"Lacked Fitness": India Women's Hockey Captain Salima Tete's Brutal Confession Amid Downward Spiral

Caught in a downward spiral of reverses since the historic fourth-place finish in the Tokyo Olympics, Indian women's hockey team captain Salima Tete on Wednesday attributed it to the lack of fitness and mental toughness. After creating history in Tokyo in 2021, the team failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics this year and also performed poorly in the last FIH Pro League. "Yes, of course we were disappointed but we can't think about the past and need to move forward. We should move on because if we don't move on, we can never win a match," Salima told PTI in an interview ahead of the women's Asian Champions Trophy in Rajgir, Bihar from November 11 to 20.

BCCI Not Giving Captaincy To "Most Valuable Indian Player" In Top Tournament Under Scrutiny

Rishabh Pant has once again proven himself as one of the most valuable players in the Indian cricket team. The star suffered a horrific car crash in December 2022 and missed more than a year of action as he was recovering from it. He made his comeback to competitive cricket with IPL 2024 before winning the T20 World Cup with the Indian team. The southpaw was also part of India's three-match T20I series in Sri Lanka. After this, Pant played the Duleep Trophy for India B, but interestingly, he was not made the skipper and instead played under Abhimanyu Easwaran's captaincy. While the move surprised many cricket pundits, it also raised doubts over Pant's value as a captain.

While India look to pick the pieces and put their best foot forward during the five-Test tour of Australia, Patil, also a former chairman of selectors, expressed confidence that the team is too good to be bogged down by setbacks.
