Sajan Prakash finds new purpose under former rival Sandeep Sejwal

For years, two athletes from modest backgrounds in Delhi and Kerala set out to chase the same dream in different corners of Bengaluru. They left home young, battled financial struggles, endured exhausting training sessions and slowly carved out identities in a sport that rarely promised security. One became one of India’s finest breaststrokers and won an elusive Asian Games bronze medal in 2014. The other became the poster boy of Indian swimming and went on to represent the country at the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. But years after competing for the same Olympic spot, Sandeep Sejwal and Sajan Prakash are now on the same side of the lane. Supporting each other, not as rivals but as partners chasing one final dream.

I quit for almost 6 to 7 months and then went …

Even though he’s going to play against us, it’s one game. But if he plays well for the whole season, eventually he’s going to play for India. So how can I not help him? He might score against us tomorrow or the day after. It’s okay,” Kohli said during an appearance on the RCB Podcast. “Despite Jaiswal scoring, …
