Harvinder Singh: Legs Impaired At 2, Pursuing PhD, Now India's 1st Paralympic Gold Medallist Archer

Harvinder Singh's calm composure and precision turned dreams into reality as he became India's first-ever Paralympic gold medalist in archery on Wednesday. Pursuing PhD in Economics, the 33-year-old Indian, who lost to Kevin Mather of the USA in the Tokyo semifinals before securing a bronze, showed neither fatigue not nerves to secure five back-to-back wins in a day to bag his second successive Paralympics medal. Reserving his best for the final, Harvinder nailed three 10s in his last four arrows to knock out his 44-year-old opponent from Poland Lukasz Ciszek 6-0 (28-24, 28-27, 29-25) for India's second medal in archery at the ongoing Paralympics.

1 Over, 3 Wickets: 'Bowler' Rinku Singh Sends Clear Signal With Brave Show In T20 League

Meerut Mavericks continued their dominance and remained on top of the points table with another victory in the UP T20 2024 as they defeated the Kanpur Superstars by 22 runs via the DLS method. Having set a target of 106 in nine overs in the 20th game of the competition at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium the Mavericks bowled Kanpur out for 83 to clinch their sixth victory. A solid showing with the bat from Madhav Kaushik helped Meerut make 90 from their nine overs despite a relatively slow start. Zeeshan Ansari followed that up with a continuation of his dream run this season with a three-wicket haul in the two overs he bowled in the chase. Zeeshan's spell, which came after Ankur Malik's 13-ball 33 had given the Kanpur side the start they needed, proved to be the turning point of the game.

Virat Kohli Asked By Ex-India Coach "Are You From Krypton?" Always Gave Same Reply

Arguably the greatest white-ball batter there ever has been, Virat Kohli, has often come across praises where he has been described as an 'alien'. His knack for runs, ability to channelise aggression, energy, and commitment to the game, aren't matched by many. In fact, former India fielding coach R Sridhar revealed that he once even asked Virat if he was from 'Krypton', the mythical planet where Superman was born. Kohli, however, refused to delve into the chatter and always responded to this question with a smile.

Uncapped Batter Stars In Duleep Trophy, As Rishabh Pant, Sarfaraz Khan Fail

Rishabh Pant's much-awaited return to red-ball cricket lasted a mere 10 balls and 15 minutes but Musheer Khan's resolute unbeaten hundred carried India B to a satisfactory 202 for seven against India A, on the opening day of the four-day Duleep Trophy contest here on Thursday. Before Musheer (105 not out, 227b, 10x4, 2x6) and Navdeep Saini (29 not out, 74b, 4x4, 1x6) fought back for India B with a stand of 108 for the eighth wicket, they were in a huge hole at 94 for seven as ‘A' skipper Shubman Gill made the prudent choice of bowling first under overcast skies.
