Mindset Is The Same As Before Become World Cup Champion Again, Says Kranti Gaud
T20 World Cup: India pacer Kranti Gaud has asserted that the national team will head into the upcoming ICC Womens T20 World Cup with a singular, familiar objective: of becoming champions once again. India are yet to win a Womens T20 World Cup but go into the mega event, to be played from June 12 to July 5 in England, as current ODI World Cup champions. India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, had failed to make it to the knockouts of the last edition in 2024 in the UAE, and their best finish in their history of being in the competition came as runners-up in the 2020 edition in Australia. The mindset is the same as before - become the World Cup champion again and that's how we will approach it in the upcoming T20 World Cup, Kranti said exclusively to IANS on the sidelines of the 'Fancatchstic Chapter 2' event on Sunday. The pacer highlighted the Womens Premier League (WPL) as a vital bridge for domestic talent to come into the Indian team, citing the rapid rise of fellow pacer Nandni Sharma as a prime example. Yes, because it is a good platform for the players. For example, Nandni Sharma came to WPL and now she is with us in T20 World Cup. So, WPL is a very good opportunity and I would like to have more players participate in it, she added. Reflecting on her own individual goals for the World Cup in England, a place where she made her T20I debut and picked a historic 6-52 in an ODI in Durham, Kranti said she remains focused on working on her strengths which have fetched her success so far. There is nothing like that. We are just running what is going on. We are doing to make our best even better. Yes, England has been very good for me. I took six wickets in an ODI game (in Durham). I came to know later that it was a world record at such a young age, she said. Regarding the current fast bowling synergy within the squad, featuring Renuka Singh Thakur and Arundhati Reddy, Kranti said, The atmosphere is good. If I am bowling from one side, then the other bowlers should bowl from the other side. We are doing very well in partnerships and have the same targets. Beyond the tactical aspects of the game, Gaud believes a T20 World Cup win carries a larger social responsibility for furthering the growth of womens cricket, something which has been on an upswing since WPL and ODI World Cup triumph. We have won the World Cup before and there have been so many changes. We want to win the upcoming World Cup and bring more changes in Indian women's cricket. We want to instill trust in the coming generation and their parents. That is why this T20 World Cup is very important, she said. The pacer also shared her personal evolution from a village girl in Ghuwara, located in Bundelkhand, Madhya Pradesh from being unaware about professional womens cricket to being a world champion. That journey (is special), because I didn't know that much at that time. I was very young. So, I didn't know girls' cricket existed as well - like play with leather ball, and in academies, girls and boys get to practice. I didn't have any such idea. It was a small tournament in our village and that small tournament, my life changed so much that I became a World Cup winner and champion, she recalled. She also expressed pride in how the teams success has empowered girls across the country to speak openly about their sporting ambitions. Nowadays, girls are able to tell their parents that they want to become a cricketer. It's not just about cricket - it's also about all sports. So, girls are able to openly tell their parents and they are able to openly support them because they have seen that girls can do everything. Now we have become champions. So, they have seen that championship win and have believed that our children can do something as well. Kranti concluded by detailing her efforts to revive cricket in her hometown, where her talent and raw speed while playing was noticed and honed by coach Rajiv Bilthre. The tournament that I played in Ghuwara was closed for 5-6 years. When I went there, I started it on 16th November. Then I made girls and boys play cricket as well. When I made a team for my village, I took the trials and 80 girls came for it. So, girls are able to openly tell their parents and they are able to openly support them because they have seen that girls can do everything. Now we have become champions. So, they have seen that championship win and have believed that our children can do something as well. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So, when those 80 girls came to give trials, it was a proud thing for me and my family because if you see a player being supported by the family, then it becomes very easy for because whole family is standing behind her to support her dream. So, I just want the family to always support her and that the children should fulfill their goals. Article Source: IANS

US returns over 650 antiquities valued at nearly USD 14 million to India
New York, Apr 30: The US has returned 657 antiquities collectively valued at nearly USD 14 million to India, saying there is more work to be done to return stolen artifacts to the country. The return was announced by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Tuesday. The pieces were recovered following several investigations into trafficking networks, including those related to disgraced art dealer Subhash Kapoor and convicted trafficker Nancy Wiener. The pieces were returned at an event attended by Consul Rajlakshmi Kadam from the Consulate General of India in New York. The scale of the trafficking networks that targeted cultural heritage in India is massive, as demonstrated by the return of more than 600 pieces today, Bragg said in a statement. There is unfortunately more work to be done to return stolen artifacts back to India, and I thank our team for their persistent efforts. Consul General of India in New York, Binaya Pradhan, appreciated the sustained cooperation of the Manhattan District Attorneys Office, the US Department of Homeland Security, and the law enforcement agencies whose continued vigilance, he said, made the recovery and return of these culturally significant artifacts possible. The items returned include a two million dollar bronze figure of Avalokiteshvara, seated on an inscribed double-lotus base over a lion-flanked throne. The inscription identifies the craftsman as Dronaditya of Sipur, located near modern-day Raipur in Chhattisgarh. The Avalokiteshvara was one of a large hoard of bronzes discovered near the Lakshmana Temple in 1939 and entered the collection of the Mahant Ghasidas Memorial Museum, Raipur by 1952. The statue was stolen from the museum and smuggled into the US by 1982, ultimately ending up in a private collection in New York by 2014. The bronze artifact was located and seized from that collection by the Manhattan District Attorneys Office in 2025. A sandstone figure of a dancing Ganesha, which was looted by one of Kapoors indicted co-conspirators Ranjeet Kanwar, from a temple in Madhya Pradesh in 2000. Convicted trafficker Vaman Ghiya then sold and shipped the statue to the New York-based gallery owner Doris Wiener. In 2012, after the death of her mother Doris, Nancy Wiener later convicted for antiquities trafficking knowingly created false provenance for the Ganesha statue, consigning it to, and selling it at, Christies New York. The Ganesha was purchased at the 2012 auction by a private collector who surrendered it to the Manhattan District Attorneys office earlier this year. Another artifact is a red sandstone figure of a Buddha standing with his right hand raised in abhaya mudra, a gesture of protection. The Buddhas feet are broken off below the knees and only fragments of the halo behind his head are visible, damage that likely occurred when the statue was looted from Northern India. The USD 7.5 million-statue was smuggled into New York by Kapoor and was seized by the Antiquities Trafficking Unit from one of his New York storage units. For more than a decade, the District Attorneys Antiquities Trafficking Unit, along with law enforcement partners at Homeland Security Investigations, have investigated Kapoor and his co-conspirators for the alleged illegal looting, exportation, and sale of artifacts from numerous countries in South and Southeast Asia. The DAs Office obtained an arrest warrant for Kapoor in 2012. In November 2019, he and seven of his co-defendants were indicted for their conspiracy to traffic stolen antiquities. Kapoors extradition from India, where he was convicted for his trafficking activities in 2022, is pending. Five of Kapoors co-defendants have already been convicted by the Manhattan District Attorneys office. The Antiquities Trafficking Unit has now recovered more than 6,200 cultural treasures, including rare books, works of art, and antiquities, valued at more than USD 485 million, and returned more than 5,900 of those so far to 36 countries. The ATU has also convicted 18 individuals of cultural property-related crimes, with another 7 alleged traffickers pending extradition.
