'Was On Verge Of Saying Goodbye To Sports': Asian Games 2023 Gold Medalist Annu Rani

Indian javelin thrower Annu Rani was so upset with a string of poor performances this year that she had decided to say goodbye to the sport just before the Asian Games. The 31-year-old from Uttar Pradesh produced a season-best effort of 62.92m to became the first Indian woman to win an Asian Games gold in javelin throw. "I have struggled a lot this year. I went abroad to practice. I went to learn from a foreign coach but my performance dropped. The whole year had gone waste. There was poor performance in every competition one after the other," Annu told PTI Bhasha in an interview.

"You Can't Get Away With This": Wasim Akram's Sharp Attack At Mickey Arthur On 'BCCI Event' Remark

Pakistan's team director Mickey Arthur, under fire over his team's embarrassing show against India in the Cricket World Cup 2023 match on Saturday, left a few scratching their heads with his comments in the press conference after the match. Arthur's remark suggesting that the India vs Pakistan clash in Ahmedabad seemed like a BCCI event over ICC as he didn't hear 'Dil Dil Pakistan' enough in the stadium didn't go down well with fans and a few former cricketers. Wasim Akram, a legend of the game, took a swipe at Arthur, suggesting he should be talking more about what Pakistan's plans for the match were than diverting attention with such comments.
