After winning IPL 2025, Senior RCB member meets Swami Chidanad Saraswati in Rishikesh, his name is......
New Delhi: Former Zimbabwean cricketer and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) coach Andy Flower met Swami Chidanand Saraswati, president and spiritual guru of Paramarth Niketan Ashram, on Saturday.

He recently led RCB to its first IPL title as a coach. There's more to win— Andy Flower
Speaking to ANI, Flower said, 'I was talking to Swamiji about the teams. Our tendency as a sports organization is to grab the trophy that we want to win. And everything is about winning. But from my playing and coaching experience, winning is not enough. There has to be something more meaningful in it, something more meaningful. Because winning is sometimes a bit hollow after winning sometimes there has to be something else to it. We were talking about what type of impact you can have on others and groups but for that you won't necessarily have a positive impact on yourself unless you are in a good position. Could.'
New perspective from yoga

I have been in Rishikesh for the past two weeks and have been learning a lot about yoga. I have learned that yoga is not just a one-hour class, but it is a lifestyle for millions of people that I have practiced, physically and physically. Enjoyed a lot.

Animesh Kujur clocks fastest 200m ever run by an Indian with 20.27s sprint at European meet
Animesh Kujur (X Photo) NEW DELHI: Animesh Kujur, India's exceptional sprinting talent, has demonstrated his remarkable speed once again with an outstanding display in a European competition, solidifying his position as one of the nation's finest track athletes. Considered India's own 'Lightning Bolt', the 21-year-old Odisha sprinter set the track ablaze at the AtleticaGeneve 2025 – a World Athletics continental tour bronze level event – by running the men's 200m race in a breathtaking 20.27s at the Stade de Genève on Saturday evening. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The performance established him as the fastest Indian to cover the 200m distance, marking an excellent beginning to his European campaign. Despite the impressive timing, due to a wind assistance of +2.3 m/s, Animesh's achievement cannot be registered as a new national record for the 200m. Nevertheless, it stands as the fastest time achieved by an Indian athlete. World Athletics regulations specify that only times recorded with wind assistance of +2.0 m/s or less are considered valid for record purposes. 'Cricketers Aren't Cattle... ': Harish Thawani on the IPL and Business of Indian Cricket Animesh, who currently holds India's national records in both 100m and 200m events, secured fifth position in his heat and sixth overall in the final race. Although his start was modest on Lane 5, he maintained his composure and executed a powerful run through the curve, surpassing numerous competitors in an impressive display. Benjamin Richardson from South Africa claimed victory in 19.79s, followed by Xavi Mo-Ajok of the Netherlands at 19.96s, while Israel's Blessing Afrifa secured third place with 19.99s. In the previous month, Animesh surpassed his own national record, set earlier this year, becoming the second Indian male to secure a 200m medal at the Asian athletics championships in Gumi, South Korea. He recorded 20.32s in the final for bronze, bettering his previous national mark of 20.40s from the Federation Cup. Post his medal success in Gumi, Animesh stated, 'I want to become the first Indian athlete to run below 20s. I am working in that direction. I am waiting for that performance to happen'. Accompanied by Martin Owens, head coach of the Odisha-Reliance Foundation High Performance Centre, Animesh is competing in various European meets aiming to qualify for the World athletics championships in Tokyo from Sept 13-21. Strong performances at AtleticaGeneve and subsequent events will help him accumulate crucial ranking points for World championship qualification, as achieving the automatic qualification mark (20.16s) appears challenging.

Rishabh Pant can't keep calm after Sunil Gavaskar replaces 'stupid' with 'superb': 'Feeling toh wohi hai…'
Jun 22, 2025 04:39 PM IST During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Rishabh Pant was at the receiving end of one of the most infamous meltdowns by none other than Sunil Gavaskar. The former India captain, not one to mince words, absolutely lost it inside the commentary box and tucked into the India keeper. Pant had played a reckless shot to get out in the third Test in Melbourne, and an irate Gavaskar let it rip on the microphone. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid", he said. It's been six months since the incident took place, but the string of memes and jokes it has left behind is still fresh. Rishabh Pant has reacted to Sunil Gavaskar's 'superb' praise.(AP) But how things have changed. We are in June, with the same Rishabh Pant. The same Sunil Gavaskar. The only difference is the mood. Pant hammered his 7th Test century on Day 2 of the first India vs England Test at Headingley, Leeds, and when he struck a six to reach the three-figure mark, Gavaskar was on the mic again. Only this time, he used a new word, also starting with 'S'. "Superb. Superb. Superb," he said with a beaming smile on his face. Also Read: India vs England 1st Test Day 3 Live And rightly so. Having struggled in Australia and almost the entire IPL, Pant has roared back to form, scoring centuries in back-to-back matches. He concluded the IPL with a knock of 118 for Lucknow Super Giants against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and followed it with 134 against England here. Pant, when informed that Gavaskar's criticism was replaced by praise, was clearly excited and could not hide it from his former India teammate Cheteshwar Pujara. What Rishabh Pant said "Feeling toh wohi hai jo aapko hai. (I have the same feelings as you)," he told India's former No. 3. "It feels really good that I have been able to work on my shortcomings. And convert your setbacks into comebacks. That was always my thought process. I felt that I wasn't up to the mark on a certain aspect but luckily I was able to change it. By working hard, focussing well and adding a layer of discipline to my game. So that's been exciting for me."
