International Olympic Committee (IOC), citing "personal reasons". In an identical communication addressed separately to the Executive Boards (ECs) of the IOA and FIH and to IOC's president Thomas Bach, Batra thanked them for their "support and guidance". "Due to personal reasons, I submit my resignation from the post of president for which I was elected in 2017.
Veteran sports administrator Narinder Batra on Monday resigned as President of International Hockey Federation (FIH) and also gave up his membership of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni's contribution to his career, saying "for someone of his calibre to put his trust in me to win him games at a young age was massive for me." Nigidi was picked up by the CSK in 2018. The right-arm pacer grabbed 11 wickets in seven matches at an average of 14.18 that season, helping the Dhoni-led side to win the title.

The executive board of the FIH on Friday took the decision to send an official communication to the CoA at its meeting in Terrassa, Spain on the sidelines of the Women's World Cup.

Jaiswal was recently repatriated to his parent cadre -- Border Security Force (BSF) -- by the Sports Authority of India (SAI) after a three-member SAI's inquiry committee, which was tasked with probing the alleged incident where the gymnast was video-graphed during a fitness test, had concluded its investigation into the matter and submitted the report to the headquarters. A seven-member Indian gymnastics contingent has been selected for the CWG, with Jaiswal and Ashok Kumar Mishra as the two male coaches.
Virat Kohli's struggles with the bat continue to be the biggest talking point in Indian cricket. That always happens when a superstar is performing well below expectations and the lofty standards he has set for himself. His blade hasn't been able to produce consistent big scores. He has not scored a century since November 2019. The question marks are hovering like dark clouds over India's run-machine Kohli. While India captain Rohit Sharma continues to back Kohli, former India fast bowler Ashish Nehra has also supported the man who stands at number 3 on the list of all time most centuries. Nehra, who is also from Delhi, like Kohli, is confident that the man with 70 international centuries under his belt will find big scores soon. "When you don't perform, not only (when it's) Virat Kohli, there will be discussions. There will be discussions even if you're not a player of Kohli's calibre. When you are playing, you try to focus on your game and not listen to so-called 'outside voices' from people outside the dressing room. It's important how your teammates, management, and selectors are backing you," Nehra said in response to a question asked by TimesofIndia.com during a media interaction.
