I don't mind starting from scratch: Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw (PTI Photo) CHENNAI: Prithvi Shaw was Shubman Gill 's captain in the U-19 World Cup that India won in New Zealand in 2018. Seven years down the line, Gill is on the cusp of the Indian senior team's allformat captaincy while Shaw, once touted as a 'boy wonder' and the 'next big thing', is trying to make a comeback into the firstclass fold after losing his way. Question marks over fitness, form and discipline took a huge toll on the opener as he got dropped from the Mumbai Ranji squad last year and went unsold in the IPL-2025 auction. Now he is back in the domestic scene where it all began, this time turning out for Maharashtra. Shaw, who had scored a ton on his India Test debut, announced his comeback in familiar fashion with a well-paced century (111; 141b; 15x4, 1x6) against Chhattisgarh on Day Two of the Buchi Babu tournament here on Tuesday. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'I don't mind starting from scratch again because I've seen many ups and downs in my life. I've been up there and been down there. I've also come back up there. So, everything is possible. I'm confident of myself, my work ethic. And my family has been the biggest support in my tough times. Hopefully, I'll get back there soon,' said Shaw. During his knock, as he entered the nineties, the right-hander danced down the track to launch a stunning six. Shaw said he was going back to basics and taking each day as it comes. 'I don't want to change anything. I feel I just went back to basics, doing the things I used to do in my under-19 days, things which got me into the Indian team. I'm just doing all that stuff back again. 'I'm trying to be myself and trying not to be on social media or any of those kinds of distractions. It's kind of peaceful when I'm not using it,' he added. Shaw has started to get his belief back. 'I feel I have never lost. It's always about learning. Earlier, I was trying to think about the future and I don't think it worked for me. So now what I'm trying to do is go day by day. I try to be in the present. I'm that kind of person right now.' Asked if he received any messages or calls from the cricket fraternity during his 'tough times', pat came the reply: 'No one.' 'It's fine. I don't want anyone's sympathy. I've had my family's support and my friends who were there with me when I was not really well mentally. Obviously, people are busy doing their work and they have their family as well. So it didn't bother me at all because I had my family and then I was practising. 'I was in that zone where I was doing everything alone and it was really good for me.' Shaw said he has also been focusing on his fitness in the build-up to the season. 'These two-three months, I had my trainer come personally and train me, and I've got a dietician as well. 'All this over the last threefour months has really changed me physically and mentally. And maybe it can be seen on the field,' said Shaw, who was running briskly between the wickets earlier in the day. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

Under Murali Sreeshankar's guidance, Shahnawaz Khan eyes bigger leaps
Shahnawaz Khan (Image credit: Athletics Federation of India) KOCHI: When 17-year-old Shahnawaz Khan crossed the 8-metre mark at the Indian Open World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze Meet in Bhubaneswar last week, Murali Sreeshankar was the first to rush and congratulate him. The milestone made Shahnawaz just the 12th Indian to breach the 8-metre barrier in men's long jump. It was a feat that barely registered with the soft-spoken teen. 'I didn't realise it was such a big deal until Sreeshankar bhaiyya hugged me,' said Shahnawaz. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'At the world level, 8m doesn't mean much. Maybe it's a big deal because I'm a junior, but for me, it felt normal.' Sreeshankar claimed gold with a leap of 8.13m, while Shahnawaz bagged silver with 8.04m. The young athlete trains under Bhupinder Singh at the SAI Centre of Excellence in Thiruvananthapuram and shares regular sessions with Sreeshankar, one of India's elite long jumpers. The fanfare notwithstanding, Shahnawaz remains focused on bigger goals. 'I want to clear 8.50m,' he told TOI, referring to the current national record of 8.42m held by Jeswin Aldrin. The qualification mark for the World Athletics Championships stands at 8.27m. His self-belief was evident even before the Bhubaneswar event. Confident of an 8-metre jump, he pinned a paper to his back marked '8+'. 'It's a habit. At the U-18 Nationals in Prayagraj, I wrote 7.90. Next time, I'll write 8.20,' he said. Shahnawaz's rise has been steady. He won gold with a 7.70m jump at the 38th National Games in February, followed by another gold at the Junior Federation Cup in June with a 7.90m effort. His physical build — muscular as well as tall — gives him explosive power at take-off, setting him apart from many of his leaner peers. A key part of his development has been training alongside Sreeshankar. 'I've learned a lot from him — runway technique, training routines, and his international experience. He's always ready to help, and even his father gives advice to our coach,' Shahnawaz said. It was Sreeshankar's guidance that helped him nail his fourth jump in Bhubaneswar after two fouls. 'He told me to control my runup, and it worked , ' said Shahnawaz, though he couldn't improve on his mark in subsequent attempts. 'I'll try to go farther in my next competition.' Off the track, the youngster faces hurdles of a different kind. 'I joined the Khelo India scheme two years ago, which provides Rs 30,000 every three months, but I haven't received it in the last six months,' Shahnawaz added, who lost his father when he was 10. Despite these setbacks, the teen's resolve remains unshaken. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
