New Delhi: Jitesh Sharma A small town boy has all the symptoms.In Maharashtra, in his hometown Amravati, he and his childhood friends still visit the old tea shop to enjoy ‘cutting’ (tea). He still rotates on his bike on the streets, where he is still Jitesh. Jitesh Sharma is not the India cricketer. And, recently, Jitesh is not IPL Winner.“I am anti-social. I only open with those who are close to me. This is my nature. That is the hota of the small-town ladko, Sham Meen which is 4-5 dosts of the sub-tafri ko hai bet hiath jata (the way it is with me, which is with me.”It was the same group of friends with whom he wanted to clean the National Defense Academy (NDA) examination, and the group came to know about the law of a Maharashtra government, where you would earn 25 additional marks representing your state, and for those additional marks, he started playing cricket.In that attempt, Jitesh, who did not have a coach, took the YouTube video of Adam Gilchrist and Sourav Ganguly. At the age of 29, he made his India debut at the Hangzo Asian Games. After some outing, he fell, but never gave up, because he believes in Destiny and dreams.

Jeetesh bounced back into style, played an important role in the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) title-winner season, but it was not a run that grabbed the selectors’ eyes, batting at 6 and 7, he had 176.35 strike rates. Asia Cup At the age of 31.Jitesh Sharma’s cricketing journey is non -Achuk as his batting style.But he disagrees.He says, “In my luck.Jitesh credited his childhood friends, his former farewell captain Fazal, his mentor Dinesh Karthik, who made him his private project during the IPL, and a former TOI journalist who died during Kovid -19.“I became lucky at every stage of my career. Whether that Ruchir Bhai always gives me confidence through texts and calls or now DK brother, who saw something in me that no one has ever seen. I just was lucky in my career, “he reflects.

The specialty of other small towns that takes Jitesh appears. In the early IPL 2025, he told himself that he would have a photo carrying an IPL trophy with Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik. He later shared a post on his Instagram, where he wrote, “Power of Manifestation – on the left with Virat Bhai, holding the IPL Trophy and DK Anna on the right.”“When I joined the RCB team in March, I was asked to reveal something for myself or the team, and this is what I wrote. It was very happy to see this!”Jitesh’s introverted nature attracted the attention of Virat Kohli. Kohli, while mentioning this during the IPL, said that Jitesh’s personality made him curious. “A man who is really funny, but not opened with me is Jitesh. I would really like to see that fun, raw side. Because I can see it in his eyes that he has found a mischief about him,” Kohli said.Jitesh acknowledged his small town values that he was forced to leave Virat Kohli alone and only had a meaningful conversation with legend during the IPL.

“Again I come from a small town where you give great respect to your superiors. You don’t infiltrate their personal location,” they explain.“My liye unse baat karni hi badi baat hai.“I used to talk to him only about cricket. I kept my distance out of honor. I only wanted to have a meaningful conversation with him,” he says.Stent with RCB proved to be a significant turn in Jitesh’s career. In Dinesh Karthik, he found an elder brother, and someone he is ready to follow till the end of the world.
What someone saw in me today, the US person has given me and my dekha. All the people darken my meaning but U.S.

He also gets emotional while talking about Dinesh Karthik.“What someone saw my Anj Aj Tak Nahi, the US man has done me and my dekha. Everybody looked at my meaning, but the man saw me my quality (what someone had ever seen inside me, that person had seen within me. Everyone else had sought flaws in me, but that man saw my strength).“People used to tell me what I am missing, but they worked on my strength and assured me more about my game. It has made a lot of difference. I felt that it is my duty to give 100 percent because of the way they have believed in me. She is like an elder brother for me. I have found that the elder brother has been late in my life, but I am happy that I did it. I follow their instructions without any question, “they say.Jitesh believes in Naseeb (fate). He found in his cricketing statue Suryakumar Yadav It is too late in his cricket career. Surya, who is now the captain of India’s T20I team, became a teacher (teacher) of Jitesh. Inspired by Surya’s visit, he started copying his shots and finally played the famous Supla shot (associated with Surya) with Kyle Jaimisson in the IPL final at the Narendra Modi Stadium packed with 10 balls, which finally proved to be important as RCB beat Punjab Kings by six runs.

“Surya Bhai is an inspiration for so many people. He made his international debut at the age of 31. It gives great hope for all late blooming. He is one of the best T20I batsmen in the world. He can manipulate the field, he can tear up any bowling attack.“Wu is the fund of Talent, Mai Any to Try Kurta Rehta Hoon, trying to do a copy carne Karta Hoon (he is a store of talent; I keep trying to learn from him and often try to follow him). I used to copy him a lot. But now I have started executing shots as well. Ek Supla Aaya IPL in the final (I managed to hit a Surya specially in the IPL final), “he says.Jitesh was also praised by Captain Suryakumar Yadav during the announcement of the Asia Cup squad.“We talked a lot about it. How to go about it. We said to think about moving forward, follow your journey. Follow your journey. The way he performed in IPL and domestic tournaments is a completely different cricketer post. He really did well, earned his place again,” Suryakumar shared.Jitesh understands his role because the finisher is a two-edged sword and is an ideal Hindi catchfray for his job-“Chale toh Chand Tak Nahi Toh Sham Tak.”“As a finisher, you have to understand that there will be more bad days than good days. You can only try to win the game for your team. No one can guarantee that you can finish the match for your team. Even the winning percentage of the world’s best finisher is very low.“This is about giving the best to the team. When you think about your team and your peers, it reduces the pressure on you. You feel more inspired, “he says.

The thing that excited Jitesh about joining the Indian Army was Team Work, and he tries to keep the valuable lesson he learned in his cricket.“When you think only about your own performance, you play under pressure. But when you put the team first, you see it as a responsibility, and then you start taking better decisions automatically,” he said.Jitesh says that he does not believe in expressing his feelings. He only wants to keep his batting, enjoy batting, and overall he wants to grow as a cricketer.“I have learned from my previous mistakes that you should never express your feelings. One should keep your feelings and feelings inside,” they say.Jitesh may have become an IPL star, an Indian player, but his heart is still in Amravati.He is just another small town boy who dont gloves and tries to finish the game with the bat.

‘Like Breathing Air’: Naomi Osaka discovered Joy again in tennis on his favorite court. Tennis news
New Delhi: Naomi Osaka and her style have launched flushing meadows at the ongoing US Open. He created a quite a fashion statement with his hairpiece, red jacket and red roses with crystal during the evening session. During the day session, she wore a bright purple dress covering in the crystal.Then “Labubas” has been done to finish the dress. Crystal-enacted plush toys that have become a great range worldwide. The names had tennis inspiration: ‘Arthur Flash’ like Arthur Ash; ‘La Billy Boy’ and ‘Billy Jean Bling’ after Billy Jean King; And ‘Althiya Glitrson’ is inspired by Althiya Gibson. All the trailblazers of the game and all who made their mark in the game.In his brief career, Naomi Osaka has an equally impressive and permanent effect. He has won four Grand Slam titles – Australian opens two each and US. She became the first Japanese to win a major single title. At the Tokyo Olympics, he burnt the Olympic Kaulladron.
Naomi Osaka got out in court with glitter-dasted ponytails and a laubu doll during his early stages at 2025 US Open.
Away from the court, Osaka, now a mother, led the opposition to Black Live Matter and spoke openly about depression and to deal with mental health issues. His struggle, and advocacy, as a result of the French Open, provided tournament assistance to the players.
Now, at the 2025 US Open, Naomi Osaka is back and is quite fluttering in the court. On Monday, he pulled out the favorite and world number 3 Coco Goff 6-3, 6-2, which registered his first Grand Slam Quarter Final Spot in four and a half years (since the 2021 Australian Open).She was craving for such days since her daughter’s birth, after returning to tennis in early 2024. The waiting between frustration, frustration and personnel continued. Last year, as she lost in the second round at the US Open, she said, “Every time I lose my heart dies.” She was reduced to tears in May after the first round loss in the French Open.At Arthur Ash Stadium, the expression was very different. 27 -year -old Osaka was smiling as she brought the match point and the expression of that beaming continued, with a cleaned fist, as Gauf’s forehand hit the net. He waved his racket and roared by the crowd, even though he had beaten only one American.

During the on-court interview, he insisted on his journey. Two years ago, she was sitting in a stand and saw that Goff won her semi -finals and eventually the title.He said, “I was telling everyone that I was looking at (and) Coco two months after giving birth to my daughter. I really wanted a chance to come out and play. It is my favorite court in the world and it means to come back here for me,” he said that the decibels level increased.“I, maybe, was a little empty,” later Gauf admitted that he had been tried for two weeks. The same cannot be said for Osaka.The Japanese player has left only one set for the quarter -finals. And next with Karolina Muchova, she has a good reason for her opportunities being optimistic if history is a sign. In the last four examples where she has reached the quarter -finals of a chief, she has gone to win it.

Playing at the largest stadium in tennis, the mentality of returning to the big stage is hardly unnecessary. Instead, she was walking out on Ash for the first time in five years.Osaka said in the press conference, “The main thing for me I want to stay away from this tournament.” “I know that in my first round I was very nervous to smile, and my (third round) match against (Daria) Kastkina was not really a really smiley. When I went to this match, I just wanted to be grateful. ,Run in Montreal, falling below two match points against Lidmila Samsanova, and directly on World No. 13 Alina Switolina, she assured her. Bringing former coach of IGA Swiatek to Tomas Tomas Vikatorowski has been equally important. As the pair worked on the practice court, the message from the pole was clear: ‘Not every ball is the winner’.“I think in my head physically know that I am able to rally, so I don’t overplay,” said Osaka. “I am just fine with waiting. I am given. I am not a defensive player, so it’s not that I am trying to move the side-to-side, but it is like a silent confidence to understand that I don’t need to hit a winner all the time.”

Against Gauf, Osaka won 16 out of 24 rallies which went to five-flus shots. She also equally fatal on brake points, which converts each of the four opportunities made by him.At the beginning of the year, Osaka said that if things did not improve, it will not be “the type of player who will hang around.” On Monday, reminiscent of those words, she was backded describing the need to play tennis back as a ‘breathing air’.And at the Arthur Ash Stadium, all those for 24,000 and thousands of people at home, Osaka’s appearance and tennis are the fresh air breath that needs tennis.

Hockey: Shivendra Singh-Koch gave India ‘Got a’ Got to Play to play ‘Best Teams’ to make India a big pool for a busy year. Hockey news
Rajgir: The Indian men’s hockey team has a busy schedule ahead of them next year, in which Hockey India League is taking place in January, then the FIH Pro League and the World Cup and Asian Games are taking place in only three weeks intervals.Keeping this in mind, Craig Fulton, head coach of the men’s team, started building an India team from last year, which will help them choose their squads from a large pool of players during two major tournaments to back-to-back.To prepare them well, he took him on a European tour last year and this year too, he went to Europe in July and played eight matches against Ireland, France, England, Belgium and Netherlands, where Shivendra Singh was his head coach.Shivendra believes that this visit had a great impact on the players. This was a great experience for him as this was the first time he was in charge of the side as the head coach.Asked how the experience was, Shivendra said, “The Indian team got to play against the best teams. So the players got an idea of how to play against the top teams in the world. They also understood how changes are made, how fast it is and it is different.”As far as the focus is concerned, it was on educating the players and giving confidence, but the biggest beneficiaries were two goalkeepers – Pawan and Mohit HS.
Voting
Do you think European tour was beneficial for Indian men’s hockey team?
The coach said, “He had the freedom to make his decisions. Some players such as Sanjay, Varun, Vishnu and Karthi – with some experiences with the senior sides – were not senior to guide them and as a result they had to take more responsibility.”“They had to guide the players from behind, maintain the structure of the team and focus on marking, calling and communication with the players. The other big experience was that they had a chance to face quality drag -licers like Jip Jensen and faced them to encourage them.”It was also a major performance for Sanjay, which captained the side. “You settled by playing with the seniors and playing in their directions. However, he had to guide the side and two young goalkeepers and shared his experience between them, ”Shivendra said.Some of these players also got a chance to travel to Australia with the Indian senior team, and played some matches there. However, it was strange to see that they did not make them squads for the Asia Cup.In Fulton’s opinion, however, “It was not a wise step to highlight young players in a qualifying tournament.” But he wants to work with the group throughout the year and gives them time to play in the upcoming tournament.“We have a year to build the same group we took to Australia because they are our small groups and then we will keep them in the system and will play them through the Pro League and then obviously we have some talented under -21s that are coming after the Junior World Cup and then bringing them into a big squad,” Falton said before the tournament.Hopefully, this will help in planning to achieve them a year in advance and will eventually help India to perform well in the World Cup and Asian Games.
