympics and famously worked with the Indian cricket team during their 2011 World Cup triumph under former India captain MS Dhoni, had said that the professionalism and commitment within the hockey squad stood among the best he had seen in elite sport.

The team has already qualified for the IPL 2026 playoffs following a successful league stage that relied on experienced leadership and steady batting performances.

Selectors To Trust Physio Feedback On Rohit, Hardik's Availability For ODIs Against Afghanistan, Says Agarkar

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Chief selector Ajit Agarkar on Tuesday said the selectors will rely on the Indian team physios feedback to determine the availability of senior players Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya for the upcoming ODI series against Afghanistan, adding that though both are on track, they will still be reassessed closer to the matches. Though Rohit and Pandya are in the ODI mix, their availability for the games against Afghanistan in Dharamshala, Lucknow, and Chennai on June 14, 17, and 20, respectively, will depend on them getting fitness clearance. Pandya, whos nursing back spasms, has missed three matches for the Mumbai Indians since last featuring on May 2, with the five-time champions already out of the race for the playoffs. Rohit, meanwhile, has played only seven of MIs 12 games this season after sustaining a right hamstring injury against Royal Challengers Bengaluru earlier in the tournament. I mean, sometimes a player knows whether he can play through it or not. I won't be able to tell you, sitting here, whether they are playing through niggles or not. You certainly want them fit when they come and play or represent the national team. But that's an area of expertise for the trainers and the physios who kind of give me the feedback on where a player is at. I mean, I am not an expert in that area. If they tell me a certain guy is fit, I've got to trust that person when we pick them. Maybe in two weeks, if we are told that those two guys haven't quite made it fitness-wise, we'll take a call accordingly. But at this point, I've been told that they are on track, and we will perhaps assess it. Now, whether they have been playing with something, I am not sure. I go by what the physio tells me, and I have full faith in what the Indian physio tells me, said Agarkar in a virtual press conference. On seam-bowling all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy, who hasnt found a place in the ODI team despite having shown considerable progress with his bowling speeds for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026 after having a stint with renowned fast bowling coach Steffan Jones, Agarkar said the national selection panel is keeping a close eye on him. Its very important, and I think we have all seen a lot of progress. Particularly, we know he has been really good with the bat. But we have seen a lot of progress over the last few months with regard to his bowling as well. It is about giving people exposure. He is still quite young in his career, even though he might have been around since that Australia trip. So the more experience you give them, like you mentioned, going to South Africa, we are going to need guys, ideally, seam bowling all around us. If we can find some that will give us a little bit of balance, he certainly fits the bill. He is fit at this point, and we hope he stays fit because the more he plays, he is going to get better. There is no doubt about it. So he could end up being a critical part of our team if he keeps developing the way he is at this point. We are very happy with the way he is going, and over the next few months, there will be lots of games for us to give him those opportunities to keep getting better. On the headache of selecting teams with so many options in hand, with Prince Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, and Harsh Dubey selected in the ODI team for the first time, Agarkar said, I don't read what's going on social media. So, I don't know what's going on. He is fit at this point, and we hope he stays fit because the more he plays, he is going to get better. There is no doubt about it. So he could end up being a critical part of our team if he keeps developing the way he is at this point. We are very happy with the way he is going, and over the next few months, there will be lots of games for us to give him those opportunities to keep getting better. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But that's a good headache to have, rather than having fewer options. At this point, certainly in white-ball cricket, we are blessed with a lot of options.

IPL 2026: When And Where To Watch KKR Vs MI, Know All Details

Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders head into Wednesdays IPL 2026 clash against Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens with their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. KKR have revived their campaign impressively after a poor first half of the season, winning five of their last six matches to stay in contention for the final playoff spot. However, with only 11 points so far, the equation remains simple: defeat Mumbai and keep their qualification chances alive. Even consecutive wins may not be enough for Kolkata, who also require favourable results involving Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. The race for the last playoff berth remains intense despite Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad already confirming qualification. KKR will draw confidence from their strong recent performances at Eden Gardens, especially after posting 247/2 against Gujarat Titans in their last home game. The batting lineup has clicked at the right time, though injury concerns around Matheesha Pathirana and Varun Chakaravarthy remain a concern. Mumbai, meanwhile, are already out of the playoff race and are likely to continue testing combinations. Captain Hardik Pandya remains doubtful, while injuries to Quinton de Kock and Raj Bawa have weakened the squad. However, Suryakumar Yadav has rejoined the team and could lead the side. Historically, MI have dominated the rivalry, winning 25 of 36 meetings, including their earlier clash this season.

Former South Africa: Former South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher delivered an emotional tribute to MS Dhoni following Sunrisers Hyderabads playoff-clinching win over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk, calling the legendary captain a global icon who changed the sport forever. Boucher reflected on Dhonis unmatched connection with fans and his lasting impact on world cricket.Ive been at Chepauk a few times, and Ive never seen fans go as crazy for anyone as they do for MS Dhoni, Boucher said on Star Sports. Its something I speak about even in South Africa. Whenever people say they want to experience the IPL, I always tell them they have to go to Chepauk to watch Dhoni, because thats when you truly understand how massive he is in this country. He has been an absolute legend of the game, not just in India but across the world. What he has done for cricket is astronomical. Boucher also hoped Dhoni would continue contributing to the game even after retirement. Whenever he eventually decides to move on, it will be a huge loss for the game. Hopefully, he continues to remain involved in cricket in some capacity, whether as a director of cricket for CSK or in another role, he said. He has an incredible cricket brain and an outstanding character. He will forever be remembered among the greats of the game. And from the rest of the cricketing world, thank you for everything youve done for the sport. Youve been an absolute superstar. The tribute was after SRH went on to win against CSK by 5 wickets at M.

IPL 2026: Aaron Finch Backs Ruturaj Gaikwad Despite Difficult CSK Season

Chennai Super Kings: Former Australia captain Aaron Finch has thrown his support behind Ruturaj Gaikwad, insisting the Chennai Super Kings skipper should not be judged solely on one challenging IPL campaign. Finch's comments came after CSK suffered a five-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk, a result that confirmed SRH's qualification for the IPL 2026 playoffs. It's important not to judge a player or a captain based on just one season because T20 cricket can be extremely demanding and unpredictable, Finch said on JioHotstar. From a captaincy perspective, Ruturaj Gaikwad has still led the side well, especially with his decisions and composure on the field. At times, form and leadership pressure can overlap, but for him it now comes down to rediscovering his batting rhythm and getting back to scoring consistently. The quality is still there, and sometimes in T20 cricket, phases like these can change very quickly. Gaikwad endured another difficult outing with the bat, scoring 15 as CSK posted 180/7 after being asked to bat first. Sanju Samson provided an explosive start with 27 off 13 balls, while Dewald Brevis top-scored with 44. SRH captain Pat Cummins led superbly with the ball, finishing with 3/28 and reaching the milestone of 200 T20 wickets. Sakib dismissed the dangerous Urvil Patel, while both young bowlers took two wickets each to help limit Chennai to 180/7.

IPL 2026: Varun Aaron Praises SRH Youngsters Sakib And Praful After Playoff-clinching Win

Chennai Super Kings: Sunrisers Hyderabad bowling coach Varun Aaron praised young bowlers Praful Hinge and Sakib Husain after teams secured their spot in the IPL 2026 playoffs with a five-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. In a discussion on JioHotstar SRH bowling coach Aaron attributed the duos growth this season to their eagerness and hard work. A lot of credit goes to Praful Hinge and Sakib Husain because both of them are very eager to learn and aim to play for India, Aaron said. When young players have that kind of ambition, dedication and hard work follow naturally. Both of them put in a lot of effort, not just during the tournament but also in the lead-up to the IPL. Our preparations with them started almost two months before the season. We organized specialized camps and worked closely on different aspects of their bowling. The most impressive thing was how open they were to learning, and now they are starting to see the results of all that hard work. The pair justified that trust with key performances during CSKs innings. Sakib dismissed the dangerous Urvil Patel, while both young bowlers took two wickets each to help limit Chennai to 180/7. Ishan Kishan then led SRHs chase with a steady 70 off 47 balls, while Klaasens 47 shifted the momentum significantly in the middle overs. Aaron also noted Klaasens growing role in the team. One area where we struggled last season was finishing games when the top order didnt fully deliver. This year, Heinrich Klaasen has taken on that responsibility very well, Aaron said. What makes him special is how easily he can change his approach, going from rotating the strike at a run-a-ball to suddenly scoring eight or nine runs an over. That transition is tough, but Klaasen makes it seem effortless. Aaron also noted Klaasens growing role in the team.

IPL 2026: Added Responsibility Of Captaincy Seems To Have Affected Gaikwads Batting, Says Ashwin

Chennai Super Kings: Former India cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin believes that Ruturaj Gaikwad's batting has been affected by his new role as captain. This comes as the Chennai Super Kings work through a transition phase after MS Dhoni's departure. Speaking on JioHotstar after CSK's five-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk, Ashwin discussed the challenges the team is facing now that SRH secured a playoff spot with their win. Chennai Super Kings are clearly in a transition phase in the post-Dhoni era. Its important for everyone involvedfans, stakeholders, and the teamto recognize that rebuilding takes time, Ashwin said. The standards and expectations associated with CSK are incredibly high because of their legacy, but this group needs space and patience as they evolve. At the same time, the added responsibility of captaincy seems to have affected Ruturaj Gaikwads batting. T20 cricket is already demanding, and carrying the burden of leadership alongside expectations from a franchise like CSK can have a significant impact on a player. SRH secured a spot in the IPL 2026 playoffs with a steady chase of 181 runs, boosted by Ishan Kishans 70 off 47 balls and Heinrich Klaasens aggressive 47 at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium. After early contributions from Abhishek Sharma and Klaasen, Kishan led the chase effectively. SRH reached their target with an over to spare, earning 16 points from 13 matches and joining Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the playoffs.

India's First All-Women Car Hub by Cars24 Becomes Top Performing Hub in Delhi NCR

Cars24 has announced that its recently launched all-women automotive hub in Saket, Delhi NCR, has emerged as the top-performing hub across the companys Delhi NCR network within its very first month of operations. Cars24's first all-women automotive hub in Saket, Delhi NCR, has delivered a strong debut performance, prompting the company to expand the women-led hub model to Mumbai and Bengaluru Launched at DLF South Court, Saket, the initiative was designed as a full-scale operational pilot where every role across the hub, including Car Advisors, Operations Managers and Hub Leadership, is led entirely by women. The hub operates under the same targets, performance benchmarks and accountability standards as every other Cars24 hub across the country. Within the first month, the Saket hub recorded the highest overall performance in the Delhi NCR region, selling over 100 cars with a financing penetration of 55%. Commenting on the development, Vikram Chopra said, For decades, the automotive industry has largely been built and operated by men. This initiative was our attempt to challenge that norm through action, not conversation. What the Saket hub has proven is that capability was never the barrier. Opportunity was. The company said the experiment was aimed at understanding how customer interactions and dealership dynamics evolve when women lead the entire automotive retail experience, from sales and financing to delivery and operations. According to Cars24, the results reflected a noticeable shift in customer engagement, trust and overall buying experience. The women in this hub were not selected to fulfil a quota. They were chosen because they were fully capable of running high-performance operations. The only thing we changed was ensuring they were no longer the exception on the floor, but the norm, Chopra added. The company also highlighted that the initiative received strong internal backing from male leaders and teams across the organisation, who played a key role in identifying the representation gap and building the model. Cars24 currently employs over 6,800 people, of which 951 are women. The company says the Saket pilot is part of a larger long-term effort to improve womens participation and leadership across automotive retail and operations. Following the success of the Delhi NCR hub, Cars24 confirmed plans to expand the women-led hub model to Mumbai and Bengaluru. The company is also exploring the inclusion of women mechanics and service professionals as part of future expansion plans. The real success will be when women leading automotive hubs is no longer considered groundbreaking but business as usual, " Chopra said. Cars24 has invited women interested in building careers in automotive retail and operations to reach out via women@cars24.com.

They play here and know the wicket a lot better, he added.
