'My Final Wish Is Fulfilled': Paralympic Legend Murlikant Petkar Elated On Getting Arjuna Award

India's first gold medallist in Paralympic Games, Murlikant Rajaram Petkar was on Thursday elated by the news that the Sports Ministry has recommended him for the Arjuna Award in the Lifetime category and said his lone remaining wish has been fulfilled. Petkar won a gold medal in men's 50m freestyle swimming in the 1972 Paralympic Games in Heidelberg, Germany, becoming the first Indian to bag an individual gold medal in the Olympics or Paralympic Games. However, his achievement went unnoticed and unrewarded for decades as para-sports did not get much recognition in those times and were not considered for the Arjuna Award, the top sports award before the Khel Ratna was introduced in 1991-92.

"Rohit Sharma Should Fight...": Ex-India Star's Big Message Amid 'Retirement' Talk

Ahead of the fifth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 at the Sydney Cricket Ground between Australia and India, former all-rounder Irfan Pathan shared his thoughts on skipper Rohit Sharma's retirement after the completion of the ongoing series. "In my personal opinion, Rohit Sharma should fight out this phase. I don't want him to walk out of this. He has done enough for Indian cricket, and I am sure he has the ability to turn this around. This is the last and crucial test match of the series, and experience should come in handy. Whatever decisions required to be made should come out after the series," Irfan Pathan wrote in a post on X.

"Rohit Sharma Has Earned Right To...": Ex-Australia Skipper Delivers Sensational Verdict

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke says India skipper Rohit Sharma has earned the right to walk away from Test cricket on his own terms notwithstanding his barren run with the bat Down Under. Pressure has been gradually building on Rohit who is yet to play a knock of significance in the three Tests he has played so far in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Another stalwart in the team, Virat Kohli, is also facing the heat for repeatedly falling to balls outside the off-stump in the series. "You see that with a number of players -- to some people the captaincy helps for others it doesn't. I certainly think he'll plat at Sydney. I don't think they'll drop him. I think Rohit has earned the right and he's captain. When you are captain you get a little more leeway as well," Clarke told ESPN ahead of the fifth Test beginning on Friday.

Gautam Gambhir Rejected Request To Keep Rohit Sharma In Playing XI For 5th Australia Test: Report

Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma is all set to be rested for the fifth Test encounter against Australia starting Thursday in Sydney, according to sources. It has been a torrid run for Rohit in the ongoing five-match series as the star batter has managed to score just 31 runs in the past three matches. Despite multiple changes to his batting position, Rohit was unable to score big for his side and he is likely to be replaced by Shubman Gill in the playing XI for the Sydney Test. According to a report by PTI, Gambhir received a request from an ' influential cricket administrator' to keep Rohit in the playing XI but it was rejected as the game holds significance for India's World Test Championship (WTC) Final hopes.

The Sports Ministry made some more course corrections and awarded the Arjuna Award (Lifetime) to para-swimmer Murlikant Rajaram Petkar, India's first gold medallist in the Paralympic Games, conferring on him the prestigious award 52 years after he made history for the country in Heidelberg, Germany.

Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma Ignore Each Other During Practice - Report Makes 'Split' Claim

It was around half past one when Gautam Gambhir walked towards the centre strip at the Sydney Cricket Ground with Jasprit Bumrah in tow. A few minutes later, Rohit Sharma also joined the duo in the middle but there was hardly any communication between the head coach and the designated captain. Then Gambhir showed up at the pre-match press conference (usually the captain attends it) and chose not to confirm Rohit's place in the playing eleven for the fifth and final Test. “We will look at the pitch and decide,” Gambhir said when asked about Rohit's place in the team. In the media interaction, Gambhir also spoke about “honesty” and “performance being only criteria to be in Indian dressing room” and soon after that, he was seen engaged in a conversation with Bumrah while the rest of his teammates were warming up with a round of foot volley.
