On this Day | When Rohit Sharma’s India conquered New Zealand in the 2025 Champions Trophy Final | Cricket News

4 min readMar 6, 2026 03:49 PM IST The similarities are uncanny. When India take to the field for the T20 World Cup final against New Zealand on Sunday, it would be almost to the day a year ago when the same two sides met in Dubai to decide who won the ICC Champions Trophy. It was March 9, 2025 when skipper Rohit Sharma led from the front with an 83-ball 76 as India overhauled the target of 252 set by the Black Caps for a four-wicket win. It was the second successive ICC white-ball trophy for the Men in Blue after the T20 World Cup triumph the previous year, and Suryakumar Yadav and his men would like to makeit three out of three in Ahmedabad on Sunday. They seem to be making up for lost time after India went 11 years without a major ICC crown. On that day in Dubai, New Zealand got off to a fast start with the bat after winning the toss. Rachin Ravindra was the more aggressive opener with …

How Pooja Krishnamoorthy conquered the challenging Brazil 135 ultra marathon

How Pooja Krishnamoorthy conquered the challenging Brazil 135 ultra marathon

For most, the Caminho da Fé (Path of Faith) in Brazil is a sacred pilgrimage to a holy cathedral. But for Mumbai-based advertising producer Pooja Krishnamoorthy, it was the backdrop for 200 kilometers of physical and mental challenge. Last month, Krishnamoorthy completed the Brazil 135 Ultramarathon, an elite race through the grueling Serra da Mantiqueira mountains, often cited as one of the toughest in the world. The 135 here stands for 135 miles or roughly 217 kilometers. Krishnamoorthy completed the distance in 48 hours and 5 minutes and 26 seconds, well within the 60-hour cutoff. Despite the extreme fatigue associated with 200-plus kilometers of mountain running, she maintained a remarkably positive headspace. “I didn’t feel like giving up even at one moment,” said Krishnamoorthy in a conversation with The Bridge. “There was never a feeling of giving up because I was enjoying the run so much and the route was beautiful, it was super scenic. I wanted it so bad that I don’t think it ever occurred to me that this is something I want …

Alishan Sharafu: The karate kid who chose cricket and conquered the Black Caps | Cricket News

5 min readChennaiFeb 10, 2026 08:56 PM IST A few months after he turned 15, Alishan Sharafu faced a big decision: whether to attend the U-16 trials in his home state of Kerala or stay in Dubai with his family. Just then, he was included in the UAE’s U-19 squad. Eventually, he chose the pragmatic option of staying in his country of residence. “My family is here, I don’t need to shift, and I can attend school without much interruption,” he told this newspaper during the Asia Cup. Besides, the process in India was lengthy. “It’s a long process there—you have to pass through district, state, and zone,” he added. A decade later, he doesn’t rue the road not taken. Three years after turning out for the junior side, he transitioned to the senior team and became a regular fixture with his daring batting. The 23-year-old acquainted the Black Caps with his carefree spirit. He glided down the pitch to Matt Henry, one of the most fearsome fast bowlers around. The good-length ball clocked 90mph …

The year Indian women athletes conquered the global sporting arenas

The year Indian women athletes conquered the global sporting arenas

Some years change scorelines. Others change structures. 2025 was the latter, a year when Indian women athletes didn’t merely win medals, but quietly dismantled long-held ideas about who succeeds, where success comes from, and which sports are deemed worthy of attention. What stood out wasn’t just excellence at the top. It was depth across niches, from chess prodigies and world-champion boxers to blind cricketers, skiers, ice hockey players, kabaddi defenders, armless archers, and footballers still fighting for basic recognition. Indian women showed up everywhere Indian sport had historically looked away. This was not dominance confined to one discipline. This was breadth, resilience, and defiance. Divya Deshmukh When Divya Deshmukh won the 2025 FIDE Women’s Chess World Cup, the result felt inevitable only in hindsight. Born in Nagpur on December 9, 2005, Divya entered the tournament as the 15th seed, navigating a brutal field that included some of the world’s most experienced players. Her final opponent was none other than Koneru Humpy, India’s chess icon and a former world championship title challenger. Her 2.5–1.5 victory crowned …

Meet the actor who balanced engineering by day while theater by night, faced homelessness and conquered OTT with single role

Meet the actor who balanced engineering by day while theater by night, faced homelessness and conquered OTT with single role

In today’s “meet the actor,” we spotlight a performer whose journey defies the conventional Bollywood narrative. Before captivating audiences as Harshad Mehta in Scam 1992, he was an industrial engineer juggling a full-time job, grueling commutes, and late-night rehearsals. His ascent to fame wasn’t overnight, it was because of his passion for the art. The actor in question is none other than Pratik Gandhi. Born on April 28, 1980, in Surat, Gujarat, Pratik Gandhi hailed from a family of educators. He pursued Industrial Engineering at North Maharashtra University and, upon graduation in 2004, embarked on a career with the National Productivity Council in Satara. His professional journey later took him to Reliance Infrastructure in Mumbai, where he worked until 2016. Despite a demanding job, Pratik’s heart remained tethered to the stage. He would wake up at 5:30 AM for rehearsals, work a full day, and then return to the theater in the evening. This rigorous routine was fueled by his unwavering love for acting. Life threw significant challenges his way. In 2006, the Surat floods …

How Arne Slot’s men conquered Premier League for their coveted 20th English title

How Arne Slot’s men conquered Premier League for their coveted 20th English title

As Liverpool’s season unfolded, summiting in their 20th league triumph at a canter with a 5-1 win against Tottenham on Sunday, the songs celebrating former Jurgen Klopp grew feebler. His face faded a little from the flags fluttering in the stands. Not that the faithful cruelly forgot the man who reacquainted the institution with success after decades of pain, turned them from a nostalgia brand to a genuine force. But they were fully embracing his successor Arne Slot, knee sunk in the raptures of an unforeseen march to the title, and dancing to the tunes of a bashful Dutchman who rarely moves on the touchline. On the day of their coronation, Liverpool barely flinched as Spurs landed the first punch. Instead of panicking, the Reds just turned on the afterburners to thrash their woeful North London opponents with an alarming efficiency. It was not meant to be the year of Liverpool or Slot. Premier League success tends to conform to a pattern. A new manager comes, feels, instills his ideals, builds and rebuilds, stumbles and …

Aishwarya Rai to Priyanka Chopra: Bollywood celebs who conquered Hollywood

Ranveer Allahbadia has left everyone shocked with his comments during Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent show. He asked a male contestant a ‘disturbing’ question about ‘sex with parents.’ The controversial question was, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to make it stop forever?” These comments got him a lot of hate.
