"Helmet Se LBW Nikal Sakta Hai ": Rishabh Pant's Hilarious Stump Mic Chatter vs Bangladesh

"Helmet se ek LBW le sakta hai bhai (You can get him out LBW with his helmet)," said Pant to Ashwin from behind the stumps.

"Complete Disregard For...": PT Usha Hits Out At IOA Executive Committee For Not Felicitating Paris Olympics Medalists

Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President PT Usha on Monday said it is "deeply concerning" that the Executive Committee members failed to honour Olympic medallists and accused the Finance Committee of blocking funds intended to support Indian athletes' preparation for the Paris Games. India secured six medals, including two historic bronze by young shooter Manu Bhaker, but Usha said the "EC does not want to celebrate their success" and it makes her "very sad." "These athletes have made the nation proud, and it is the responsibility of the IOA to celebrate their achievements with the respect they deserve.
