Satara (Maharashtra) [India], September 17: Heavy rain could not dampen the spirit of over 8,500 runners who turned up for the 14th edition of the JBG Satara Hill Half Marathon, powered by Mala’s Fruit Products, on Sunday morning. By the time the sun broke through the clouds, Satara had witnessed one of its most memorable race days yet.

Crowds lined the streets, volunteers braved the weather, and runners embraced the challenge of the hills. The event reaffirmed its reputation as one of India’s most iconic runs – scenic, tough, and deeply rooted in community spirit.

Charity Beyond the Finish Line

One of the biggest impacts came through the Charity initiative, which will now support 2,000 children from more than 8 schools in and around Satara. Sports gear ranging from footballs and basketballs to chess and carrom sets has been handed over, bringing structured play and physical activity into classrooms.

Expo Sets the Tone

The buzz began two days earlier with the JBG SHHM Fitness Expo, presented by the Punit Balan Group, which saw over 30,000 visitors and participation from 50+ brands. Inaugurated by Smt. Vedantikaraje Bhonsle (Vahini Saheb), wife of Maharashtra PWD Minister Shrimant Ch. Shivendrasinharaje Bhonsle, the Expo brought the running community together even before race day.

Going Live – A First for India

This year also marked a first: the race was streamed live by Fancode and Zee24Taas, making JBG SHHM the first stand-alone half-marathon in India to be covered by a digital live-streaming partner.

The event also set another milestone: it hosted the largest ever field of runners in a stand-alone hill half-marathon in India. Already a three-time Guinness World Record holder, SHHM once again proved why it is counted among the toughest and most scenic races in the world.

On the Podium

The competition was fierce at the front of the pack.

• Men’s Open Category: Ankush Laxman Hakke (01:10:08), Lovepreet Singh (01:11:06), and Dharmender D (01:12:03).

• Women’s Open Category: Sakshi Sanjay Jadyal (01:29:35), Rutuja Vijay Patil (01:30:52), and Sonali Dhondiram Desai (01:33:42).

More than 600 runners finished under 2 hours, taking home gold medals. All pacers successfully guided their groups despite the sticky humidity left behind by the downpour.

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], September 22: Little Thevaky’s daring rappelling record shines a light on India’s natural climbing talent, as the nation eyes Olympic dreams for 2036.

On the morning of August 29, 2025, as India marked National Sports Day, a six-year-old girl stood at the edge of a 155-foot rock cliff in Malaipattu, Kancheepuram District, Tamil Nadu. With a blindfold tied across her eyes, she grasped the rope, leaned back, and began her descent.

In four minutes and thirty-two seconds, Thevaky B Rajkumar, a Class 1 student of Good Earth School, Tambaram, rappelled her way into history. She emerged not only unscathed but celebrated as the youngest girl to perform blindfold rock rappelling from 155 feet, a feat certified by the Asia Book of Records, India Book of Records, and The Noble Book of World Records.

Born to Mrs. S. Bhavani and Mr. Rajkumar S.P., residents of Tambaram, Chennai, Thevaky also hails from Paramasivampalayam, Tirupur District, Tamil Nadu—a reminder of how small towns and rural roots nurture extraordinary talent.

From Fear to Fearlessness

The journey began not with ambition but hesitation. Her father, Mr. Rajkumar, initially enrolled her in a mountaineering class to help her overcome a fear of nature. What started as a confidence-building step evolved into passion—and finally a world record achievement.

Her parents stood proud at Malaipattu as they watched their daughter descend with remarkable composure.

Guided by Experienced Coaches

Behind her daring act was systematic training led by Mr. R. Thirulogachandran, General Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Mountaineering Association, as the primary coach, with consistent support from Mr. Ramanan as additional coach. They ensured every preparation step was meticulous and child-focused.

“Thevaky I saw that morning was not the same little girl I met on the first day of training,” recalled Thirulogachandran, describing her transformation in confidence and skill.

Safety First, Then Bravery

The feat was carried out under strict medical and safety supervision. Before the attempt, Thevaky underwent a physical fitness evaluation by Dr. K. Vijaya Ragavan, Consultant Paediatrician, and a psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Vivek Arun Kumar, Consultant Psychiatrist, both from Annai Arul Hospital, who certified her fit for the challenge.

On the day, a mini-hospital ambulance from Annai Arul Hospital, Old Perungalathur, equipped with advanced emergency facilities, was stationed at the site. After the descent, nurse Reshma conducted a post-event health check, confirming Thevaky’s condition was normal and stable.

A Perfect Tribute on National Sports Day

The timing was significant. The attempt took place on National Sports Day 2025, celebrated in memory of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand. This year’s theme, “One Hour on the Playground,” urged children to move away from gadgets and embrace outdoor activity.

Thevaky’s achievement became a living symbol of that message. Her mother, Bhavani, reflected, “When trained, anything is possible.” She emphasized that while the idea came from Thevaky herself, the family never forced her into it—they simply stood by her choice.

Recognition at National and International Level

Her accomplishment did not go unnoticed. The feat has been formally recognized by prestigious organizations:

1. Asia Book of Records – “Youngest to perform a blindfolded rappelling feat”

2. India Book of Records – “Youngest to perform a blindfolded rappelling feat”

3. The Noble Book of World Records – “Youngest girl to perform blindfold rock rappelling from 155 feet”

These honors reaffirm not just the uniqueness of her effort but its wider significance for Indian sport.

Recognition from the Sporting Community

The feat drew attention from Tamil Nadu’s sports leadership. Thiru J. Meghanatha Reddy, IAS, Member Secretary of the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT), invited Thevaky and her parents to his office to congratulate them. He encouraged the young achiever to pursue her sporting ambitions, recognizing her as an inspiring face for the next generation.

Why This Feat Matters for India’s Sporting Future

Thevaky’s blindfold descent is more than a personal triumph. It aligns with larger shifts in the global sporting arena. Sport climbing will be a core discipline at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, signaling the rise of adventure sports on the world stage.

India is building momentum for a 2036 Olympic bid. Achievements like this showcase how the country’s young athletes can step into new arenas, bringing medals from disciplines often overlooked in mainstream training.

The journey also echoes the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasizes daily physical activity and the integration of sports in schools. For a country with vast natural landscapes, this is a call to broaden the sporting culture. With infrastructure and grassroots programs—such as government-supported artificial climbing walls, bouldering caves, belay systems, and safety harness networks—young enthusiasts like Thevaky could grow into a new generation of adventure-sport leaders, helping India expand its sporting culture beyond traditional arenas.

A Nation of Natural Climbers

India’s mountain ranges—the Himalayas, Western Ghats, Aravallis, and Satpuras—have long inspired climbing in youth. With focused coaching and institutional support, this natural instinct can translate into Olympic-level talent.

Thevaky’s feat symbolizes the untapped climbing potential in India—proof that with safety, training, and encouragement, even the youngest athletes can take bold steps toward excellence.

Climbing into India’s Sporting Narrative

On National Sports Day 2025, Thevaky’s fearless descent became more than a record. It stood as a metaphor for a young nation ready to shed fear, trust its potential, and climb into new sporting frontiers.

As India pursues the 2036 Olympics, the path will extend beyond stadiums. It will be built on cliffs, in schools, and through the courageous steps of children like Thevaky.

On that August morning, a girl from Tambaram—with roots in Tirupur’s Paramasivampalayam—showed India what courage looks like when blindfolded. Her rope carried not just her weight, but the weight of a nation’s sporting dreams waiting to climb higher.

The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sport, through the Department of Sports in India, remains an excellent role model in terms of administrative reforms in its involvement in Special Campaign 5.0. This is an all-encompassing, clean, and efficient program that is a big step towards the way the government departments are dealing with workspace optimisation and the delivery of services to the people.

Building on Special Campaign 4.0’s Success

Special Campaign 5.0 is based on the exceptional performance of the predecessor. On October 2, 2024, Special Campaign 4.0 was developed by the Department of Sports at Major Dhyanchand Stadium as the Fit India Swachhata Freedom Run 5.0. It was a symbolic, fun event that combined fitness promotion and cleanliness advocacy, and it formed an excellent image of national dedication to administration excellence.

There is a powerful precedent created by the quantifiable results of the last campaign. The officials in the department in collaboration with organizations such as Sports Authority of India (SAI), Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical Education (LNIPE), National Sports University (NSU), National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), and National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL) were able to overcome vital administrative bottlenecks.

Quantifiable Administrative Achievements

The success of the campaign can be evaluated using tangible deliverables directly related to the quality of the services provided to people. The parliamentary officials adjudicated 15 pending Member of Parliament references, and this is indicative of responsiveness to legislative concerns. Moreover, 30 Public Grievances were fully resolved, and the level of citizen satisfaction increased accordingly.

The accountability of parliament was critical during the initiative. The Department had, as a direct measure of progress, two Assurances to Parliament, and high-ranking officials continued to closely monitor these measures. Such a practical method guarantees transparency and keeps the population trusting the government procedures.

Comprehensive Cleanliness Operations

The enhancement of physical infrastructure was one of the pillars of the campaign’s success. The cleanliness drives included 44 field offices and headquarters locations of all the affiliated organisations that had been strategically identified. This policy helped to cover all the facets of the transformation process, as no facility was left behind.

The success of the reclamation of space is especially commendable. The group had managed to reclaim 12,000 square feet of unused or disorganised space. These new spaces were repurposed strategically to useful utility spaces, increasing the efficiency of the operations of various departments.

Financial Sustainability Through Resource Management

The economic feasibility of the campaign was indicated by the collection of revenue based on responsible resource management. Scrap disposal operations also earned Rs. 1,76,000, and this shows that financial sustainability is attainable through cleanliness initiatives when aiming at environmental goals.

Such a strategy will fit into the principles of the circular economy well, with waste products turning into valuable resources. The department has gone beyond compliance and has laid down the best practices that other state actors can copy in terms of sustainability.

Digital Engagement and Public Awareness

The amplification through social media was important in the visibility of the campaign. The Department and the organisations associated with it posted 24 strategic tweets on different platforms, using such hashtags as SpecialCampaign4.0 and SwachhBharat to reach as many people as possible.

The online communication approaches helped spread information to the people as well as mobilise people to contribute to the cleanliness efforts. This multi-platform strategy is an indication of current governance practices that integrate the use of technology to achieve greater social effects.

E-Waste Management Compliance

Special Campaign 5.0 pays special attention to electronic waste management, with a strict adherence to E-Waste Management Rules, 2022. This emphasis is based on increasing environmental fears and creating sustainable technology disposal and replacement practices.

The scientific way of managing e-waste establishes new standards for governmental organisations throughout the country. Correct disposal policies safeguard the environment, besides securing the safety of data and adherence to the legal systems.

Future-Ready Administrative Excellence

According to one of the senior officials of the department, the Department of Sports is fully ready to implement Special Campaign 5.0 in the most effective way possible, which is to introduce the new standards in workplace cleanliness and achieve the goal defined by DARPG.

This is not only a short-term goal of the campaign, but it forms the framework of continuous improvement of administrative procedures over a long period of time. The combination of cleanliness, efficiency and sustainability is a holistic solution to contemporary governance.

The systematic approach of the Department makes the results quantifiable, but not too much emphasis is placed on the main goals. Top management monitoring ensures accountability on implementation stages, and the cooperative mechanism with related organisations can make full use of resources and influence.

The Special Campaign 5.0 does not only imply a cleanliness campaign but rather a shift in the spirit of administration where efficiency, transparency, and the excellence of the service provided to the people is the top priority. Other government bodies are taking some of the ripple effects of the work of the Department of Sports, as it stands out as a model that other organisations can emulate in the administrative world of India.

The campaign presents the ability of strategic initiatives to attain multiple goals at the same time through disciplined performance, concentrated goals, and regular observation and evaluation, as well as ensuring the highest levels of delivery of service to the population.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 13: The Kolkata Thunderbolts produced a commanding performance to overpower the Chennai Blitz 15–11, 15–12, 15–13 in the RR Kabel Prime Volleyball League powered by Scapia at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium on Saturday. Jithin N was adjudged the Player of the Match, while team captain Ashwal Rai received the Game Changer of the Match award.

At the post-match presentation, Jithin expressed his gratitude to the coaching and support staff, management, and his teammates for their consistent encouragement. Captain Ashwal Rai credited the collective effort, saying, “This trophy belongs to the entire team. We are all playing as a unit.”

Pankaj Sharma made an impact early on with sharp attacks for Kolkata, as the team focused on exploiting the middle zone through Matin Takavar. The Chennai side, lacking experience in that department, struggled to counter. Sebastian Geraldo marked his PVL debut with powerful spikes and precise receptions that added strength to the Thunderbolts’ attack.

Head Coach Naser Shahnazi seemed to have mastered the 15-point format, guiding the team effectively through successful reviews, super serves, and super points. Behind the scenes, the franchise’s management has built a strong core. Team Director Sumedh Patodia, an alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, has been instrumental in shaping the Thunderbolts’ vision. “Our top priority is team culture, and our main focus is to develop volleyball talent across India,” said the young director.

Chairman and Principal Owner CA Pawan Kumar Patodia shared before the match that the players were emotionally charged. “Our team is bound like a family, and one of our senior members, Manager Nayan, has suffered a great personal loss. The players decided to dedicate their performance to him,” he said.

Chennai’s libero Shrikanth entertained the crowd with his acrobatic digs, but he met stiff resistance from Thunderbolts’ Libero Hari Prasad BS, who displayed exceptional reflexes throughout the match. “We are just getting into rhythm and improving with each game. Every day, we learn from one another,” said Hari, a three-year veteran with Kolkata Thunderbolts.

Ashwal Rai continued to impress in his new position, securing a crucial super point with a solid block against Luiz Felipe Perotto. While Chennai’s defence faltered, leaving gaps that Kolkata capitalised on, the Thunderbolts’ defensive setup remained rock-solid, frustrating every Chennai attempt to build momentum.

From setter Jithin’s flawless passes to Muhammed Iqbal’s precise blocking, Kolkata’s coordination was seamless, drawing loud cheers from over 500 fans in the stands. Ashwal’s all-round performance was well complemented by the team’s collective effort. Late substitute Suryansh Tomar provided the finishing touches with spirited play. “It’s an honour to play alongside such experienced players. The camaraderie this season has been exceptional,” Tomar said, reflecting on his return to the squad.

With this victory, Kolkata Thunderbolts climbed to third place on the points table, as more than one-third of the league stage matches have been completed. Their next challenge will be against the newest franchise, the Goa Guardians, known for their hard-fought five-set thrillers. The match will take place at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. Another win could take Kolkata a step closer to securing a semi-final berth in Season 4 of the PVL.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 16: In a contest that had every ingredient of top-tier volleyball, Bengaluru Torpedoes overcame Calicut Heroes 20-18, 20-18, 7-15, 11-15, 15-12 in a gripping RR Kabel Prime Volleyball League clash on Wednesday. Shameemudheen of Calicut was named Player of the Match for his stellar defensive effort.

With Indian badminton star H.S. Prannoy watching from the stands, the match turned into a roller-coaster of nerves. Bengaluru took the opening two sets before Calicut mounted a brave comeback, forcing a decider. The Torpedoes, however, displayed greater control in the crucial moments to walk away with victory, while Calicut earned its first point of the season.

Sethu T.R. initiated Bengaluru’s attack early, mixing deft drop shots with well-timed serves. Calicut’s team cohesion kept them competitive, but Sethu’s thunderous super serve closed the opening set for Bengaluru.

In the second, Sivanesan gave Calicut a head start with aggressive serving. Yet, Jalen Penrose’s sharp net play and Joel Benjamin’s clinical strike through a double block helped Bengaluru edge another tight set.

The Heroes responded strongly in the third, as Tharusha Chamath and Vikas Maan turned the tide. Shameemudheen’s impeccable blocking and Santosh S.’s conversion of the super point saw Calicut reduce the deficit.

The fourth set followed the same pattern, with Calicut dictating the pace. Bengaluru’s service errors hurt their rhythm, allowing Shameem and Tharusha to combine effectively and draw level.

In the decider, both sides traded blows point for point. Joel stood tall for Bengaluru with his mid-court power, while Tharusha and Shameemudheen kept Calicut in the chase. Ultimately, Jalen Penrose’s explosive spike tilted the balance in Bengaluru’s favour, sealing one of the league’s most entertaining matches yet.

Jeffrey Menzel tried to close the set for Goa, but the Toofans’ power pair of Anu James and Chourio stepped up when it mattered most to take the first set 16–14.

The Toofans carried their momentum into the second set, with Carlos Berrios dominating from the outside. Despite Menzel’s sharp net play keeping the Guardians competitive, setter Saqlain Tariq’s precise assists to Chourio and Berrios guided the Toofans to a confident 15–11 win, putting them two sets ahead.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 17: The defending champions Calicut Heroes defeated the Kolkata Thunderbolts 15–10, 15–11, 15–12 in the RR Kabel Prime Volleyball League powered by Scapia – Season 4 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, on Friday, to register their first win of the season. Mohan Ukkrapandian was named the Player of the Match.

Shameemudheen continued his excellent form for Calicut, producing crucial blocks against Ashwal Rai and attacking effectively from the middle zone. Sustained service pressure from Ashok Bishnoi helped Calicut gain an early edge. Kolkata’s overseas star Matin Takavar replied with powerful spikes, but frequent service errors disrupted their rhythm and momentum.

Santhosh joined the offensive play for Calicut, allowing captain and setter Mohan Ukkrapandian to distribute the ball with precision and control. The pair of Vikas Maan and Shameem established a solid blocking line, making it difficult for Kolkata’s frontline hitters to break through.

As the match progressed, Calicut committed a few service errors, giving Kolkata a glimmer of hope. However, Pankaj Sharma’s cross-body spike sailed wide, enabling Calicut to take a 2–0 lead. Shameem continued to stand tall in defence, blocking fierce attacks from Rahul K. and maintaining Calicut’s dominance.

Despite accurate passing from reserve setter Jithin, the Thunderbolts were unable to capitalise on key attacking chances due to Calicut’s composed defence and sharp court positioning. Santhosh and Tharusha Chamath stayed consistent with their strikes as Calicut sealed a commanding 3–0 victory, bagging all three points.

Kolkata Thunderbolts now hold on to slim playoff hopes, with two matches remaining—against Hyderabad and Delhi. “We are known for comebacks, and we will bounce back from this defeat as well,” said Chairman and Principal Owner, CA Pawan Kumar Patodia.

In this contest of champions, the result proved to be a significant morale booster for the reigning champions, Calicut Heroes, who have endured a tough season so far in Season 4.

With one match left—the Kerala Derby against Kochi Blue Spikers—team owner Safeer PT expressed his joy, saying, “This win is for the fans and supporters of Calicut Heroes. We still have a fight left in us!”

Sameer Chaudhary was adjudged the Player of the Match. With this emphatic win, the Blitz climbed into the top four with 9 points from 6 matches.

Tarun Gowda and Jerome Vinith provided a strong start for Chennai Blitz, while Jesus Chourio’s all-round play kept the Toofans competitive in the opening exchanges. Luiz Perotto found a breakthrough past Delhi’s defensive wall, as blocker Suraj Chaudhary’s smart work from the middle helped Chennai take an early advantage.

Delhi’s libero Anand impressed with his acrobatic saves, keeping his side in contention. However, setter Sameer maintained his sharp rhythm, rotating attacking options efficiently to keep the Toofans under pressure. The presence of Azizbek Kuchkorov added extra firepower to Chennai’s front line, helping the Blitz tighten their grip on the match.

Exploiting Delhi’s weakness in the middle zone, Sameer continued to set up Suraj for successful pipe attacks as the Blitz extended their lead. Jerome Vinith, with his precision over power, found narrow gaps in Delhi’s defence to pick up crucial points.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], October 23: The defending champions, Calicut Heroes, defeated the Kolkata Thunderbolts 15–10, 15–11, 15–12 in the RR Kabel Prime Volleyball League powered by Scapia – Season 4 at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, on Friday, to register their first win of the season. Mohan Ukkrapandian was named the Player of the Match.

Shameemudheen continued his impressive form for Calicut, producing crucial blocks against Ashwal Rai and attacking effectively from the middle zone. Sustained service pressure from Ashok Bishnoi helped Calicut gain an early advantage. Kolkata’s overseas star Matin Takavar responded with powerful spikes, but frequent service errors disrupted their rhythm and momentum.

Santhosh joined the offensive play for Calicut, allowing captain and setter Mohan Ukkrapandian to distribute the ball with precision and control. The pair of Vikas Maan and Shameem formed a solid blocking wall, making it difficult for Kolkata’s frontline hitters to penetrate.

As the match progressed, Calicut committed a few service errors, giving Kolkata a glimmer of hope. However, Pankaj Sharma’s cross-court spike sailed wide, enabling Calicut to take a 2–0 lead. Shameem continued to stand tall in defence, blocking fierce attacks from Rahul K. and maintaining Calicut’s dominance.

Despite accurate passing from reserve setter Jithin, the Thunderbolts were unable to capitalise on key attacking opportunities due to Calicut’s composed defence and sharp court positioning. Santhosh and Tharusha Chamath stayed consistent with their strikes as Calicut sealed a commanding 3–0 victory, bagging all three points.

The Kolkata Thunderbolts now hold on to slim playoff hopes, with two matches remaining — against Hyderabad and Delhi. “We are known for comebacks, and we will bounce back from this defeat as well,” said Chairman and Principal Owner, CA Pawan Kumar Patodia.

In this clash of champions, the result proved to be a significant morale booster for the reigning titleholders, Calicut Heroes, who have endured a tough season so far in Season 4.

With one match left — the Kerala Derby against Kochi Blue Spikers — team owner Safeer PT expressed his joy, saying, “This win is for the fans and supporters of Calicut Heroes.

Aayush made two important blocks as Delhi regained composure. A risky super point for the Thunderbolts backfired with Carlos’ super spike. But Aayush’s overhit shot cost the Toofans a super point, and the Thunderbolts took the lead, winning the third set.

Losing two sets meant that Delhi were out of contention for a place in the semi-finals. But the result did little to deter Delhi skipper Saqlain Tariq from seeking a win. Abhishek Rajeev and Muhammed Jasim led their fightback. With a smart block from Jasim, Delhi pushed the game to the fifth set.

With Kolkata’s Matin off the court, Delhi began running the play from the middle, utilising both Jasim and Aayush. Matin’s return put pressure on the Toofans. But tremendous defending from libero Aljo helped the Toofans win a super point, and the Toofans scripted an unforgettable win, eliminating Kolkata.

John’s quick block on Rahul earned the Hawks a decisive super point, helping them capture the third set and keep their hopes alive.

In the fourth set, Lamounier orchestrated Hyderabad’s attack from the centre, but Pankaj and Ashwal responded with thunderous cross-court smashes to wrest back control. A vital super point win pushed Kolkata further ahead, and Rahul’s explosive spike widened the gap.

The match opened with both teams attacking from the middle. Delhi’s Jesus Chourio made the first significant impact. Ashwal Rai maintained pressure for the Thunderbolts with strong spikes. A smart review call from coach Manoj Nair helped the Toofans secure the first set.

Pankaj Sharma’s missile-like service tested Delhi’s defence. Ashwal continued to challenge Delhi’s libero Aljo Sabu. Matin Takavar executed a superb block on Chourio, and the Thunderbolts claimed the second set.

Aayush delivered two key blocks as Delhi regained composure. A risky super point attempt by the Thunderbolts backfired with Carlos’ spike. However, Aayush’s overhit shot cost the Toofans a super point, allowing the Thunderbolts to take the lead and win the third set.

Losing two sets left Delhi out of contention for a semi-final spot. Yet, the outcome did not deter Delhi skipper Saqlain Tariq from seeking a win. Abhishek Rajeev and Muhammed Jasim led the comeback. With a smart block from Jasim, Delhi pushed the match into a decisive fifth set.

With Kolkata’s Matin off the court, Delhi ran plays from the middle, utilising both Jasim and Aayush. Matin’s return put pressure on the Toofans, but outstanding defending from libero Aljo helped Delhi secure a vital super point. The Toofans ultimately scripted a memorable win, eliminating Kolkata.

Kochi (Kerala) [India], July 19: Saly Samson has been selected as the Captain of the Kochi Blue Tigers for the second Season of the Kerala Cricket League (KCL). His brother and Indian international cricketer, Sanju Samson, will serve as the Vice-Captain. The announcement was made by team owner Subhash G Manuel through a social media post on Monday.

He added ‘Two brothers, one goal. A new chapter in history is about to begin. The battle is set to commence. The post also stated that the roar of the Blue Tigers will be louder than ever in the second season.

Saly Samson, a seasoned cricketer in the Kerala domestic circuit, brings with him years of experience and recent form. He scored a remarkable century in the Thiruvananthapuram A Division League last week, which was followed by his appointment as the team captain. Sanju, who brings extensive experience from international and Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket, is expected to play a crucial role in the team’s strategy and performance this season.

Although Saly featured in the team during the inaugural season, Sanju did not participate last year. For the upcoming season, he has been signed as the most expensive player in the league, acquired by Kochi Blue Tigers for ₹26.8 lakh during the player auction.

The Kochi squad for Season 2 features a balanced mix of youth and experience. Veteran cricketer KJ Rakesh, the oldest player in the league, and young talent Jobin Joby are part of the line-up. The team also includes Akhil KG, Alfi Francis John, Muhammed Ashik, Afrad N, Vipul Shakti, Muhammed Shanu, Ajeesh K, Jerin PS, Nikhil Thottath, Akhin Sathar, Aasif KM, and Vinoop Manoharan.

Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], August 23: Kochi Blue Tigers cruised to victory against Trivandrum Royals in the second match of KCL Season 2, winning by eight wickets. After bowling out Royals for 97 in 20 overs, Kochi chased down the target in just 11.5 overs. Mohammed Ashiq, who claimed three wickets, was named Man of the Match.

Trivandrum Royals stumbled early due to costly errors, including three run-outs that derailed their innings. Explosive opener S Subin was the first to fall without scoring, undone by a sharp throw from Sanju Samson.

Soon after, Riya Basheer was removed by Akhin Sathar. At just 22 runs, Royals had already lost Krishna Prasad and Govind Pai to poor running between the wickets, while M Nikhil departed for a duck.

Abdul Basith (17) tried to steady the innings, but it was the lower-order resistance from all-rounders Abhijith Praveen (28) and Basil Thampi (20) that pushed Royals close to three figures. For Kochi, Ashiq and Akhin starred with three wickets apiece.

In reply, Kochi chased comfortably. Openers Jobin Jobi (8) and Vinoop Manoharan (14) fell cheaply, but skipper Saly Samson anchored the innings with a blazing unbeaten 50 off 30 balls, including five fours and three sixes. He was well supported by Mohammed Shanu, who finished unbeaten on 23. The pair ensured Kochi reached the target with ease. TS Vinil picked up the lone wicket for Royals.

Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], August 28: In a remarkable display of talent and dedication, 11-year-old Vardaan Laddha from Pune secured two silver medals for India at the Asian Open Short Track Speed Skating Trophy 2025. Vardaan’s impressive performance came in the highly competitive 333m and 500m events.

This is a historic moment for India, as the country hosted this prestigious international winter sports competition for the very first time. The event, which ran from August 20 to 23, brought together over 240 skaters and officials from more than 11 Asian nations. It was held at the newly opened Himadri Ice Skating Rink in Dehradun, India’s only Olympic-sized ice rink, making it the biggest winter sports event ever hosted by the nation.

The successful hosting of this trophy was made possible through the leadership and vision of Mr. Amitabh Sharma, President of the Ice Skating Association of India (ISAI), with the support of officials and dignitaries from the Asian Skating Union (ASU) and the International Skating Union (ISU), the sport’s main governing bodies. The Asian Open Trophy 2025 was graced by the Honourable Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Mr. Pushkar Singh Dhami.

Vardaan’s recent wins add to an already impressive year. In June, he clinched four gold medals at both the Maharashtra State Championship and the 20th National Short Track Speed Skating Championship, also held in Dehradun. These national events, organized by the ISAI, were attended by Uttarakhand’s Sports Minister, Smt. Rekha Arya.

His achievements build on a consistent record of excellence, including six gold medals at the Rural Games of India (Feb 2024), a gold medal at the RSFI Mini State Championship (Mar 2024), and a silver medal at the 19th National Short Track Speed Skating Championship (2024).
To prepare for international competition, Vardaan recently trained in South Korea, a global powerhouse for short-track speed skating. His training has been an incredible journey of discipline, with his 4 AM daily practice routine beginning when he was just seven and a half years old.

Vardaan credits his success to his strong faith in God, his parents, Pranita and Saurabh Laddha, his coaches at Youngster’s Skating Club, Ice Skating Association of Maharashtra, along with Coach Joe and Coach Kim from Korea, who were officially appointed as India’s coaches for the Asian Open Trophy 2025.

Says the proud father, Saurabh, “My wife Pranita has undoubtedly been Vardaan’s constant companion, motivator, and hustler for his success.”

New Delhi [India], July 7: The Indian Racing Festival (IRF), India’s premier city-based motorsport league, has just entered a thrilling new chapter as Kannada megastar Kichcha Sudeepa officially acquires the Bengaluru franchise and launches his racing team: Kichcha’s Kings Bengaluru (KKB).

This landmark move is more than a business decision — it’s a defining cultural crossover between the silver screen and the speed track, bringing with it the energy and influence of one of South India’s most celebrated stars into the high-stakes world of motorsport. A commanding presence on screen, Sudeep now shifts gears to make his mark as an owner, visionary, and sporting ambassador, driving a new era of racing from Karnataka to the national stage.

The Indian Racing Festival 2025 kicks off this August, with franchise teams from Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Goa and more battling it out across thrilling street circuits and world-class tracks. Blending fierce competition with high-impact entertainment, the league positions itself as India’s first true sports-entertainment spectacle. This season is poised to be the boldest yet — with an emphasis on regional fanbases, celebrity involvement, and platform-building for homegrown talent.

Known for his charismatic performances, iconic dialogues, and a massive pan-India fanbase, Kichcha Sudeepa has long been one of Indian cinema’s most respected and influential figures. With films that have broken records and transcended languages, he is not just a movie star — he is a symbol of Karnataka’s cultural strength and storytelling legacy.

His entry infuses the Indian Racing Festival with star power, emotional depth, and a cultural identity that resonates far beyond the track.

“This is not just another team,” said Sudeep.

“It’s an emotion. Racing, like cinema, is pure adrenaline. It’s about timing, control, instinct — and above all, heart. Kichcha’s Kings Bengaluru is my tribute to the spirit of this city, its talent, its grit, and its youth.

Motorsport is ready for its mainstream moment in India — and I’m here to fuel that fire from the South.”

KKB: A Movement Born in Bengaluru, Driven by Stardom, Built for Speed

The synergy is undeniable: cinema creates stars; racing builds heroes. And with KKB, the two worlds collide to inspire a new generation of fans.

Akhilesh Reddy, Chairman & MD of RPPL, said: “The entry of a superstar like Sudeep into IRF is a game-changer. His name carries legacy, pride, and influence that few can match. With KKB, we now have a team that represents the soul of the South — grounded, ambitious, and unapologetically passionate. This is what motorsport in India needs.”

Cinema x Racing: A New Era of Sporting Entertainment

The Indian Racing Festival 2025 will feature city-based teams from Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chennai, Goa, and more — competing on thrilling street circuits and world-class tracks. With gender-balanced driver lineups, celebrity ownership, and national broadcast reach, IRF is redefining what motorsport can mean in India.

A Look at IRF’s Twin Engines:

Indian Racing League (IRL) – India’s first city-based, gender-neutral motorsport championship.

FIA Formula 4 Indian Championship (F4IC) – A globally sanctioned series offering Indian drivers a path to international racing careers.

Kichcha Sudeepa joins an elite lineup of celebrity owners, including John Abraham (Goa), Sourav Ganguly (Kolkata), Naga Chaitanya (Hyderabad) and Arjun Kapoor (Delhi) — each contributing their unique influence to turn IRF into a dynamic blend of competition, entertainment, and cultural identity.

New Delhi [India], July 2: Cricket may be one of the world’s most loved sports, but in the U.S., it has long struggled to move beyond immigrant backyards and local leagues. While the arrival of Major League Cricket (MLC) and the World Cup success of the U.S. national team is promising, one key element remains missing — a structured, sustainable feeder system for young talent.

That’s exactly the gap Cricmax Connect, founded by Vinay Bhimjiani (former CEO of USA Cricket), is working to fill.

Cricmax Connect and the Youth Cricket Development Board are delivering the only  Olympic-aligned cricket development platform in Los Angeles, through an exclusive partnership with the City of Los Angeles and the Play LA Program, a joint initiative with the LA Olympics committee. The initiative has already reached over 10,000 youth in Los Angeles through PlayLA Summer Camps, and is rapidly expanding into New York, New Jersey, Florida, and Chicago.

And at its core lies a mission far bigger than sport — it’s about building identity, a community, and an opportunity.

Closing the “Missing Middle”

“In India, you have pathways like the Ranji Trophy, school and district tournaments that feed into national selection. In the U.S., we’ve never had that,” says Vinay Bhimjiani, Founder & CEO, Cricmax Connect. “What we have are commercial academies developing individual talent in silos. What’s missing is the middle — a national, schools, parks and communities-supported structure that connects grassroots participation to higher-level competition. That’s what Cricmax Connect is building.”

Cricmax Connect was launched with this very purpose: to create a new, tech-enabled youth cricket ecosystem that is scalable, inclusive, and rooted in community-level engagement. The platform integrates grassroots learning with structured programming, bridging the gap between raw interest and real opportunity.

A Bridge for the Next Generation

The timing couldn’t be more critical. With cricket returning to the Olympics, the sport has a global spotlight, and the U.S. is being seen as the next frontier. But as media and investors’ interest grow, youth development must keep pace.

“Cricket can be a bridge — especially for South Asian diaspora youth in America,” Bhimjiani adds.“So many kids grow up disconnected from their heritage. Cricket gives them pride, purpose, and belonging. But we also want to make it appealing beyond that — for any child in any zip code.”

Cricmax Connect is already working with schools, parks, and city-run camps to embed cricket into youth programming, and has built a curriculum that focuses not just on skills, but also character, confidence, and culture.

Celebrating the Movement

This August, Cricmax Connect will take its message to one of the world’s most iconic locations. On August 15, 2025, it will host a Cricket Showcase at Times Square, celebrating India’s Independence Day while spotlighting youth engagement and cricket’s growing footprint in the U.S. That same day, the Empire State Building will light up, symbolising how the sport is illuminating a new cultural and athletic chapter in America.

Just two days later, on August 17, Cricmax Connect will also feature prominently at the Park Avenue India Day Parade — engaging communities and showing how cricket is becoming part of the American mainstream.

Building the Infrastructure, Not Just the Hype

“For years, we’ve seen cricket thrive in pockets across the country, but that’s not enough,” says Atul Rai, Chairman of the Youth Cricket Development Board, which partners with Cricmax Connect on this initiative.“We need a unifying ecosystem — a real feeder structure. Our goal is to take the sport into schools, public rec centres, and provide scholarship programs — so a kid playing cricket has the same opportunity as one playing football or soccer.”

The ambition doesn’t stop at participation. Cricmax Connect’s roadmap includes scholarship-linked programming, league development, and potential entry into NCAA-level conversations. The dream? A future where cricket is a mainstream youth sport, complete with pathways to college, professional play, and Olympic representation.

The Future Needs to be Structured, Scalable, and Now

With tech giants like Google and Microsoft investing in U.S. cricket, and with media exposure from MLC on the rise, the momentum is undeniable. But growth needs structure for longevity.

Cricmax Connect is ensuring that America doesn’t just play cricket — it builds an ecosystem where the game can thrive.

“We’re not here for a moment,” Bhimjiani says. “We’re building a movement — one city, one school, one park, one player at a time.”

Chandigarh [India], July 2: The groundbreaking PAR 3 MASTERS, India’s first-ever Pitch & Putt Golf Tournament Tour, wrapped up the first leg of its India journey with a spectacular finale at the iconic The Chandigarh Golf Club. This innovative format, built around short-game precision and strategy, began its tour in Panchkula and made stops at Oxford Golf Club (Pune), Jammu Tawi Golf Course, and Rambagh Golf Club (Jaipur), before culminating in Chandigarh.

The event marked a milestone in Indian golf, with over 250 golfers teeing off as early as 5:00 AM, undeterred by the hot and sultry weather. Participants included men, women, seniors, juniors, and special invitees—all united by their passion for the game. The unique Par 3 format, which limited players to just three clubs (including a putter), created a fast-paced, thrilling experience akin to the T20 format in cricket.

Club President Mr. Ravibir Singh expressed pride in hosting this tournament, stating, “It is indeed a pleasure for The Chandigarh Golf Club to host such an innovative tournament, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all participants. The response has been overwhelming, and this format truly brings a new dimension to the game. The club proposes hosting this on a more regular basis.”

Club Captain Capt. Mohanbir Singh echoed this sentiment: “This format brought new energy to the club. Our members thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and are already looking forward to future editions.”

Munish Arora, Founder of Can and Able Entertainment and Promoter of Par 3 Masters, added, “This is golf’s T20 moment—fast, exciting, and accessible. We are proud to bring Pitch & Putt officially to India, under the guidance of the global governing body. Chandigarh has set the tone with a successful finale to the first leg, and we’re excited to expand to more cities post-monsoon. Stay tuned for a major announcement soon.”

Despite its celebratory nature, the prize distribution ceremony was held with a subdued tone in light of the nation’s mourning over the tragic recent air crash. Organizers respectfully limited the festivities to a simple presentation of awards to category winners.

M. P. Singh clinched the top spot in the Men’s Category, with Saahir Singh finishing as the runner-up. In the Women’s Category, Roop Aulakh emerged victorious, while Kulwant Kaur took the runner-up position—both delivering impressive performances in this inaugural Pitch & Putt event.

A separate 9-hole Seniors Tournament also took place, where Brig. D. S. Thukral secured the winner’s title and A. K. Batta claimed the runner-up spot.

Adding to the competitive excitement were the ‘Closest to the Pin’ contests, which thrilled spectators and players alike. These were won by Dr. Narinder Arora and the tournament’s youngest participant, Nihaal Cheema, both showcasing exceptional accuracy.

A standout moment of the event came when S. S. Sodhi achieved a hole-in-one on the 9th hole—a rare and celebrated feat that brought a spectacular close to the tournament.

Tournament integrity was overseen by Tavleen Batra, former professional golfer and trainer, who served as the official referee.

The event was organized by Can and Able Entertainment, one of India’s leading sports and entertainment management firms. It was presented by Indian Oil, with Royal Ranthambore as the Celebrations Partner and IGP as the Gifting Partner.

New Delhi [India], December 10: In a historic moment for the Nepal Premier League, Pokhara Avengers achieved a glorious 10-wicket victory over the Lumbini Lions, with several remarkable records set during the match. The team completed the first century in the league, posted the highest score in a powerplay with 80 runs, and for the first time in a single inning, we witnessed both a century and a half-century. This extraordinary performance not only solidified the Avengers’ dominance but also brought attention to their unique jersey design, which, notably free of sponsor logos, has set the team apart in the league.

In a move that echoes Chelsea’s decision to play matches without a front-of-shirt sponsor logo, the Pokhara Avengers have leveraged this unique opportunity to promote tourism and raise awareness about climate change. According to a long-term Climate Risk Index (2000–2019) study by Germanwatch in 2011, Nepal ranks as the 10th most vulnerable country to climate change. The melting of snow accelerated due to climate change may temporarily increase river water levels, but it is expected to cause a long-term decline in water resources.

Gandaki Province, home to the beautiful city of Pokhara and surrounded by majestic Himalayan ranges, faces significant risks due to climate change. Numerous studies have highlighted Nepal’s vulnerability because of its unique geography. The Himalayan region is particularly affected by rising temperatures, which lead to snow melting, the formation of new glacial lakes, the expansion of existing ones, and an increased risk of glacial lake outburst floods.

If climate change continues to impact the Gandaki region, melting glaciers will threaten our natural beauty and, consequently, the Gandaki Province’s economy, which relies heavily on tourism. This is a matter of responsibility for all of us.

Since its inception, Pokhara Avengers has considered raising awareness about climate change through sports paramount. To emphasise this, we unveiled our jersey at Lomangthang, located nearly 4,000 meters above sea level, under the theme of global warming. We’ve also raised flags on Himalayan peaks, symbolising the urgency of protecting our fragile environment.

As a team representing Gandaki Province, which thrives on its tourism-based economy, we also aim to promote Pokhara as “Pure as Paradise”, our tagline highlighting the city’s unmatched beauty. While several sponsors approached us to place their logos on our jersey, we prioritised raising awareness about climate change. Instead of advertisements, the front of our jersey reads: “Glaciers Matter”, a message emphasising the critical importance of protecting our glaciers.

Upender further added, “As someone from Dehradun, I am passionate about introducing Heyball to players in North India and beyond. Our goal is to make the sport exciting, accessible, and a game-changer for young talent across the country.”

New Delhi [India], December 19: In the world of sports, stories of passion and dedication often emerge that inspire generations to come. Such is the story of Mr. Tapan Acharya, the recently re-elected President of the Roll Ball Federation of India, whose extraordinary commitment and vision have brought a fresh sparkle to the world of Roll Ball.

Milind Kshirsagar’s heartfelt Facebook post aptly sums up the remarkable journey of this dynamic leader, who was first captured on camera during the National Games in Goa in October-November last year. “His way of working and his visionary approach were unlike anything I had seen before,” wrote Kshirsagar, recounting how Tapan’s meticulous planning and execution during the event revealed his potential to lead a new generation towards bigger dreams.

The Struggles of a Legacy

Roll Ball, a sport born out of the determination of its founder, Mr. Raju Dabhade, has faced its fair share of struggles. Over 25 years, Dabhade’s relentless efforts ensured the game’s survival and growth, culminating in six World Cups and its adoption in 61 countries. The torch of this legacy now passes to Tapan Acharya, a leader with a diamond-like clarity of vision and the ability to act decisively under pressure.

A Visionary at Work

Kshirsagar vividly recalls witnessing Tapan’s leadership during the National Championships in Pune. “Destiny brought us together on stage, and I got a closer look at his leadership qualities. Though initially appointed as an Interim President for a year, his exceptional work earned him unanimous re-election for a full four-year term in October 2024,” he noted.

Tapan Acharya, a prominent businessman,  filmmaker  and influential figure in Goa’s political circles, combines his professional acumen with a passion for sports development. His proactive engagement in initiatives like the Roll Ball League in Mumbai has left a lasting impression on his peers.

A President Like No Other 

The narrative reaches its peak with an incident during preparations for the fourth Asia Cup in Goa, set to take place from December 16 to 19. Teams from across the globe began arriving, and Tapan personally ensured every detail of their arrival was handled flawlessly.

Recounting the events, Kshirsagar shares, “When the Philippine team arrived in batches late at night, there was chaos. One player landed hours earlier, others arrived around midnight, and confusion reigned. Despite delegating the task to me and providing his own car for the job, Tapan personally intervened when things got complicated.”

In an extraordinary act of leadership, Tapan drove across Goa in the dead of night, ensuring each player was located and safely transported to their hotel. “By the time the players settled into their rooms at Ocean View Hotel, it was past 4 AM, but Tapan was still in touch, coordinating every step,” Kshirsagar marveled.

Beyond Expectations

“Will the president of a sports organization behave like this?” Kshirsagar asks rhetorically, marveling at Tapan’s hands-on approach. His actions reflect not only a deep sense of responsibility but also an unmatched dedication to the sport and its players.

A New Era for Roll Ball

Under Tapan Acharya’s presidency, Roll Ball is poised for a renaissance. His leadership signifies the dawn of a new era, where the sport not only thrives but also inspires countless young athletes to dream big. As Milind Kshirsagar aptly puts it, “Raju’s legacy has truly found a diamond to carry it forward.”

From sleepless nights ensuring logistical perfection to long-term plans for the game’s growth, Tapan Acharya exemplifies what it means to lead by example. With such passionate stewardship, the future of Roll Ball shines brighter than ever.

New Delhi [India], January 09: A chilly, misty morning at Panchkula Golf Club set the stage for a groundbreaking moment in Indian golf—the debut of the Pitch and Putt format. With a mission to make golf more accessible and exciting for people across the country, this new format also positions India as a rising star on the global golfing map.

The inaugural Par3 Masters tournament kicked off with an impressive turnout of 178 golfers, including club members and special invitees. Despite the 8-degree chill and the fog lingering over the course, the participants were eager and enthusiastic. The first group of 84 players embraced the challenge of the new format, where each hole was set to Par 3, and players were limited to just three clubs—including a putter.

As the morning progressed, the fog began to lift, and the sun finally broke through, bringing warmth and energy to the course. The entire 18-hole layout had been reimagined to accommodate the Pitch and Putt format, and the response from the golfers was overwhelmingly positive.

Col. Dhillon, the General Manager of Panchkula Golf Club, shared his excitement about the event: “As both a golfer and an administrator, this was a fantastic opportunity. I knew our members would love this new format, and seeing all the spots fill up in under four hours was proof of its appeal. We’re proud to be the first club to bring Pitch and Putt to such a large scale, and it’s thrilling to see it take off so successfully.”

Munish Arora, Founder of Can and Able Entertainment, was also excited about the launch of this fresh approach to the game: “As a golfer for nearly two decades, we’ve organized over 50 golfing events, but we’ve always wanted to push the boundaries. The creation of Par3 – Pitch and Putt is the realization of that vision. We’re eager to take this format to more cities across India in the near future,” he said.

Dilip Jayaram (DJ) and Mahesh Ranka, representing GameChangerZ, emphasized the broader potential of the new format. “Pitch and Putt has a great future in making golf more popular and accessible to a wider audience. It’s a format that can truly grow into a sustainable and beloved sports property,” they noted.

Adding a touch of professionalism to the event, former pro golfer turned trainer, Tavleen Batra, served as the tournament referee, ensuring fair play and a smooth experience for all participants.

The players faced a unique challenge on a course where holes ranged from 55 to 105 yards. With the restriction of only three clubs, including a putter, the Pitch and Putt format tested the golfers’ precision, strategy, and skills to the maximum.

As the day came to a close, a lively prize-giving ceremony celebrated the winners and runners-up in both the Men’s and Women’s categories. Rajat Seth took home the Men’s trophy, with GC Sharma securing the runner-up spot. In the Women’s category, Kamlesh Khanna claimed victory, while Shalini Sheron finished as the runner-up. T.P. Singh was also recognized for winning the Closest to the Pin contest. The evening wrapped up with great entertainment, making it a memorable occasion for all.

The Panchkula Golf Club Par3 Masters is just the beginning of a new chapter in Indian golf. With more tournaments planned across the country, the Pitch and Putt format promises to make golf more exciting, accessible, and popular than ever before.

New Delhi [India], March 10: Robin Uthappa, the former batter has consistently shown a miraculous ability to foresee the resurgence of top cricketers, proving his deep understanding of the game and the mindset of champions.  For example, Uthappa stood firm in his belief that Virat Kohli would silence his critics and return to his dominant best. Now, Kohli has done just that, reaffirming his stature as one of the greatest batters of the modern era. It wasn’t just a blind prediction—it stemmed from his keen cricketing insight, shaped by years of playing at the highest level.

Earlier Robin Uthappa supported K L Rahul when the Karnataka batter faced widespread criticism ahead of India’s tour of Australia. Uthappa remained steadfast in his belief that Rahul possessed the temperament and skill to deliver under pressure. Next name on Uthappa’s list of unwavering support is Sanju Samson. Having played alongside him in the Ranji Trophy during his stint with Kerala, Uthappa recognized Samson’s potential long before the right-hander’s current purple patch. Even when Samson struggled to find a permanent spot in the Indian team, Uthappa remained vocal about his abilities. That belief has been justified in 2024, as Samson has emerged as India’s leading run-scorer in T20s, showcasing his explosive batting talent.

Robin Uthappa’s insights don’t just stem from personal bonds but from a genuine understanding of what makes a player tick. As a former cricketer who has experienced both ups and downs, he recognizes the importance of backing talent even when the world writes them off.  Cricket is an ever-evolving sport, Uthappa foresees the rise of struggling stars. It’s shows his unique talent of assessment, calculation and prediction.

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], April 22: Cricket meets culture as KL Rahul, star cricketer and key player of the Delhi Capitals, touches down in Lucknow. Ahead of the highly anticipated IPL face-off between Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals on April 22, KL Rahul has checked into the city’s pride, The Centrum, Lucknow’s first homegrown five-star luxury hotel.

Located in the heart of the city, The Centrum is more than just a five-star hotel. It’s a cultural landmark built on the vision of Sarvesh Goel, a multifaceted personality who is not only a successful entrepreneur but also a passionate sports enthusiast, educator, and Bollywood film producer. Goel is the Chairman of the Mansingh Goel Group and the creative force behind AND Productions, his banner for film production with deep connections in the entertainment world.

KL Rahul’s arrival has created quite the buzz, not only because of his stature as a cricketer but also because of his personal milestones. Recently, he and his wife, Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty, welcomed their first child—a baby girl. The news brought joy to fans across the nation and has further cemented Rahul’s image as a family man, combining elegance on the field with warmth off it.

The cricketer, known for his calm demeanor, sharp technique, and consistent performances across all formats, has played pivotal roles for Team India and in the IPL. Now representing the Delhi Capitals, he continues to be one of the most admired and marketable faces in Indian cricket. His Bollywood ties through his marriage to the daughter of veteran actor Suniel Shetty have only added to his star power, making him a crossover icon in both cricket and entertainment.

The Centrum, where KL Rahul is staying, has become a preferred hub for celebrities, sportspersons, and global dignitaries alike. The hotel has hosted top names during major events like the G20 Summit, ICC Cricket World Cup, and various IPL matches. What sets it apart is its deep connection to Lucknow’s heritage, reflected in every detail, from its architecture to its Nawabi hospitality.

“We are thrilled to host KL Rahul and the Delhi Capitals. For us, it’s not just about offering five-star amenities, but curating a cultural experience rooted in the elegance of Lucknow,” said Sarvesh Goel.

KL Rahul’s stay at The Centrum and his upcoming match against his former team, the Lucknow Super Giants, add a dramatic flair to the IPL narrative. Fans are eager to see how the celebrated batsman performs on a ground where he once led from the front.

As Lucknow readies itself to host one of the most exciting IPL fixtures of the season, The Centrum stands tall, not just as a hotel, but as a symbol of the city’s growing stature in sports, cinema, and hospitality. And at the center of it all, two names shine: KL Rahul, the cricketer turned father and icon, and Sarvesh Goel, the visionary blending entrepreneurship with a passion for culture, sports, and creativity. With The Centrum as the backdrop, this meeting of sportsmanship, cinema, and culture promises to be nothing short of cinematic.

New Delhi [India], April 29:  “Data” is one of the invaluable resources and a growing vulnerability in today’s digitally connected world, rendering data privacy beyond a compliance issue. From personal information and financial details to behavioral data and digital identities, the volume and variety of data being collected, processed, and shared have grown exponentially. As much as opportunities for global connectivity have expanded, the challenges around protecting that data have intensified. Data breaches, identity theft, and surveillance concerns have called for transparency and accountability from both governments and corporations.

On April 21, the Indian Achievers’ Forum hosted a webinar to discuss the key aspects of Data Privacy and Protection in today’s hyper-connected digital world. The session brought together a diverse panel of experts from across industries. A few of the attendees were award winners as well. This online gathering emphasised important areas like:

• How important is data privacy when it comes to branding, digital marketing, and journalism?
• How is artificial intelligence evolving in both enhancing and potentially compromising data privacy in connected environments?
• What practices or principles are essential when building secure systems that manage sensitive data across interconnected devices?
• What are some of the key challenges in ensuring data protection and privacy at such massive scales?
• How can emerging innovations in cloud architecture help organisations enhance their data privacy frameworks while still optimising for performance and scalability?
• How can emerging innovations in cloud architecture help organisations enhance their data privacy frameworks while still optimising for performance and scalability?

Director of the Indian Achievers’ Forum, Dr. Shabnam Ashtana, in her opening address, emphasised the urgency of addressing data protection in today’s interconnected digital age. Mr Prashant Das, Editor, CSR Times said, “Digital marketing thrives on data, and consumer trust hinges on data privacy. With misinformation and surveillance growing, readers look to publications that respect their privacy.” Software engineers Mr. Dhruvil Anil Darji and Mr. Hardik Dharmesh Ruparel echoed the same theme. They recommended adopting a data protection framework that is built into the core architecture of digital products, underlining the necessity of a robust cybersecurity infrastructure to prevent breaches.

In its effort to honour those who have made outstanding contributions to nation-building, the Indian Achievers’ Forum has recognised a few achievers who have brought laurels in their respective fields. These people, who represent a variety of industries and fields, have demonstrated the importance of actively contributing to the progress of the nation. A few recipients of the Indian Achievers’ Award:

Mr. Subrat Kumar Mishra, Assistant Vice President, Barclays.
The webinar concluded with a call to action for collective efforts in building a world that is globally connected and digitally protected.

Gurugram (Haryana) [India], May 13: In an industry often defined by deadlines, deal-making, and bottom lines, something extraordinary happened this May. Cricket, a game that lives in the hearts of millions, became the common ground for an entire sector to reconnect, recharge, and rejoice.

Welcome to the Developer Premier League (DPL) 2025, an annual sporting tradition founded and hosted by Innovest Hospitality Management Services (IHMS) that is fast becoming the beating heart of India’s real estate community.

This year’s edition, held in the buzzing corridors of Gurugram NCR, saw spirited participation from marquee names in Indian real estate like ATS HomeKraft, BPTP, Krisumi Corporation, M3M India, Omaxe, and Reliance MET City. But beyond the logos and rivalries, what stood out was a shared celebration of camaraderie and sportsmanship.

“DPL is not about projects and launches. It’s about people, stepping away from boardrooms and construction sites to come together on the cricket field,” said Somya Singhal, Founder & CEO of IHMS. “It’s a celebration of relationships, unity, and shared energy.”

Turning Competitive Rivalry Into Friendship

Real estate, by nature, is competitive. Yet for one sun-drenched weekend, it wasn’t about who sold the most or built the tallest, it was about who cheered the loudest, played the hardest, and connected the deepest.

The DPL grounds echoed with laughter, team chants, high-fives, and the rhythmic clapping of proud families and enthusiastic colleagues. While the matches were fierce and the stakes were high, the real win was the sense of belonging DPL created.

Cricket: The Great Indian Equalizer

Cricket, more than just a sport in India, is a language of its own. One that unites across roles, ranks, and reputations. At DPL, it served as the cultural glue, binding together the vast and varied fabric of the real estate industry.

Whether it was a seasoned builder hitting boundaries or a young executive diving for a catch, every moment on the pitch reinforced the spirit of equality and togetherness.

The Matches That Made the Magic

Six power-packed teams. One electric venue. A series of thrilling encounters.

Semifinal Showdowns:

• M3M India vs Omaxe
• ATS HomeKraft vs Reliance MET City

The Grand Finale:

• ATS HomeKraft vs M3M India

In a nail-biting final match, ATS HomeKraft emerged victorious, lifting the DPL 2025 trophy amid deafening applause and jubilant celebrations. But beyond the scorecards, every team walked away with something more valuable: friendships, memories, and a renewed sense of community.

The Vision Behind DPL

For IHMS, a brand that curates hospitality experiences across hotels, resorts, vacation homes, and clubs, the goal of DPL is clear: to build communities that thrive not just on business but on bonding.

“DPL is our way of celebrating the people behind the buildings, the hearts behind the hustle,” the IHMS team shared. “When real estate developers come together not to compete, but to connect, magic happens.”

Powered by Partners, Backed by Belief

An event of this scale comes alive only through shared commitment. DPL 2025 was proudly co-powered by Innovest (India’s leading second-home developer) and Abante (a trusted name in facility management). Their support laid the foundation for a seamless, high-energy celebration.

Associate Partners included:
Dr. Lal Path Labs, Lusso Hospitality, YOHO, IREED, ElavoCare, Medanta, Beliram Exclusives, Adi Advisors, Optik Club, Denzour, Nikon, Bonjour, and Rize.

Together, these partners ensured that every facet of DPL; from wellness to food, technology to fashion, reflected excellence and joy.

What’s Next? DPL Goes National, Finale in Dubai

With NCR lit up by the tournament’s success, DPL is now going national. Upcoming editions will be hosted in Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad, with winning teams from each city converging for a Grand Finale in Dubai, taking this community-first initiative global.

More Than a League, It’s a Legacy

DPL 2025 proved what few initiatives in real estate have: that the industry is stronger when it comes together. It’s not just about land and buildings—it’s about people, purpose, and the power of play.

In the end, DPL isn’t just a cricket league. It’s a movement, where developers become teammates, where competition turns into connection, and where community takes centre stage.

As the sun set on DPL 2025, one thing was clear: real estate just found its new favourite ritual.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], May 2: In the midst of Ahmedabad, beneath ITC Narmada’s chandeliers, something magical was woven between Lubi and SRH, not merely a business event, but an evening where dreams touched each other’s shoulders, and business found harmony within the rhythm of cricket.

For years, Lubi has been more than a name in the world of engineering solutions; it has been a symbol of trust, consistency, and performance. But on this special evening, Lubi wasn’t just talking shop; it was sharing a celebration. Dealers, consultants, and partners, the very backbone of Lubi’s journey, were invited not for a boardroom briefing, but for something far more emotional: a heartfelt thank you that resonated deeply with each one of them.

Lubi Pumps Hosts Team SRH In Ahmedabad

The Meet & Greet was lively from the beginning, but it wasn’t until Rahul Chahar, Ishan Kishan, and Harshal Patel entered the room that time appeared to stand still for many in the crowd. Adult men, some of whom had dedicated decades to the drudgery of business, grinned like children as they shook hands, took selfies, and exchanged a few light words with their cricketing idols.

An associated dealer from Surat, held his signed cricket bat close, as if it were a precious family heirloom. “I’ve closed hundreds of deals in my life,” he shared, his voice catching with emotion, “but this… this is one of the best days of my career.” His heartfelt words echoed in the room; laughter, awe, and respect mingled warmly among everyone present.

Mr. Ronak Porecha, the director of Lubi, was at the forefront of it all, not as a corporate leader, but as a host with a heart. He did not speak in corporate language, but in appreciation. “Lubi is what it is because of the trust you’ve all placed in us,” he said. “Just like a cricket team requires bowlers, batsmen, and fielders, we require every one of you to win.” This inclusive message from the Lubi team further strengthened the bond with the audience.

The players reciprocated with the same warmth. Ishan Kishan’s cheeky sense of humour, Harshal Patel’s honest anecdotes, and Rahul Chahar’s introspective wisdom created a space where rank dissolved and humanness became the central theme.

They didn’t simply respond to the question; they turned it around. “What’s the most difficult thing about being a dealer?” Harshal inquired at one point, leaning forward with genuine interest, forging personal connections that transcended professional roles.

It was a straightforward question, but one that connected two worlds. Whether it’s selling a pump or meeting a yorker at 145 kmph, the shared values of pressure, performance, discipline, and perseverance are what bring every achiever together, bridging the gap between the business and cricket worlds.

By the end of the evening, it was apparent that the event was a testament to values practised, teamwork, trust, and victory, both on the pitch and in business. And as the guests departed with signed jerseys, full hearts, and renewed pride, one couldn’t help but think that Lubi hadn’t merely sponsored a cricket club.

It had sponsored belief.

New Delhi [India], June 2:  Southern Street Premier League (SSPL), the first T10 Tennis Ball Cricket Tournament of its kind in the South, had a grand launch at Chennai.

Targeted at bringing out the grassroots talent from across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Pondicherry and Goa, this will be a true gamechanger. 12 powerhouse teams featuring the best will battle it out this August for India’s Biggest Ever Tennis Ball Cricket Prize Purse: ₹3 Crores.

Nawabzada Mohammed Asif Ali – Chairman, SSPL, Ravi Mohan – Celebrity Patron & L.T. Anand – CEO & Director, SSPL, launched SSPL at a glittering ceremony that featured dignitaries, businessmen, and VIPs.  The stunning 5-foot-high trophy was unveiled with great fanfare, alongside the reveal of the official SSPL logo and a high-octane anthem setting the tone for the adrenaline-fueled season ahead.

Cricket is an integral part of every boy in India, and most of them start with Tennis Ball Cricket. Cricket to Indians after all is more than just a sport—it’s a religion, uniting people across regions, languages, and cultures. While stadiums may host cricket legends, a peek into the country’s narrow lanes and bustling bylanes is where future stars are truly born, we believe! India has no dearth of cricketing talent; there just wasn’t a platform to take it to the fore.

Gully cricket, played with makeshift wickets and tennis balls, has long paved the way for raw, unfiltered talent. It’s here that many of India’s cricketing greats, including Dhoni and Virat Kohli, first honed their reflexes, creativity, and grit. From these humble beginnings, countless cricketers have risen to national and international fame, proving that passion, not privilege, defines greatness. The Southern Street Premier League (SSPL) taps into this very spirit, providing a structured platform where gully cricket’s finest can take centre-stage.

About SSPL

The South Street Premier League (SSPL) is an ambitious T10 Tennis Ball Cricket Tournament designed to bring the unmatched passion of street cricket to world-class stadiums. This T10 Tennis Ball Cricket League (8 Overs Tennis Ball & 2 Overs Tape ball) is open to players above the age of 12 and does not have an upper age cap. The Entry Fee has been kept at a very affordable amount of just Rs . 699 + GST.

The Selections will be held in all states, at metro cities and non-metros. The three-level selection process will be spread over a month. What sets SSPL apart is its commitment to technological innovation in player selection and game monitoring, authenticating the credibility and excitement of tennis ball cricket to professional standards. The core idea is to take local talent to international levels. The interest garnered so far has led to consideration of Finals in Sharjah, subject to stadium availability.

Transparency & Fair Play

One of the key features of SSPL is the commitment to maintaining fair play and transparency at all levels of Selection. This will be deployed by using the latest technology and sharing the Report Cards of participants. This will ensure the process is unbiased. The trials will be recorded on video, and participants will be given a login to watch their game.

Technology

The latest technology has been harnessed both in player selections and will also be used to track and analyse the game. What makes this truly unique is that this level of high-end and expensive technology has never been used in tennis ball cricket. Batting Assessments will be conducted in simulated environments that replicate match conditions.  Bowling Evaluations will leverage thermal imaging cameras and speed-monitoring technology for real-time analysis.

League Highlights

• 12 Teams representing 6 states and 1 Union territory from South India

• Each squad comprises 25 players

• The final 500 players will be selected through a rigorous multi-city selection process. Out of which 300 players will be selected through auctions.

London (United Kingdom) [England], June 14: In an inspiring testament to grit, global ambition, and homegrown talent, Rita Patel, a dynamic forward from Gujarat, India, has been crowned Player of the Year at Burnt Ash (Bexley) Hockey Club, one of the UK’s most well-regarded amateur hockey teams. Her achievement is more than a personal win; it marks a proud moment for India and adds a vibrant chapter to the evolving story of Indian athletes making waves internationally.

From Gujarat to Glory: A Journey Forged in Dedication

Hailing from the culturally rich state of Gujarat and armed with a Master’s in Arts and B.Ed. from Saurashtra University, Rita’s journey has been anything but conventional. What began as a childhood passion for hockey has now become a trailblazing career. Relocating to London, she embraced a competitive sporting environment dominated by European athletes. Yet, in just two seasons at Burnt Ash (Bexley), her tireless efforts and dazzling performance, particularly her expertise in drag flicks, helped her outshine seasoned players from across the continent.

“This award represents not just success, but resilience,” Rita said in an emotional reflection. “Every practice session, every bruised knee, and every defeat only sharpened my resolve to rise stronger.” Her humility belies her impact. As the only Indian woman competing in the current English hockey circuit, Rita carries both her identity and her skillset with pride, frequently facing off against top-tier English teams.

A Family Affair: Support as the Cornerstone of Success

Behind Rita’s historic win is an equally inspiring story of support and encouragement. She credits her success to the unwavering backing of her family and husband, who have cheered her through every sprint, flick, and fall.

“There were days I doubted myself, but never once did they stop believing in me. This recognition is theirs as much as it is mine,” she said, her voice tinged with gratitude.

Her story is particularly relevant for young Indian athletes, especially women, who often battle cultural constraints in addition to competitive ones. Rita’s win is not just a trophy; it’s a statement.

Beyond Hockey: Mastering the Cricket Pitch

Rita is not content with mastering just one sport. During the 2023-2024 cricket season, she debuted with the Orpington Ocelots Cricket Club and made her mark as a promising all-rounder. This year, she joined Sidcup Cricket Club during the UK’s popular Cricket Festival. Her bowling tactics disrupted opponents, and a standout run-out moment earned her team the “champagne moment”, a term reserved for match-defining performances.

Whether with a stick or a bat, Rita’s athleticism is undeniable. Her dual-sport success story amplifies her reputation as a rising star in the UK’s sporting landscape and as a proud ambassador of Indian sporting talent abroad.

A Win for India, a Win for Women

Rita’s triumph speaks volumes in the era of globalised sports, where boundaries fade and performance shines. She not only carries the Indian flag on foreign soil but also redefines what it means to be a modern Indian woman athlete, confident, skilled, and fiercely proud of her roots.

Her achievements are also a timely reminder of the talent pool India possesses, waiting for recognition and opportunity. “Young girls back home should know that dreams don’t recognise geography,” she remarked. “With enough fire in the belly, you can make it anywhere.”

Celebrating an Emerging Icon

As Rita prepares for the next season with renewed energy, fans and fellow athletes alike eagerly await her continued ascent. Whether it’s defending on turf or launching a delivery down the cricket pitch, she embodies an exciting, multifaceted athlete who represents the best of what India has to offer to the world.

In an era where headlines often focus on glamour or controversy, Rita Patel’s story brings back focus to what matters: talent, commitment, and the quiet confidence of a woman who lets her performance do the talking.

And as she continues her sporting journey, one thing is certain: Gujarat’s daughter is just getting started.
