World Test Championship: India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak hailed debutant Manav Suthar's outstanding performance against Afghanistan, saying the left-arm spinner's rise was a reflection of the strong domestic and developmental structure in Indian cricket. Suthar made a remarkable international debut, taking 7 for 62 and winning the Player of the Match award as India defeated Afghanistan by an innings and 300 runs in the one-off Test at New Chandigarh. The 22-year-old spinner played a key role in India's strong performance. He helped dismiss Afghanistan for just 152 in the first innings and contributed to another collapse in the follow-on. He also added helpful runs lower down the order, impressing the team management with his overall contribution. Reflecting on Suthar's impressive debut, Kotak noted that the young player's success came from years of development in India's cricketing system. He has been playing for two or three years - India A, India Emerging, and all. It was a great opportunity for him. He bowled really well and also batted effectively, which is very satisfying. Kotak added, The structure of the BCCI is such that players move from age groups to the Ranji Trophy, then to the Emerging team, onto India A, and eventually to the national team. The IPL also provides great exposure for all the players. India scored a huge first-innings total before bowling Afghanistan out quickly, leaving them with the choice to bat again or enforce the follow-on. Despite the hot conditions, India decided to send Afghanistan back in. Kotak explained that this choice was part of preparing the team for future challenges. If they had batted until the second session, then maybe we would have batted again. But since we scored so many runs and they got out for 152, everyone thought that if they got out before lunch, we should try to bowl again. He continued, There will be times when we have to bowl 100 or 120 overs in one innings or across two innings. Its not just about practising batting. We also need to work on bowling longer spells of spin. While Suthar excelled on his debut, Washington Sundar also played a significant all-round role, scoring a half-century in the first innings and taking 4 for 36 in the second. Kotak praised Sundar's maturity and versatility, noting how his time with India A and the senior team has made him a reliable player. Usually, he bats at seven or eight. In the Kolkata Test, due to the pitch conditions and thinking about the left-right batting combination, he batted higher up. But he has been part of the system since India A. He was part of the first series I did in 2019. He is very mature, I believe. In red-ball cricket, he contributed with both bat and ball. He is a very useful player. He has the right temperament. Whether he gets the opportunity to bowl or bat, his work ethic and behaviour stay consistent. There are players who feel disappointed. If you keep working hard for six, seven, or eight years and continue to mature, I believe you will perform, Kotak stated. Although the one-off Test doesn't count towards the World Test Championship standings, Kotak sees it as an important step in India's efforts to address issues revealed during last year's tough tour of South Africa. There are players who feel disappointed. If you keep working hard for six, seven, or eight years and continue to mature, I believe you will perform, Kotak stated. Also Read: Live Cricket Score In England, our batters did really well against fast bowlers. In the South Africa series, we could have performed better against spin.

Kapil Dev On Indias T20I Captaincy Switch: Only Selectors Can Explain The Decision
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Former skipper Kapil Dev on Monday stated that only selectors can explain the decision behind India's recent T20I captaincy switch, adding that the move to replace Suryakumar Yadav with Shreyas Iyer would have been thoroughly evaluated by the national selection committee before execution. The Ajit Agarkar-led BCCI selection committee officially named Iyer as India's T20I captain for the upcoming tours to Ireland and England, as well as the 2026 Asian Games. The 1983 World Cup-winning skipper noted that the selectors remain the ultimate authority behind such leadership shifts. I think the selectors must have thought about it, and that is why they made the change, Kapil Dev told IANS when asked about his views on Iyer taking over the reins from Suryakumar. The 1983 World Cup winner further stated that those directly running the game or analyzing it daily hold the clear insights, Only the selectors can give a better answer, or those who are closely involved with the game, like senior players and experts on television, can comment on it, he added. Iyers elevation to the T20I captaincy is a remarkable turnaround. He was out of Indias T20I plans after December 2023, and has now forced his way back through consistent IPL performances and strong leadership credentials. He led Kolkata Knight Riders to clinching the 2024 IPL title, and guided Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings to IPL finals in 2020 and 2025, apart from leading Mumbai to the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win in 2024/25. He is the only player in IPL history to captain three different franchises to a final. Iyers elevation to the T20I captaincy is a remarkable turnaround.

Argentinian Nabila Sol Barraza: Even as the Indian yoga athletes and many of their Indian-origin counterparts take centrestage at the inaugural World Yogasana Championships here, a lithe South American is a cynosure of the spectators and fellow competitors as she performed the asanas with precision and elegance. After all, Argentinian Nabila Sol Barraza has been one of the most successful overseas athletes in the championships, winning a total of five including two gold and two silver medals, and insists that yoga has transformed her life in more ways than she could ever imagine. Born about 40 kilometres from Rosario the Argentine city that gave the global football icon Lionel Messi Nabilas first brush with Yogasana happened through a college friend back home. What began as curiosity gradually transformed into a passion, eventually bringing her to Mumbai, a city she would call home for nearly five years During that period, she learnt Hindi phrases, discovered Indian traditions, appeared as a background dancer in Bollywood productions, worked alongside actor Tiger Shroff, and even developed an unexpected appreciation for cricket. I knew how passionate people in Argentina are about football, so I could understand the emotions Indians have for cricket, said Nabila as she speaks about how she is a great fan of former India skipper Virat Kohli. While cricket introduced her to one side of India, yoga revealed something deeper. Drawn by its philosophy and transformative potential, Nabila travelled to Rishikesh, widely regarded as the yoga capital of the world, before furthering her studies in Nashik. The enriching experience has since shaped the journey of the 30-year-old trainer of contemporary dance, who was raised by a single mother alongside her two siblings. It has been an amazing journey in India. I loved everything about the country the culture, the people and the diversity. I travelled to Rajasthan, Agra, Goa, Chennai and Kolkata. What amazed me most was how different the languages, cuisines and customs can be within one country, said Nabila. The lessons she learnt on those journeys would eventually travel with her across continents. Earlier this year, Nabila moved to Colombia, where she now conducts both online and offline yoga classes. Yoga heals the body, mind and soul, she said. For me, it is still a learning experience. What makes it special is that it is not restricted by age. Anyone can practice it. Nabilas commitment was evident long before she stepped onto the championship stage in Ahmedabad. To compete at the World Yogasana Championships, Nabila endured a gruelling 48-hour journey that took her from Bogota to Toronto, then London, Mumbai and finally Ahmedabad. The effort paid off.
