After a cricket ball claimed his sight, Nibin finds purpose in tennis

After a cricket ball claimed his sight, Nibin finds purpose in tennis

Published by Webster

The sound arrives first: a rattle, faint and metallic, skittering across a concrete slab that passes for a tennis court. Then the swing. Thereafter, and more often than not these days, the clean crack of a racquet finding a ball that Nibin Mathew has never once seen coming. Blind since he was in 11th grade, Nibin is now ranked fifth in the world on the official International Blind Tennis Association (IBTA) charts. In eleven days, the 29-year old is scheduled to fly to Vilnius, Lithuania, to compete in the 2026 World Blind Tennis Championships, a tournament that will decide, in part, whether India’s best-kept sporting secret gets to keep competing at all. He does not yet know if he can afford to go. Darkness and hope Nibin grew up in a village in Wayanad, Kerala, where cricket, not tennis, filled every courtyard and side street. At the age of nine, a cricket ball struck his already-weak left eye during practice and destroyed what vision remained in it. He kept playing with his right eye for …

Former actor Saira Banu Khan’s emotional social media post is making fans nostalgic. Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, she shared a carousel of her pictures with husband, late legendary actor Dilip Kumar. The day marked five years since the world lost a star. Saira Banu with Dilip Kumar. She wrote in the caption, “The most beautiful thing about life is that it never truly departs. It lingers in memories. And memories, unlike time, are faithful companions. They return unbidden, carrying every smile, every glance, every word, as though nothing has ever truly been lost. To remember someone is perhaps the purest proof that they have never been forgotten. I often believe that Sahib bestowed upon me a treasure beyond measure before he took leave of this earthly world: a treasury of memories so rich that I shall spend the remainder of my days living amongst them.” Stressing on the significance of the date, the 81-year-old continued, “On this day, the 7th of July, 2021, Dilip Kumar left not only me, but an entire world that …

No transition in sight as India back T20 World Cup core

No transition in sight as India back T20 World Cup core

Published by Webster

The first squad announcement after a disappointing ICC tournament usually offers clues about where a team is headed. Sometimes it marks the beginning of a rebuild. Sometimes it rewards domestic performers. Sometimes it signals that the next cycle has begun. India’s squad for the Asian Games in Japan does none of that. Barely two days after crashing out in the group stage of the Women’s T20 World Cup, the selectors have retained virtually the entire squad. The only change sees wicketkeeper G. Kamalini replace Yastika Bhatia, while Harmanpreet Kaur remains captain and Smriti Mandhana vice-captain. The message is clear: despite another underwhelming ICC campaign, the management continues to back the same core. There is nothing inherently wrong with that. Successful teams do not rip up their plans after every setback. Australia, for instance, have often resisted the temptation to make wholesale changes after a poor tournament because they trust proven players to respond. The difference is that Australia’s core has consistently repaid that faith. India have repeatedly flattered to deceive on the biggest stage. ALSO …

Inside the Oslo chess pub where Magnus Carlsen can hide in plain sight

Published by Webster

Occasionally on a Thursday, when he feels up for it, Magnus Carlsen waltzes into The Good Knight pub in Oslo for their fortnightly contests. He walks past the bar at the entrance, where a beer tap shaped like a knight and another one shaped like a rook welcome visitors. He walks past the stacks of chess books lined up on corners of the pub, and past the many black and white portraits of chess players deep in thought mounted on the walls. He takes his place on any of the 37 tables, each of which has a chessboard inscribed on it. Those Thursday evenings usually end with the world no 1 player winning the fortnightly competitions. Ordinarily, the world’s greatest chess player of the current era winning a game night at his local chess pub would not be news. But Carlsen’s Thursday jaunts are not to play chess. It’s the weekly trivia nights he’s made a habit of winning. “Magnus is a pretty clever guy, not just in chess. There are in fact no chess …

3 min readUpdated: May 1, 2026 09:25 PM IST Former Gujarat captain and batter Priyank Panchal said that Delhi Capitals’ Kyle Jamieson’s send off of prodigal Rajasthan Royals batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi did not make for a ‘pretty sight’, adding that it goes on to show how much of an impact the 15-year-old had made amongst his opponents. “31-year-old Kyle Jamieson giving a 15-year-old kid a send off after dismissing him. Does not make for a pretty sight. But also shows how much of an impact and fear Vaibhav has instilled amongst the opponents already,” Panchal posted on his X account. Sooryavanshi who has taken the league by storm since his debut last year, couldn’t fire in the DC match when he was cleaned up by a snorter by Jamieson for just 4 in the second over. After the dismissal, Jamieson celebrated by clapping and looking straight at Sooryavanshi giving him a sendoff. 31-year-old Kyle Jamieson giving a 15-year-old kid a send off after dismissing him.

Behind the scenes of Avinash Sable’s comeback: Asian Games in sight, 8:30 first target

Published by Webster

5 min readApr 25, 2026 07:00 AM IST Avinash Sable has jumped over hurdles and navigated water jumps expertly on track, but the stumbling blocks he encountered during recovery post an ACL and meniscus surgery have tested his resolve to make a comeback. At last year’s Monaco Diamond League, Sable, the Asian Champion, landed in a water pit with his leg apart to avoid landing on a competitor who had fallen. But in a split second, he took a bad tumble when the other athlete got back on his feet. Sable was left clutching his right knee in pain. Four years ago, Sable won a historic silver for India in the 3000M steeple chase in Birmingham to become the first Indian to medal in the event at the CWG. In a field comprising three Kenyans, Sable was breathing down the neck of gold-medal winner Abraham Kibiwot till the finish line. Nine months since the Monaco DL, Sable, who finds it difficult to land smoothly without pain after clearing a hurdle, has yet to book his …
