'PM Modi Always Stands With Athletes': Arundhati Chaudhary After Khelo India Dialogue
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: The 2026 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Arundhati Chaudhary on Thursday attended the 'Khelo India Dialogue', a virtual address by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Chaudhary reacted to Modi's address to the youth as she highlighted that the PM is standing with the athletes at all times, be it a win or a loss. Through this event, the youth would have got a glimpse that PM Modi always stands with the youth, whether they win or lose. Whenever we return from a competition, the PM interacts with us. He discusses our wins and losses. If we lose, he motivates us not to bog down and keep working hard, she said after attending the virtual briefing. Students of Punjabi University also shared their experiences at the event. B.Tech student Anshul Auluwalia said the 'Khelo India Dialogue' allowed him to learn about the changes taking place in sports and the governments sports policies. Meanwhile, university student and NSS volunteer Khushdeep Kaur said hearing about athletes' struggles, injuries, and experiences from their sporting careers was highly motivating for the students. She said the hard work and determination of athletes are an inspiration for young people. B.Tech student Gauri said she had stopped playing sports some time ago, but after participating in the 'Khelo India' program, she once again felt motivated to return to sports. She said that students should participate in sports alongside their studies. During his address, the Prime Minister called for India to broaden its participation across Olympic disciplines, saying the country must develop athletes in sports where it has traditionally had little or no representation, as part of preparations for the 2036 Olympics. Addressing the youngsters, Modi said a nationwide talent hunt targeting children aged 5 to 15 would be crucial for identifying athletes early and training them in sports suited to their abilities. This time, from the Red Fort, I drew the country's attention to a major challenge in sports. This challenge is related to the Olympics. The bitter truth is that India's teams don't participate in half of the sports that are a part of the Olympics, he said. PM Modi said India's limited participation had remained a longstanding concern and directly affected the country's prospects in the overall medal standings. That is, we do not compete for a very large part of the medal tally. And this has been the situation for a long time now. In the 2012 Olympics, India participated in only 13 sports. In more than 20 sports, India did not participate. This time, from the Red Fort, I drew the country's attention to a major challenge in sports. This challenge is related to the Olympics. The bitter truth is that India's teams don't participate in half of the sports that are a part of the Olympics, he said. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories There are so many sports whose names people in the country have probably heard of. Other countries win medals in those sports. And we do not participate in those sports. We have to acquire the skills in these sports to increase the medal tally in these sports as well. For example, surfing and sports climbing, he added.

The Partition drama, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, stars Preity opposite Sunny Deol and was released in theatres on August 14. Speaking about returning to the sets after several years, Preity had earlier admitted that the experience came with its share of nervousness. There were nerves, she said. She recalled that Santoshi made her first day particularly challenging by giving her one of the films toughest scenes. He (director Santoshi) tortured me on day one by putting the most difficult scene of the film on the first day. So I was just looking at him (Sunny Deol), and I was shaking ki abhi main kya karoon (what do I do know)? He is a wonderful, big-hearted, kind, decent, good human being to work with because he really was like, Dont worry, he loves retakes. Kuch khaayegi (Will you eat something)? Once among Hindi cinemas most popular and highest-paid actors, Preity stepped away from acting full-time after marriage. Since 2008, she has appeared in only a handful of films, with Bhaiaji Superhit marking her last full-length role before her recent return.

Punjab T20 League: Mayank Markande is relishing the opportunity to represent Amritsar Soormas in the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League, with the Punjab spinner believing the tournament can play a significant role in strengthening the states cricketing ecosystem. It is a privilege to be part of Amritsar Soormas and contribute directly to Punjabs premier T20 tournament. Having come through Punjabs domestic system, playing in a league that unites the finest talent across the state while representing a historic city like Amritsar is deeply satisfying, Markande said. Markande believes the league can provide a crucial platform for players from across Punjab, particularly those emerging from the district and age-group systems. Punjab has always produced match-winners, but a structured league format creates depth. It gives domestic performers, U-19 prospects, and district cricketers a regular spotlight, ensuring that talent from non-metro pockets gets scouted and fast-tracked into state and IPL teams, he said. The spinner also has high expectations from the Soormas, highlighting the squads balance and ability to adapt to different match situations. We have a well-rounded squad capable of adapting to different pitch conditions and match situations. If we execute our bowling plans during critical phases and stay proactive in our run-chases, we are well positioned to make a serious run for the trophy, Markande said. As one of the senior players in the squad, Markande also sees an important role for himself in helping the younger spinners navigate the demands of T20 cricket. On the field, my job is to control the middle overs, apply pressure through dot balls, and break partnerships. Off the field, I want to be approachablesharing insights on field placements, variations, and reading pitch behaviour with the younger spinners so they feel fully supported, he said. With the league also serving as an important preparation platform ahead of the domestic season, Markande believes the intensity of T20 cricket will help sharpen his game. Competitive T20 matches against top-quality batters offer the best possible match practice. It tests variations, bowling discipline, and game-awareness under pressure, he said.

We Are Well Covered In All Departments: Bhatinda Royals Batting Coach Manish Bhatia
Punjab T20 League: Bhatinda Royals have assembled a balanced squad for the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League and will be aiming to make a strong impact in the tournament as batting coach expressed confidence in the team's combination saying the team is well covered in all departments. He also highlighted the importance of having experienced players such as India international Gurnoor Brar in the squad. In a winning team, a strong bowling attack is very important, and I feel we are well covered in that department. We have our captain and India player Gurnoor Brar, along with left-arm pacer Ashwini, who has been part of the Mumbai Indians setup. We also have several all-rounders who can contribute with both bat and ball, which gives us a very balanced bowling unit. Bhatia also believes the Royals have enough firepower in the batting department. We have some very talented batters who have represented Punjab at different age-group levels. Our vice-captain, Uday Saharan, is the backbone of this team. He is in excellent form, and his presence gives a lot of confidence to the entire squad. Overall, I think we have a very good combination. The batting coach was particularly optimistic about Saharan's prospects and believes the youngster is one of the players to watch in the tournament. Last year, we made Uday Saharan the captain of Punjab, and he continues to lead the side. He is already an experienced leader in red-ball cricket and has shown great maturity at a young age. If there is one player to watch out for in this tournament, it is Uday Saharan. I genuinely believe he has a bright future ahead of him. He can win matches for us and will continue to play an important role for Punjab cricket in the years to come. Bhatia also praised the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League for providing a platform to young cricketers and helping strengthen Punjab's cricketing structure. The Sher-e-Punjab T20 League can play a huge role in the growth of Punjab cricket. It gives young players an opportunity to showcase their talent and compete alongside experienced cricketers. Bhatia also praised the Sher-e-Punjab T20 League for providing a platform to young cricketers and helping strengthen Punjab's cricketing structure.
