RCB’s Rajat Patidar names the standout performer and a batsman who changed his mindset and there is no Virat Kohli

3 min readUpdated: Jun 1, 2026 05:56 PM IST In their successful defence of the IPL title, Royal Challengers Bengaluru had several standout performances from their players, but asked to pick one, their captain Rajat Patidar has picked young batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The 15-year-old, who walked away with plenty of accolades during the prize distribution ceremony, ended with the Orange Cap as well. Though the likes of Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rasikh Salam and Krunal Pandya had stellar seasons for RCB, when asked to name on standout performer on Monday, chose to name Sooryavanshi. “It’s pretty clear, you know, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Because he is so young and the way he has dominated in this tournament, he has not just played, he has dominated every bowler – top bowlers of the world. So, the way he played his shots, you know, he is amazing. Whenever I see him on the TV, the way he was clearing the rope, it was superb. So, I wish him luck for the future,” Patidar said. The RCB captain also …

If you don’t have a winning mindset, you cannot win I By Sriram Singh

If you don’t have a winning mindset, you cannot win I By Sriram Singh

I have competed in three Asian Games and three Olympics. In my second Asian Games, in Tehran in 1974, I won a gold medal in the 800m with a new Asian Record and a silver medal in the relay. And in my second Olympics in Montreal in 1976, I set a National and Asian record with a time of 1:45.77. I finished seventh in the world, and that record stood the test of time for 42 years. Montreal 1976 was the first time I saw a synthetic track. In India, I was clocking 1 minute and 47 seconds in 800m. On the first day, before the heat, I thought the heats would be my final race. But I crossed the finish line in 1:45.77s and qualified for the semi-finals with a new National and Asian record. On the second day, I ran in 1 minute 46 seconds and qualified for the final. After two days of back-to-back races, I was so fatigued and had so much muscle pain that I barely slept the night before …

Kuldeep Yadav backs attacking mindset ahead of DC’s MI clash in IPL 2026: ‘You will be hit for runs in T20s’ | Cricket News

5 min readApr 3, 2026 11:12 PM IST Delhi Capitals’ left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav’s dismissal of Mitchell Marsh highlighted his wicket-taking ability and also his courage to stick to what works for him. This was during the team’s season opener, an away match against Lucknow Super Giants earlier this week. Off the first ball of the 10th over, Kuldeep bowled wide outside off stump. Just as the ball began to spin back, Marsh moved his front foot out of the way and unleashed the slog sweep to hit it into the stands beyond deep mid-wicket. Two balls later, Kuldeep’s line was straighter on the middle stump, but the ball was slightly slower. Marsh saw another opportunity to hit a six. He targeted the straight boundary, but the ball didn’t turn toward the right-hander, and the trajectory was straighter. Marsh mistimed the shot and was caught at mid-off. Credit to Kuldeep for not bowling faster through the air despite being hit for a six by Marsh. He operated around 84-85 kph and gave the ball …

Neeraj Chopra’s advice to young athletes: “Be mentally stable, have patience, don’t have shortcut mindset and be more informed” | Sport-others News

3 min readMar 20, 2026 05:18 PM IST In candid remarks to young athletes, Neeraj Chopra emphasised the growing need for mental strength and patience in modern sports. Speaking in a video released by his foundation about the challenges faced by the new generation, the former Olympic and world champion said, “I feel that the athletes who join us should have patience, which is very less nowadays. They should have patience that everything will be done step by step.” Chopra said for him, success was never just about strength or speed — it was about discipline of the mind. He warned against rushing the process: “They should not have a shortcut mindset.” Instead, he emphasised purpose. “Indian sports need athletes who can set an example. So, we have to show a new path to the next generation of Indian sports.” Looking back, he admitted his own journey lacked that awareness. “In the beginning, we were only doing sports. We did not know what was happening in the world,” he said. Today, he believes young athletes …

Sjoerd Marijne’s India Blueprint: Inside the training, tactics and mindset shift driving women’s hockey team | Hockey News

Sjoerd Marijne’s India Blueprint: Inside the training, tactics and mindset shift driving women’s hockey team | Hockey News

The stories travelled ahead of him. Long before Sjoerd Marijne gathered the current core of the Indian women’s hockey team, the younger players had already heard whispers. About the grind, the discipline, and most famously, the eight-hour training sessions in the lead-up to the Tokyo Olympics. So when Marijne now casually asks, “Do you have heavy legs?”, the response is almost rehearsed. “No, no, no, coach.” The sessions may not (yet) be as brutal, but the message has landed. Loud and clear. The old-timers in the team — the Lalremsiamis, Navneet Kaurs and Sushila Chanus — experienced this after they qualified for the Tokyo Olympics in late 2019. When the players reassembled for the national camp in Bengaluru, Marijne — unhappy with the lethargy shown in the qualifying match — scheduled a one-off eight-hour training session. It started at 8 in the morning and ended at 4 pm, with a short lunch break being the only downtime. For Marijne, the significance of that marathon session was never about punishment. It was about imprinting a mindset …

Chhaava Writer Reacts After AR Rahman Calls Film ‘Divisive’: ‘An Entire Mindset Cannot Be Changed’ | Bollywood News

Last Updated:February 22, 2026, 20:11 IST Chhaava writer Rishi Virmani reacts after AR Rahman calls the Vicky Kaushal starrer divisive. He says films cannot change an entire mindset in hours. After AR Rahman described Chhaava as “divisive,” writer Rishi Virmani responds, saying films cannot alter mindsets and audiences think for themselves. Weeks after composer AR Rahman described Chhaava as “divisive” and acknowledged that some of the criticism surrounding the film had merit, writer Rishi Virmani has weighed in on the debate. The historical epic, directed by Laxman Utekar, may have stormed the box office, but it also found itself at the centre of a wider political and cultural conversation. Virmani, however, does not believe cinema alone has the power to reshape deeply rooted beliefs. “An Entire Mindset Cannot Be Changed In A Few Hours” Addressing the allegations that the film fueled division, Virmani dismissed the idea that a two-and-a-half-hour film could meaningfully alter public consciousness. “It is hard to believe that an entire mindset can be changed in just a couple of hours of screen …

‘The churan of mindset is being sold very wrongly. Until you don’t have the skill…’: Pakistan great on Babar Azam’s form in T20Is | Cricket News

4 min readUpdated: Feb 19, 2026 10:27 PM IST The ongoing T20 World Cup has seen Pakistan batsman Babar Azam once again struggling form as the former Pakistan captain has only made a total of 66 runs in four matches in the marquee event so far. Azam, who was slated to bat at number six in place of number four spot during Pakistan’s 102-run win over Namibia on Wednesday, had earlier batted at number four in Pakistan’s opening match against Netherlands followed by the match against arch rivals India and USA and has not scored a hundred in the T20I format since 2023. Azam’s last hundred in T20Is had come against New Zealand at Lahore in 2023 and former Pakistan captain and selector Mohammad Yousuf believes that the idea of mindset is being sold in case of Babar Azam’s role in T20Is and when a player doesn’t has the skill, the mindset cannot do anything. “The churan of mindset is being sold very wrongly. Until you don’t have the skill, the mind can’t do anything. …

3 min readUpdated: Feb 13, 2026 09:13 AM IST After another stellar contribution with the bat in India’s 93-run win over Namibia on Thursday, Ishan Kishan touched upon how his mindset changed in the two years he spent out of the India set-up. Speaking to reporters after his blistering 24-ball 61 put India on their way to a formidable total of 209, Kishan indicated that there is more to his jovial nature than what meets the eye. “I’m a changed man now,” he said about his period in exile from the national team. “I don’t get into it too much. I do enjoy jokes and everything, I still do it. But earlier, I used to do it 24×7. Now, let’s say it’s only a few hours a day. More time and energy has been spent concentrating on my batting and wicketkeeping.” Underlining the fact that he still can’t resist a wisecrack every now and then, Kishan added with a chuckle: “Everything (other than cricket) is secondary. Especially under Gautam (Gambhir) bhai.” ALSO READ | What’s …
