Vijay Mallya ‘overwhelmed' by podcast gaining 2 crore views, says ‘fills my heart with joy, factual story being heard…'
Vijay Mallya, the former owner of 2025 IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines, has reacted to the reception of his extensive podcast with YouTuber Raj Shamani. The podcast, titled 'Vijay Mallya Podcast: Rise & Downfall Of Kingfisher Airlines, Loans & RCB', has so far garnered 2 crore views on YouTube, besides multiple clips being shared on other social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. In a post on X on June 10, Vijay Mallya wrote: 'To say that I am humbled and overwhelmed is well short of what I truly feel.' 'A big heartfelt thank you to all those who took the time to watch my 4 hour plus podcast with @rajshamani 20 million views on YouTube alone in 4 days and god knows how many more reposts on Instagram and Facebook fills my heart with joy that my true factual story is being heard. May god bless you all. (sic)' he added. Liquor baron Vijay Mallya, fled India in 2016 after being accused in a bank loan default case of over ₹ 9,000 crore. During the podcast he denied all allegations and issued a rare apology to his former employees while reflecting on the fall of Kingfisher Airlines. He also spoke at length about his first media appearance in nine years, the rise and collapse of Kingfisher, and how he founded the IPL franchise team RCB. When asked by when Shamani, 'Would you be willing to return to country if you are assured fair time'. The fugitive responded, 'If I am assured, Absolutely I will. I will think about it seriously.' On the allegations of financial misconduct, Vijay Mallya said, 'You may call me a fugitive for not going to India post March, but I didn't run away. I flew on a prescheduled visit. Fair enough, I didn't return for reasons that I consider are valid… so if you want to call me a fugitive, go ahead. But where is the 'chor' (thief) coming from? Where is the 'chori' (theft)? From where is the 'chor' [thief] comming from? Where is 'chori' [theft]?' Vijay Mallya lives in Britain at present, and has been embroiled in a long legal battle with lenders – as well as the Indian authorities – following the 2012 collapse of his defunct Kingfisher Airlines. He is accused of defrauding a consortium of Indian banks of over ₹ 9,000 crore (approximately $1.2 billion), primarily through loans granted to Kingfisher Airlines. In February, Mallya informed the Karnataka High Court that the ₹ 6,200 crore debt he owes to the banks has been recovered 'multiple times over,' and requested a detailed statement of accounts showing the amounts recovered from him, his liquidated company United Breweries, and other certificate debtors.

Carlos Alcaraz pulls off historic comeback, lives on the edge at Roland Garros
Carlos Alcaraz (AP Photo) Spaniard Alcaraz pulled off winners from impossible positions in the French Open final, finding angles where most players would only see lines The Times of India at Roland Garros: Juan Carlos Ferrero walked the edge with Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final. After three hours and 43 minutes of play, facing three match points, the 45-year-old felt the moment as did the full house on Court Philippe Chatrier. At 3-5, 0-40 in the fourth set a veil of silence descended on the arena as Alcaraz was getting ready to serve. The 22-year-old looked at Ferrero, his long-time coach. 'It was like he was saying, I'm still here,' Ferrero said, 'I'm not saying that I believed he would recover from 3-5, love-40, but with Carlos everything is possible.' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The word Ferrero was looking for was 'attitude', which when translated to body language spelt 'vamos'. Not long after Ferrero had exited the media room, the world No. 2 — who had scripted that awe-inspiring 4-6, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (10-2) win over the world No. 1 Jannik Sinner to claim his fifth Grand Slam title — was asked if he believed he was in the match when staring down the barrel. Poll What aspect of Alcaraz's performance impressed you the most in the French Open final? His ability to save match points His powerful winners His mental toughness His crowd interaction 'Absolutely,' Alcaraz said. 'The match was not finished, it's one point from losing the match. A lot of times people come back from match point down in the final of Grand Slams. I wanted to be one of those players, who saved match points in a Grand Slam final and ended up winning.' Some of Alcaraz's winners in the business end of the fifth set as he attempted to put the finishing touches to one of the greatest fightbacks in the sport were electric, it charged the crowd, and defined the exchange. The Spaniard had 70 in the match. Who's that IPL player? The first Grand Slam men's championship match between two players born in the 2000s made history, turning into the longest Roland Garros final on record at five hours and 29 minutes, the second longest of Major finals after the 2012 Australian Open that lasted five-hours and 53-minutes. Alcaraz had the spectators — nearly 15,000-strong on Chatrier, including celebrities from the entertainment industry and the world of sport, young fans and seasoned spectators — gasping, thumping their palms and jumping up on their feet and screaming 'Carlitos, Carlitos, Carlitos'. The chant is fast becoming a crowd favourite wherever he plays. The Spaniard, who won his first Major crown at the 2022 US Open as a 19-year-old, has now won at least one Slam in four consecutive seasons. Bombay Sport Exchange Ep. 6: Harish Thawani on cricket's TV market and the watershed moments The world No. 2, who was propelled into the contest by the energy of the crowd in the early part of the match when Sinner looked to be running away with it, thanked fans by playing his best tennis on the home stretch, the 12th game of the fifth set and the match tie-break. He pulled off winners from impossible positions, finding angles where most players would only see lines. 'I had to go for it no matter what, no matter if I was down, no matter if it was the super tiebreak,' Alcaraz said of his decision to accelerate, which was exactly what the Italian failed to do when he had the match points. 'I thought it was time to go for it, not be afraid of mistakes. That's why I (played) my best tennis in crucial moments, at 6-5 in the fifth. I still don't know how I did it. I still don't know how I saved that game. ' At 22 years and 34 days old, Alcaraz became the third-youngest man to win five Grand Slam titles in history. He trails Bjorn Borg (22 years, 5 days) and Rafael Nadal (22 years, 33 days). 'The coincidence of winning my fifth Grand Slam in the same age as Rafa Nadal, I'm going to say that's destiny,' Alcaraz said. 'It is a stat I'm going to keep with me forever, winning the fifth Grand Slam at the same time as Rafa, my idol, my inspiration is a huge honour.' Alcaraz, who became the ninth man in the Open Era to come from two sets down in a Major final, has rallied twice before from difficult situations in Grand Slam finals. 'I prefer to win in three sets,' the champion said smiling. 'But when the situation is against you, you have to keep fighting. It is a Grand Slam final, it's no time to be tired, it's no time to give up. The real champions are made in those situations when you deal with that pressure.' Alcaraz should know.

Rishabh Pant breaks Lord's roof with monstrous six, shows pulsating trailer before India vs England Test series
The Shubman Gill-led India have arrived in the UK and the 18-member squad has begun its training in full swing for the upcoming five-match Test series against England, beginning June 20 in Headingley, Leeds. The squad, which is minus Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma due to their Test retirements, started preparing for the high-octane series last week. India are currently based in London and have been training at the Lord's Cricket Ground, which is also the venue for the World Test Championship (WTC) final. Rishabh Pant has begun his preparation in full swing and the left-handed batter is leaving no stone unturned in fine-tuning his skills to take on the likes of Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes. During a training session at the Lord's Cricket Ground, Rishabh Pant was seen practising big-hitting against the spinners, and it was then that he showed what he is truly capable of. Off the bowling of Washington Sundar, the left-handed Pant brought out the slog sweep and this ended up breaking the roof of the training ground at the Lord's Cricket Ground. This might be just a trailer for the upcoming India versus England Test series. Pant has a good record in the UK, having smashed two centuries. In the nine matches he has played on English soil, the 27-year-old has scored 556 runs at an average of 32.70. Also Read: Jasprit Bumrah fired up against Shubman Gill; Gautam Gambhir instructs newcomer; Rishabh Pant sledges Mohammed Siraj Speaking of Rishabh Pant, the Lucknow Super Giants captain had a below-par in the IPL, scoring 269 runs in 14 matches. His numbers would have looked abysmal had he not scored a century in the final league stage match against the eventual champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Against Rajat Patidar's side, Pant played an unbeaten knock of 118. However, this knock went in vain as RCB chased the total down. The Indian team will be playing an intra-squad match later this week against India A ahead of the first Test against England. The match is set to begin on June 13. India A recently played out two draws against the England Lions. However, the likes of Karun Nair and KL Rahul impressed one and all and the duo have emerged as the sure-shot starters in the playing XI in the first Test. The Test series between India and England will commence on June 20 in Leeds. The action will then move to Birmingham for the second Test. The Lord's Cricket Ground will host the third Test, while Old Trafford and Kennington Oval will host the fourth and fifth Tests of the series, respectively. India squad: Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (VC & WK), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd. Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
