Manu Bhaker on Jaspal Rana’s death: ‘Shooting range will never feel same again’ | Sports News

India’s double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker paid a heartfelt tribute to her long-time coach, Jaspal Rana, following his death, remembering him not just as the man who shaped her shooting career but also as someone who became one of her closest confidants. “I still can’t believe it,” Manu told Olympics.com on Friday. “It is unbelievable news. I am struggling to process it. He was not just my coach, mentor or guide, but also a friend who understood me better than most people.” Rana’s death has left Indian shooting in mourning, with tributes pouring in for one of the sport’s most influential figures in India. For Manu, however, the loss is personal. “The shooting range will never feel the same again,” she said. “His voice, his advice, his presence – they were a part of my everyday life. It hurts to think that I won’t see him standing there again.” Their partnership transformed one of the toughest phases of Manu’s career into its finest. After the disappointment of the Tokyo Olympics, Rana helped her rediscover her …

India vs New Zealand: Harshit Rana’s ability with the bat gives hope of having genuine pace bowling all-rounder for World Cup in South Africa | Cricket News

India vs New Zealand: Harshit Rana’s ability with the bat gives hope of having genuine pace bowling all-rounder for World Cup in South Africa | Cricket News

As far-fetched as it may sound, India’s 1-2 series defeat to New Zealand did throw up one bright spot for the hosts. It came off the bat of pacer Harshit Rana, who has ignited hope that he could be developed into a fast-bowling all-rounder. That’s a coveted combination in international cricket, even more so considering that the 2027 ODI World Cup will be held in southern Africa. India’s 41-run defeat in Indore on Sunday resulted in their first bilateral ODI series loss at home to the Kiwis. That the visitors were fielding a veritable second-string team with several top players either rested or injured made it a bitter pill to swallow. But Shubman Gill, the team management and the selectors did find some good reasons to be optimistic. An on-song Virat Kohli, recording an elegant 54th ODI century while anchoring the run chase, was the chief reason for hope. He also guided Nitish Kumar Reddy to a maiden ODI half-century. Reddy is another medium pace all-rounder whose eight overs and nifty contribution with the bat …

Box Office: Pulkit Samrat’s Rahu Ketu opens with Rs 1 crore; Ashutosh Rana’s One Two Cha Cha Chaa washes out

Box Office: Pulkit Samrat’s Rahu Ketu opens with Rs 1 crore; Ashutosh Rana’s One Two Cha Cha Chaa washes out

A couple of comedy films were released in cinemas this weekend. However, none of them could make a mark on the opening day, mainly due to non-stars and low buzz among the audience. Here’s taking a look at the opening day box office performance of Rahu Ketu and One Two Cha Cha Chaa.  As per estimates, Rahu Ketu debuted with an opening in the vicinity of Rs. 1 crore to Rs. 1.25 crore net at the Indian box office. Starring the Fukrey duo, Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma in the lead roles, the movie looked like a timepass entertainer as per its promotional assets. However, those were not enough to ignite any sort of buzz, which is why the movie ended up registering a low opening day.  Directed by Vipul Vig, the comedy drama needs to show some strong trends ahead in order to put up a decent total by the end of its theatrical run.  Box office collection of Rahu Ketu in India:  DAY Box Office 1 Rs. 1 crore Total Rs. 1 crore …

Why Harshit Rana’s 29 matters for India’s ODI balance | Cricket News

Why Harshit Rana’s 29 matters for India’s ODI balance | Cricket News

At 242 for 5, with 59 runs still needed in 53 balls and the momentum drifting away towards the Black Caps, India found themselves in an unfamiliar position: slightly anxious, suddenly thin on finishing, and one wicket away from discomfort. New Zealand sensed it too, their body language sharpening as Harshit Rana walked out to bat in the first ODI at Vadodara. Rana was not meant to be here – not as a problem-solver in batting, not as a finisher. But with Washington Sundar injured and the chase slowing, India needed him to be more than a fast bowler with a bat. The steep Kyle Jamieson had cracked the game open by removing Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Shreyas Iyer in the space of two overs and left the match intriguingly poised. Rana’s first few balls were about survival. He was beaten outside off, defended with soft hands and resisted the urge to manufacture shots. Off the third ball of the 42nd over, Jamieson hit the channel hard and the ball flew over off stump, …

BJP ends alliance With Ravi Rana’s party in Amravati, claims support of his wife

Ahead of the Maharashtra local body elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and MLA Ravi Rana’s Yuva Swabhiman Party have parted ways ahead of the January 15 Amravati civic polls, bringing an end to their pre-poll alliance, reported the PTI.

Navneet Rana to continue BJP campaign Despite the split, Dhande clarified that Navneet Rana, former Lok Sabha MP and wife of Ravi Rana, will continue to campaign for BJP candidates during the civic polls.

Hockey Women’s Junior World Cup: Sakshi Rana’s solo strike the highlight in India’s 4-0 win against Ireland, but quarterfinal chances bleak | Hockey News

Hockey Women’s Junior World Cup: Sakshi Rana’s solo strike the highlight in India’s 4-0 win against Ireland, but quarterfinal chances bleak | Hockey News

Scorers: Purnima Yadav (42′,58′), Kanika Siwach (12’) and Sakshi Rana (57′) In India’s 4-0 win against Ireland at in their final Pool C match of the FIH Junior Women’s World Cup, the highlight was Sakshi Rana – who has already made her senior debut on the back of a impressive Hockey India League season – as she lifted the ball from the turf down the left channel, dribbled into the circle, cut in and unleashed a fine low strike. But the reaction after the goal was telling – there was barely a hint of celebration, despite the scoreline reading 3-0. Because, India know their chances of progressing to the quarterfinals are bleak despite winning two of the three matches in their group. India will have to wait for the rest of the day – or even longer – as the group-stage matches wind down, to see if they can sneak in as one of the two best second-placed teams but it appears unlikely. They did, however, complete their part of the equation at the Centro …

Sadagoppan Ramesh slams Harshit Rana’s in 2nd IND vs AUS T20I: ‘Someone who cooks well can’t be made a driver and a good driver can’t become the cook’ | Cricket News

Sadagoppan Ramesh slams Harshit Rana’s in 2nd IND vs AUS T20I: ‘Someone who cooks well can’t be made a driver and a good driver can’t become the cook’ | Cricket News

Former Indian cricketer Sadagoppan Ramesh has been critical of the Indian side after Harshit Rana has been promoted up the order in the number that Shivam Dube would have come in 2nd India vs Australia T20I. India were reduced to 49/5 after eight overs when Rana walked into the middle. Although Rana did produce a valuable innings of 35 from 33 balls, Dube, coming at eight, could not contribute much. “Someone who cooks well can’t be made a driver, and a good driver can’t become the cook. Likewise, the management should focus on each player’s strength and main role in the team and aim to get the best out of them in that role. If they do something extra, that’s well and good,” said Ramesh on his Instagram handle. “But their secondary skill should not become the primary role, and I fear that’s happening in this Indian team. A bowler who can bat needs to deliver with the ball first, and likewise, a batter who can bat must deliver with the ball first. The management …
