Indian badminton star and Olympic bronze medallist Saina Nehwal on Wednesday arrived in Mahakumbh Nagar to take a dip in the sacred waters of the Triveni Sangam during the ongoing Maha Kumbh. Calling Maha Kumbh the world's largest spiritual gathering, she said she felt fortunate to be part of such a grand event. The shuttler said she would be visiting Triveni Sangam with her father in the evening and expressed her wish to return with her mother in the future. Sharing her thoughts on the occasion, Saina said, "Being part of this sacred event is a special experience. I congratulate the Uttar Pradesh government for organising such a magnificent festival.

CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award at the BCCI Awards in Mumbai. ICC Chairman Jay Shah presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to the legendary batter at the BCCI's annual 'Naman Awards' ceremony on Saturday.

It is an open secret that India's ODI and Test captain Rohit Sharma has a poor habit of forgetting things. His teammates have already spoken about it a lot in the media before. When he encountered a question on similar lines during BCCI Awards 2025 in Mumbai on Saturday, Rohit came up with a funny response that left everyone in splits. During an interaction at the event, women's team player Smriti Mandhana asked Rohit if he had picked up any hobby recently that his teammates tease him about. "I don't know. They tease me about forgetting. Obviously, it's not a hobby but this is what they tease me about - that I forget my wallet, and passport - which is absolutely not true. That happened a couple of decades back," said Rohit.
International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman and former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary, Jay Shah arrived in Prayagraj on Monday along with his family to attend the Maha Kumbh 2025. After arriving at Prayagraj, the 36-year-old received a warm welcome at the airport. Earlier, Jay Shah on Sunday paid a visit to Ayodhya's Hanumangarhi Temple. The newly-appointed ICC chairman arrived to the temple in a traditional Indian attire and offered his prayers to the lord. Shah was elected as a board member of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) advisory board on Thursday.
The ICC chairman Jay Shah has been inducted into a newly instituted World Cricket Connects Advisory Board, an independent group that will discuss the many challenges and opportunities in the sport during a discussion at the Lord's on June 7 and 8. Former BCCI secretary Shah, regarded as the most influential man in world cricket, had taken over as the ICC chairperson on December 1 last year, and his presence at the 'World Cricket Connects' forum is a chance for him to convey his ideas to a wider stage.
