Rishabh Pant Turned Off Phone, Deleted WhatsApp: Indias Star Batter Punished Himself For Stupid, Stupid Act Before Epic Test Comeback
Rishabh Pant roared back to form in sensational fashion with back-to-back centuries in the first Test against England at Headingley, Leeds. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter smashed 118 and 104 across two innings, single-handedly carrying India's fight with the bat. Despite his heroics, India lost the match by five wickets, giving England a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Still, Pant's aggressive stroke play and resilience under pressure were among the few positives for India from the loss. From Australia Failure to England Fireworks Pant's resurgence comes after a disappointing run in the earlier Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2025 in Australia. Over five Tests, the left-hander managed just 255 runs at a poor average of 28.33 — a far cry from his usual standards. His innings were dotted with uncharacteristic misjudgments, with the most talked-about moment being his ill-timed ramp shot during the Melbourne Test that led to his dismissal. The shot triggered sharp criticism from Sunil Gavaskar in the commentary box, whose 'Stupid, stupid, stupid' reaction went viral on social media. It was a turning point for Pant, who took the harsh words to heart and chose a path of complete introspection and self-discipline. Extreme Measures After Melbourne Debacle According to reports, Pant responded to the Melbourne criticism by drastically altering his routine. He uninstalled WhatsApp and switched off his mobile phone to avoid distractions and channel his focus solely on improving his game. India's former strength and conditioning coach Sohum Desai revealed to Times of India that Pant immersed himself in intense training. 'He did the most intense sessions day in and day out. He dragged me into the gym whenever he was free. He didn't care about fatigue or work-loaded programmes. All he said was he needed to keep working on himself.' Desai further noted Pant's physical resilience: 'Pant has so much reserve that he will be fine for at least a year without having to do anything extraordinary. That's why you see him moving around so well despite scoring two hundreds and keeping wickets for so long in the Headingley Test.' India's Spark Amid Defeat Pant's turnaround not only showed his mental toughness but also served as a reminder of his value to the Indian Test team. With centuries in both innings, he became only the second Indian wicketkeeper to achieve the feat in a single Test and the first to do so in an overseas match. Even though India ended up on the losing side, Pant's form will be a key factor as the series progresses.

Kabaddi goes global: A new league draws up an international playbook with Olympic goals—but can it last?
Mumbai: Kabaddi's global leap is getting a new push, and this time it's not from a broadcaster or a federation but from an entrepreneur betting on scale, structure, and sports entertainment. Sambhav Jain, founder of SJ Uplift Kabaddi Pvt. Ltd, is preparing to launch the World Super Kabaddi League (WSKL) in February-March in Dubai. The franchise-based league is backed by the International Kabaddi Federation and more than 20 national federations, and has ambitions of pushing kabaddi towards Olympic recognition. 'Getting kabaddi into the Olympics requires at least 40 to 50 active participating nations. We are starting with 30 countries already engaged and building from there," Jain told Mint. The league has secured commercial rights from the South Asian Kabaddi Federation and plans to structure WSKL not as a seasonal tournament but as a year-round league with academies, international talent scouting, and regional fan engagement. This isn't the first time kabaddi has been dressed in modern formats and thrust on a bigger stage. But the question remains: Can a sport rooted in rural India sustain global attention beyond an opening-week buzz? WSKL believes its differentiator is its player composition and location strategy. Unlike the Pro Kabaddi League, where 90% of the roster is Indian, WSKL is flipping the ratio, with 60-70% foreign players and 30-40% Indian athletes in its first season. Over the next 2-3 years, Jain plans to lower Indian representation in WSKL to about 20% to make room for global talent. The league will operate with eight franchises and a total player purse of ₹48 crore, fully funded by the franchise owners. Negotiations are underway with owners from the US, Canada, and South Korea. 'We are targeting sports investors who understand risk, return and fan-building, not just short-term exposure," Jain said. Before going global, Jain tested the waters with the Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League—a regional, franchise-based league launched by his company 1X Sportz in partnership with the UP Kabaddi Association. The inaugural season last year featured eight teams and combined grassroots scouting with a professional auction format. The Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League drew encouraging early traction, including broadcast deals and brand partnerships, which Jain calls the 'proof of concept" for his bigger ambitions. 'UPKL gave us the operational playbook and showed there's appetite for kabaddi as structured IP (intellectual property)," he said. WSKL's real test WSKL franchisees will be offered a central revenue share via media rights, sponsorships, and merchandise, with a projected return on investments in 2-3 seasons. Dubai was chosen as the host city because of its strategic visibility and access to diaspora audiences, Jain said, adding that talks are ongoing with broadcasters in India and overseas. A non-exclusive, multi-region syndication strategy is on the cards, he said. Confirmed participating nations include Iran, South Korea, Bangladesh, Thailand, Japan, and the US. Jain is financing the venture himself and has no immediate plans to dilute equity or raise funds. 'We have seen what happens when leagues get bloated too early. We are staying lean, focused, and structured for sustainability," he said. Still, the sports entertainment market is littered with cautionary tales. From the Pro Volleyball League's legal tussles to the Indian Super League's uneven football franchise economics and table tennis struggling for consistent traction, non-cricket leagues in India have had mixed fates. Jain believes WSKL is learning from those failures. 'We are not copying the IPL (the popular Indian Premier League 20-over-a-side cricket format)," he said. 'We are adapting its best practices but keeping kabaddi's cultural and commercial reality in mind. You can't build a global league with just flash—you need foundation." Mumbai-based pharmaceutical company ACG Group, too, plans to avoid the IPL format for its recently announced professional basketball league. GMR Sports—which owns the UP Yoddhas team in the Pro Kabaddi League, the Telugu Yoddhas team in Ultimate Kho Kho, and a 50% stake in the Delhi Capitals IPL team—is preparing to launch the Rugby Premier League. The World Super Kabaddi League hopes to build credibility through institutional alignment. 'We are officially sanctioned by IKF and have 20 federations onboard, which gives us legitimacy. But now it's about execution," he added. For all its ambition, WSKL's real test will be fan retention, franchise patience, and its ability to turn kabaddi into a 12-month commercial asset. The format may be ready, but the world and the market will need convincing.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli (ICC Photo) NEW DELHI: A year after lifting the ICC Men's T20 World Cup trophy in Barbados, Rohit Sharma walked down memory lane, reliving one of the most defining moments of India's historic win over South Africa — Virat Kohli 's gritty half-century and his game-changing partnership with Axar Patel.

For Rohit, Kohli's poise under pressure wasn't just about his shot-making, but a reflection of his years of experience playing for India. 'The experience of playing for India over so many years also helps in those moments. You learn to control your emotions, manage your thoughts, and stay in the present. I'm sure even he (Virat) was thinking, 'Today is the day—I need to stay focused and not worry about what happened in the past.'' Kohli rose to the occasion when it mattered most—anchoring India's innings with a match-defining 76 and putting together a crucial partnership with Axar Patel after India lost three quick wickets.

Rohit reserved special praise for Axar Patel, whose 47 off 31 balls was instrumental in tilting the momentum. 'Not many people are talking about Axar's knock, but that innings was a real game-changer,' he said. 'To score 47 off 31 balls at that stage was incredibly crucial.'
