‘Virat, the nation needs you!' - Shashi Tharoor urges Kohli to rethink Test retirement amid England vs India series
Shashi Tharoor has urged Virat Kohli to rethink his Test retirement after the senior Congress leader shared that he had been missing the former captain 'never as much as' in the ongoing fifth Test against England. Kohli, who had a tough run in Australia last year, took a sudden Test retirement just before the England series along with Rohit Sharma. In the absence of Kohli, the young Indian team in transition performed brilliantly in England in all the five matches, but Tharoor felt Kohli's grit, intensity and his presence in the field might had led to a different outcome. The fifth Test is poised to end in a thriller. 'I've been missing @imVkohli a few times during this series, but never as much as in this Test match. His grit and intensity, his inspirational presence in the field, not to mention his abundant batting skills, might have led to a different outcome. Is it too late to call him out of retirement? Virat, the nation needs you!' wrote Tharoor on X. Kohli bid adieu to the longest format of the game with 9230 runs from 123 matches. Meanwhile, bad light interrupted play during the final session of the fourth day in the fifth Test on Sunday. England were 339/6 at the time interruption, needing 35 runs to win the final Test and the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. India, meanwhile, needed just three wickets to win the Test and square the series 2-2 as Chris Woakes has already been ruled out of the match due to injury. However Woakes was seen dressed up with his hand in sling. Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton were batting at 2 and 0 respectively when the umpires checked the light meter and decided the halt the proceedings.

How India's junior squash ended a 13-year world medal wait
Mumbai: Soon after the Indian men's team lost to Korea in the quarter-finals of the 2024 World Squash Junior Championships to stumble one step short of a medal, Harinder Pal Sandhu, coach of the team for the first time, set his mind on the next edition. That not only entailed hunting for the next crop of young probables but also making a quiet promise. The Indian junior men's team won bronze at the recent world junior championships in Cairo (World Junior Squash Championships) 'To never have that feeling again, if ever the opportunity came up again,' said Harinder. It did, against the same team at the same stage. This time in Cairo, up against a more fancied, third seeded Asian champion Korea, the Indians would script a 2-1 upset and secure a medal. Although they lost to USA in the semi-finals, the bronze by the boys added to 17-year-old Anahat Singh's individual bronze from the recent world juniors. The team medal was equally significant, if not more, given that the last time an Indian men's team medalled at the prestigious event was in 2012 (bronze). Sandhesh PR, Yusha Nafees, Arihant KS and Aryaveer Dewan ended a more than decade-long wait, and showed promise in the men's game to go with Anahat's potential among the women in a sport that will make its Olympic debut at Los Angeles in 2028. Of the four medallists, only Arihant was part of the previous edition in Houston. The other first-timers were zeroed in by Harinder, a former top-50 pro whose career was curtailed by a severe back injury in 2018. The 36-year-old coach's 'eyes were locked on' the national and Asian circuit over the last year. 'I would study their games in every tournament, or whenever they came to play in Chennai. And then I would speak to each one of them every day,' Harinder said. Aryaveer, 16, won the U-17 individual gold at the Asian Junior Championships in July. He is also a 2023 U-15 US Open winner. Arihant, 18, was the India No.1 in the U-15 age group. He beat Korea's Lee Jong-hyeok in the decider, after the tie was locked 1-1. Yusha, 17, was India No.1 in the U-17 category. He gave India the 1-0 lead. Sandesh won the U-19 title at the WSC Classic Open in January. Each has different personalities and plays a different game, said Harinder. Sandesh, the No.1 player in the team, was down on confidence after a below-par individual outing. He asked Harinder to drop him down in the team order. The coach refused. Instead, he engaged the teen in plenty of talk that was at times polite and angry yet always honest. For Arihant and Sandesh, this was their last junior cycle as they prepare to step up into the demanding pro world. 'Both showed they're ready to play on the pro circuit. The game that they played over the last week was very professional, and different to what the juniors play. I hope they will reach top 100 and 50 soon,' said Harinder. 'As for Yusha and Aryaveer, they have the chance to be in the team next year too, provided they keep their level up. This was a good experience for them, and now they know how much they need to work harder if they have to change the colour of the medal.' Harinder, a multiple Asian Games medallist, singled out mindset as the biggest challenge in translating junior promise at the pro level, where many talented youngsters have faltered. In these four though he sees potential to take forward the men's game in the country. As for his coaching career, also in its young days, the team bronze is a tick but not bold enough. 'I'm thankful that SRFI (squash federation) and SAI gave me another opportunity to get this medal,' he said. 'But the satisfaction will come when I can get an Indian or Indians in the final two.'
