Inspired By Cricketer Shane Watson, Archer Sahil Jadhav Gears Up For Asian Games Challenge
For Sahil Jadhav: On the face of it, archery and cricket have very little in common, but inspiration can come to anyone from anywhere. So, it may not come as a surprise that a former Australian all-rounder has emerged as an unlikely inspiration for one of the rising stars of Indian archery. For Sahil Jadhav, it was a book by star cricketer Shane Watson that provided the spark of inspiration as he gears up to take on the continental elite at the Asian Games 2026. I started reading a book called The Winners Mindset by Shane Watson around a month ago. My initial intent was to reduce the time I spent scrolling on my phone. However, I have received valuable knowledge on how to deal with pressure and keep myself focused during competitions, Jadhav said during an interaction with SAI Media. Mental strength and patience are qualities which Jadhav has required in copious amounts over his career. The 25-year-old endured seven years of disappointment before winning his first national title and breaking into the Indian squad. It was the support and sacrifices of his family that kept Jadhav going during those difficult years. I took up archery quite late, at the age of 19. But my family was extremely supportive. In fact, my family have sacrificed more than me. They stood by me during those difficult years and supported me in every way possible. I took seven years to win my first medal at the national level. It was a test of patience and grit as every year I used to miss out by extremely small margins, Jadhav was quoted as saying by SAI Media. The years of hard work and perseverance bore fruit as Jadhav won his first national medal in 2024 -- a gold at the senior nationals before tasting international success by emerging champion in the individual category at the World University Games 2025 along with a silver medal in the team event. The Satara native is in good form this year, registering the biggest result of his career by clinching a bronze medal in the mens individual compound event at the Archery World Cup 2026 Stage 2 in Shanghai, China, earlier this year. As I stood on the podium, I thought about my parents, their sacrifices and all the struggle I had to undergo over these last few years, he said. While he is confident about his personal form, Jadhav feels that he and his colleagues in the Indian squad need to pay attention to the minor details to upstage global archery powerhouses such as South Korea, China and Japan at the Asian Games 2026, which starts in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, next month. The selection trial for the Indian squad is the toughest in the world. If we have managed to earn our spots in the Indian team, it means we have the potential to beat the best in the world. However, sometimes our archers choke under pressure, make minor errors or slip up by one or two points. We lost bronze medals at three World Cups in this manner, he said. While he is confident about his personal form, Jadhav feels that he and his colleagues in the Indian squad need to pay attention to the minor details to upstage global archery powerhouses such as South Korea, China and Japan at the Asian Games 2026, which starts in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, next month. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Currently training at SAIs National Centre of Excellence, Eastern Centre in Kolkata, Jadhav is focused on the Asian Games his biggest international assignment so far. Conditions here are perfect for training. I have been training at SAI for the last 3-4 years. We owe a lot to SAI since they take care of our training, lodging, food, equipment and other facilities. In fact, SAI is a crucial factor behind the international success I have achieved, he said. Article Source: IANS

On July 30, Rahane announced his retirement from international cricket and all formats. Rahane represented India in 85 Tests, 90 ODIs and 20 T20Is for India, while his final international appearance came against the West Indies in a two-game Test series in July 2023. Cricket has given me so much, and Ive always believed that players have a responsibility to leave the game stronger than they found it. Europe is entering an exciting phase and has the potential to become one of crickets most promising frontiers. What impressed me about Amsterdam Flames is the ambition to build something meaningful that creates a lasting impact both on and off the field. Im excited to work alongside the management to build a successful franchise while helping inspire the next generation and strengthen crickets future across Europe, Rahane said in a statement issued by the tournament on Friday. Rahane is currently in England as a commentator for the Hundred. Steve Waugh, the former Australia captain whos the co-founder and Chief Cricket Officer of Amsterdam Flames, welcomed Rahane into the set-up. Ajinkya Rahane represents everything you want in a professional cricketer - skill, resilience, humility and leadership. Throughout his career he has earned enormous respect across the cricket world, not only for his performances but for the way he has conducted himself on and off the field. Ive seen first-hand the composure and leadership he brings under pressure, and those qualities help shape winning cultures. His experience, leadership and character will be invaluable as we build Amsterdam Flames into one of Europe's premier cricket clubs. In the IPL, Rahane played 212 games for six teams and amassed 5367 in the tournament, including captaining Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2025 and 2026 seasons and being a tournament winner with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in 2023. Abhishek Bachchan, Co-owner of the ETPL, highlighted the significance of Rahane's signing for the upcoming league. Ajinkya Rahane joining Steve Waughs Amsterdam Flames is a significant moment for both the franchise and the ETPL and another important milestone in our vision to accelerate the growth of cricket across Europe. Players of Ajinkyas calibre not only raise the standard of the competition but also inspire and mentor the next generation of European cricketers. We are delighted to welcome him to the ETPL family.

'Staying With One Franchise Key To Creating Legacy', Says Pathan
Kolkata Knight Riders: Former India left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that a cricketer can build a lasting legacy only by staying with a single IPL franchise, though he acknowledged that retention rules and auction dynamics often leave players with little control over their long-term association. Pathans comments come at a time when rumours around Hardik Pandyas future in Mumbai Indians (MI) have been subject to immense speculation. If you want to create a legacy as a player, you can do that only by staying with one franchise, if you get that opportunity. But usually, that doesn't happen. My first team was Punjab, and I played there for three years. In the fourth year, Punjab wanted me to stay, but due to the retention rules and other such reasons, they couldn't retain any players. Nobody was retained. So, sometimes these things are not in the players' hands either. The franchise wants it too, said Pathan on JioHotstar's series 'Cheeky Singles'. He also highlighted how retention constraints often force teams to part ways with players they groomed, citing Shubman Gill's exit from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as an example. Take KKR, for example. I'm sure the players who left, if asked whether they wanted to leave, would say no. A player like Shubman Gill, they would have wanted to keep him. They groomed him and picked him first. But sometimes circumstances are such that you simply can't retain players. If you get the chance to stay with one franchise, let go of a few things, build your legacy, and stay with that team, he added. Recalling his stint with the Punjab franchise during the 2009 IPL in South Africa, Pathan shared a fond memory of co-owner Preity Zinta making parathas for the team after a victory. When we went to South Africa, we lost a few matches at the start. Everyone was upset, including our boss, Preity Zinta. She gathered the entire team and said, 'Look, if you win the next match, I'll host a party for all of you with Indian food, and I'll make parathas for you.' Everyone was already craving Indian food. In the very next game, we won a low-scoring match. True to her word, Preity fulfilled her promise. She gathered all the players at the hotel and made parathas. Playing is our job; we didn't do anything extraordinary, but she is such a lovely lady, so warm and caring. Even when we lost regularly, and despite being disappointed, she would attend team meetings, speak to us, ask how we could improve, and never lose her cool, he elaborated. Addressing the issue of social media misinformation and online trolling, Pathan opened up about a fake report claiming Pakistani skipper Babar Azam had denied him an interview. The trolling and fake attribution happen every day. The media in our neighbouring country once ran a story claiming that I had gone to interview Babar Azam and that he refused because, according to him, 'He trolls our country, so I won't give him an interview.' It was a complete lie. Addressing the issue of social media misinformation and online trolling, Pathan opened up about a fake report claiming Pakistani skipper Babar Azam had denied him an interview. Also Read: Live Cricket Score It got over a million views, and people believed it was me. This happens every day, but I don't respond. Every day, some lie is told in our name or about some player. If you keep responding to everyone, you won't be able to live your life, he concluded. Article Source: IANS

Hazlewood Refused To Bowl To Me In CSK Nets, Recalls Pujara
Chennai Super Kings: Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara revealed a light-hearted moment involving Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood during their time together at Chennai Super Kings (CSK), recalling how the quick jokingly refused to bowl to him in the nets after battling him endlessly in Test cricket. Having spent hours facing Hazlewood during India's memorable Border-Gavaskar Trophy series victories in Australia in 2018/19 and 2020/21, Pujara shared the humorous exchange with Hazlewood during his time of being with CSK in the IPL. During the Australia series in 2018 and 2021, I played a lot against Josh Hazlewood. Then I got picked by CSK. The first time I went to bat in the nets, Hazlewood refused to bowl to me. He said, 'I won't bowl to him.' Even though he was my teammate, he refused. He joked that he had bowled to me far too much over the previous few months before the IPL, so he wasn't going to bowl to me again. He was kidding, but he actually didn't bowl to me, said Pujara on JioHotstar's series 'Cheeky Singles'. Reflecting on his early IPL career, Pujara, who played 103 Tests for India, also recalled experiencing a fanboy moment when meeting Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner, actor-producer Shah Rukh Khan, though he noted that team culture and cricket development remain a player's primary priority over celebrity presence. He joked that he had bowled to me far too much over the previous few months before the IPL, so he wasn't going to bowl to me again.

Hasina Speech Sparks Dhaka Fury; Bangladesh's 'Dangerous' Pakistan, China Turn Explained
Bangladesh is furious over Sheikh Hasina's virtual address from New Delhi marking one year since her ouster, calling it a breach of neighbourly conduct. But has Dhaka itself behaved like a good neighbour? Over the past year, Hindu temples have been attacked, an 81-foot Ram statue project halted under Islamist pressure, and cricketer Shakib Al Hasan's house allegedly torched for attending Hasina's event. Meanwhile, Bangladesh has handed a 110-acre economic zone at Mongla Port, barely 180 kilometres from Kolkata, to a Chinese company, once earmarked for India, and fast-tracked Beijing's role in the sensitive Teesta River project. India denies organising Hasina's address, calling it private. This video breaks down why Bangladesh's outrage over one speech looks selective, when its own conduct towards India tells a very different story of shifting loyalties.
