  • Rohit Sharma Spotted In Intense Training With Coach Abhishek Nayar Ahead Of Border-Gavaskar Series, Video Goes Viral – WATCH | cricket news

    Rohit Sharma, who successfully led India to a triumphant victory in the T20 World Cup 2024 in June, was recently seen in a training session with India’s assistant coach, Abhishek Nayar. A video that has been making rounds on social media shows Rohit engaging in intense cardio exercises at a park, with Nayar closely monitoring his routine. Nayar, who was appointed as part of the Indian cricket team’s support staff last month, took on his role following Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as India’s head coach.

    Rohit had a mixed performance in the IPL 2024 while playing for the Mumbai Indians. However, he bounced back strongly during the T20 World Cup, where he emerged as the leading run-scorer for India. His exceptional form with the bat played a pivotal role in helping India secure the T20 World Cup title, ending an 11-year wait for an ICC trophy. Following the T20 World Cup success, Rohit participated in a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka held in Colombo earlier this month. Demonstrating his consistent performance, he was the highest run-scorer across all three matches. Despite his impressive efforts, India struggled in the series, losing all three ODIs to Sri Lanka. This marked a significant upset, as it was the first time in 27 years that India had lost a bilateral ODI series to Sri Lanka.

    The video of Rohit training with Nayar has led to speculation among fans, with some suggesting that the park session might be part of a promotional shoot. However, it also underscores Rohit’s commitment to maintaining peak fitness ahead of India’s upcoming cricket fixtures.

    Captain Rohit Sharma was seen training in the park.

    Rohit Sharma last played in a Test match for India in March 2024 against England, where he scored a memorable century in the first innings. His experience and skills will be vital for India’s red-ball cricket ambitions, especially with crucial series coming up. His contributions will be key not only for securing series wins but also for helping India qualify for their third consecutive World Test Championship (WTC) final.

    Following the series against Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, India will host a three-match Test series against New Zealand at home. This will be followed by a challenging five-match Test series against Australia as part of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, set to take place in Australia in November. Rohit’s performance in these fixtures will be instrumental in shaping India’s Test cricket future.

  • Youngsters Without Political Background Entering Politics Will Strengthen Democracy: PM Modi |

    New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Sunday that a lot of things are happening in India in the 21st century which are strengthening the foundation for a ‘Viksit Bharat’.

    In his monthly ‘Mann Ki Baat’ broadcast, he said his Independence Day call for one lakh youth without any political background to join politics has evoked wide reactions and urged the youngsters to enter public life for a developed India and stronger democracy. Countless people from all walks of life joined the freedom movement even though they had no political background, he noted.

    “They devoted themselves entirely to India’s independence. Today, to achieve the vision of a Viksit Bharat, we need to rekindle that same spirit once again,” he said. A large number of young people are willing to join politics, and all they need is right opportunity and guidance, he said.

    Modi said youngsters have written to him and reacted on social media to his call. They have noted that family politics suppresses new talent, he added.

    During the programme, Modi spoke to several young entrepreneurs helming different space start-ups as they highlighted their work. They praised the growing vibrant space eco system in the country.

    The prime minister said the youth of the country has benefitted a lot from various reforms in the space sector.

    Highlighting works of different organisations and people in improving environment, he batted for collective efforts in the field.

  • Israel On High Alert, Announces 48-Hour Nationwide Emergency Amid Hezbollah Airstrikes | world news

    Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has announced a 48-hour nationwide state of emergency starting at 6:00 am local time on Sunday, following preemptive strikes by the Israeli military on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. This emergency declaration is designed to enable the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to carry out essential measures, such as imposing restrictions on public gatherings and shutting down sites considered at risk.

    This move is a reaction to the sharp increase in aggression, with Hezbollah taking responsibility for launching over 320 rockets and multiple drones packed with explosives toward northern Israel. Hezbollah has stated that their attacks were aimed at 11 Israeli military bases, significantly escalating the conflict.

    The state of emergency allows the IDF to provide safety guidelines to civilians, particularly in high-risk areas, as stated by Defense Minister Gallant. He expressed a strong belief in the likelihood of attacks on civilians in regions previously not under special alert and emphasized the importance of the emergency status across the nation.

    The actions of Hezbollah are said to be a direct retaliation for the death of a senior commander, which led Israel to initiate a series of preemptive strikes. IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari had earlier alerted the public to Hezbollah’s intentions to target Israeli civilians.

    “We have identified Hezbollah’s preparations to fire missiles and rockets into Israel, and we are taking proactive measures to neutralize this threat,” he explained.

    The IDF is targeting terrorist sites in Lebanon, which were reportedly being used as launch pads for attacks on Israeli civilians, according to the IDF Spokesperson in a subsequent video release.
