Former Pakistan cricket captain Younis Khan ne star batter Babar Azam aur senior players per sharp criticism kiya, unhe self-promotion per zyada focus karne ka ilzam lagaya, jo team ke success ko affect kar raha hai. Younis, ne Pakistan ki recent performances ko highlight kiya aur Babar ke leadership aur batting form per sawal uthaye.

Younis ne apne statement mein kaha, “Agar Babar aur baaki top players field per deliver karein, toh results sabko clearly nazar aayenge. Humare players khelte kam aur bolte zyada hain.” Younis kaafi disappointed the team ke recent losses ko lekar aur unhone players ko apne on-field contributions per zyada focus karne ki salah di. Babar Azam per pressure hai, as he hasn’t scored a half-century in his last 16 Test innings, jo ki fans aur former cricketers ke liye concern ka topic bana huva hai.

Younis ne Indian batting legend Virat Kohli ke saath Babar ki comparison ki, aur bataya kaise Kohli ne captaincy se voluntarily step down kiya taaki apni form par dhyan de sake, jo unhe globally records todne mein help kiya. “Dekho Virat Kohli ko, usne khud apni captaincy chhodi aur ab wo duniya bhar ke records tod raha hai. Desh ke liye khelna pehla priority hona chahiye,” Younis ne Babar ko encourage karte hue kaha.

Younis ne emphasize kiya ke Babar Azam ko apni fitness,

performance aur leadership per focus karna hoga, kyunki captaincy jaisi opportunities baar baar nahi aati. Unhone players ko social media par zyada mindful hone ki advice di, aur kaha ke unki on-field performance unka asli jawab hona chahiye.

Jab captaincy changes ke rumors ne zyada traction liya, Pakistan cricket board ko advise kiya gaya hai by white and red-ball coaches Gary Kirsten aur Jason Gillespie ke hasty decisions avoid karein. Babar Azam aur Test captain Shan Masood ki removal ki rumors ko PCB insiders ne “kite flying” kehkar dismiss kar diya.

Hero Asian Champions Trophy 2024 ke ek romanchak match mein, India ne Pakistan ko 2-1 se hara kar jeet hasil ki. Dono teams ke beech ki intense rivalry ne fans ko pura waqt seat edge per rakha.

Defending champions India ne match ke liye confident entry ki thi, pehle ke 4 matches China, Japan, Malaysia, aur Korea ke against jeet kar. Harmanpreet Singh ke experienced leadership mein, Indian team ne apni unbeaten streak ko maintain kiya aur round-robin stage mein top position secure ki.

Yeh India ki lagatar 5th jeet thi 6-team round-robin competition mein.

Match Highlights:

Pakistan ne pehle lead li Ahmad Nadeem ke 8th minute goal se, lekin Harmanpreet (13th, 19th) ne do penalty corners ko convert kar India ko jeet dilayi. Yeh Pakistan ka tournament mein pehla loss tha.

Is match se pehle, dono teams semi-finals ke liye qualify kar chuki thi. 2016 ke baad se India ne Pakistan ke against apni dominance ko continue rakha. Last year Hangzhou Asian Games mein, India ne Pakistan ko 10-2 se hara diya tha, aur Chennai edition of ACT mein bhi 4-0 se jeeta tha.

Asia Cup Jakarta 2022 mein, relatively young Indian side ne Pakistan ko 1-1 draw pe roka, aur 2021 ACT Dhaka mein, India ne Pakistan ko 4-3 se bronze medal jeetne ke liye haraya tha.

Match Progress:

Match ke start se India aggressive thi, lekin jaise-jaise match aage badha, Pakistan ka confidence bhi badhne laga. Pakistan ne 8th minute mein Hannan Shahid ke brilliant midfield play ke through pehla goal kiya, jisme Ahmad Nadeem ne final touch diya.

India ko jab pehli penalty corner mili 13th minute mein, skipper Harmanpreet ne powerful drag-flick ke through score kiya. 19th minute mein doosri penalty corner ko bhi convert karke Harmanpreet ne India ko 2-1 lead di.

Second quarter mein, India possession mein better thi, lekin Pakistan bhi kuch strong attacks karne mein safal raha. Halftime ke kuch seconds pehle, Pakistan ne ek penalty corner miss ki jab Sufyan Khan ka flick bar pe hit hua.

Final Quarter:

Halftime ke baad, India ne possession maintain rakha aur 37th minute mein ek aur penalty corner secure ki, lekin Pakistan ne brave defence dikhayi. Pakistan ko 4 consecutive penalty corners mile, lekin Indian defence unhe rokne mein kaamyab rahi.

Last quarter mein dono teams ne aggressive attacks kiye, lekin India ne apne 3 aur penalty corners convert nahi kiye. Match ke dauran Harmanpreet aur Pakistan ke Ashraf Waheed Rana ke beech ek heated confrontation bhi hua, jab Jugraj Singh par shoulder charge kiya gaya. Jugraj ko impact se pain mein dekha gaya, aur umpire ne Rana ko yellow card diya, jisse uska 10-minute suspension hua.

India ke is jeet se na sirf unhone semi-finals mein apni jagah pakki ki, balki tournament mein apne impressive run ko continue kiya. Malaysia aur Korea ke pehle match mein 3-3 draw raha.

Next match mein Japan aur China ke beech takraav hoga, jo 3:30 PM IST par khela jayega. Dono teams apne standings ko improve karne ke liye win secure karna chahti hain.

Jay Shah ka agle ICC Chairman banne ka faisla lagbhag pakka hai, lekin BCCI ke liye Shah ke successor ka Election abhi tak clear nahi hai. Shah ko 96 ghanton ke andar decide karna hoga ki kya woh naye role ko accept karna chahenge, jabki unke paas BCCI Secretary ke roop mein apne doosre consecutive term ke liye ek saal bacha hai.

Naya ICC Chairman 1 December ko apna kaam sambhal lega, aur nominations ki deadline 27 August hai. Shah ke October 2025 mein apna term complete karne ke baad, unhe BCCI mein wapas aane ke liye teen saal ka cooling-off period follow karna padega.

Abhi tak, yeh clear nahi hai ki Jay Shah ki jagah

BCCI Secretary ke roop mein kaun aayega. Shah ya unke kareebiyon ne abhi tak koi immediate plans disclose nahi kiye hain.

Possible Candidates:

• Rajiv Shukla: BCCI current vice-president Shukla, jo Congress MP hain, ko ek saal ke liye secretary banane ka vikalp consider kiya ja sakta hai. Shukla, jo zyada tar ceremonial roles mein hain, is position ko accept karne ke liye open ho sakte hain.
• Ashish Shelar: Maharashtra BJP ke heavyweight Shelar, jo BCCI Treasurer hain, ek strong candidate hain. Secretary role ka demanding nature ke bawajood, unki political influence unhe ek accha choice banati hai.
• Arun Dhumal: IPL Chairman Dhumal, jinke paas BCCI Treasurer ke roop mein extensive experience hai aur ab ek lucrative league ke head hain, Shukla ke sath role swap kar sakte hain. Lekin, BCCI aksar surprising appointments kar sakti hai.
• Devajit ‘Lon’ Saikia: Current joint secretary Saikia, jo itne zyada popular nahi hain lekin BCCI administration mein crucial role play karte hain, bhi promote ho sakte hain.

Young administrators ke beech DDCA President Rohan Jaitley, former CAB President Avishek Dalmiya, aur other state officials jaise Punjab ke Dilsher Khanna, Goa ke Vipul Phadke, aur Chhattisgarh ke Prabhtej Bhatia ke naam bhi discussion mein aa sakte hain.

BCCI ke power structure mein aam tor par experience ko value kiya jata hai, isliye naye faces ko establish figures ke bypass karna rare hota hai. Lekin, final decision Shah ke ICC role ko abhi ya baad mein accept karne per depend karega.

Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ne Vinesh Phogat ki Paris Olympics mein disqualification ke khilaf dakhil ki gayi petition ko Wednesday ko rad kar diya. CAS ne shaam ko ek bayan jari kiya: “Vinesh Phogat dvara 7 August 2024 ko dakhil ki gayi application rad kar di gayi hai.” Yeh pehlwaan final bout se kuch ghante pehle disqualify ki gayi thi, jab uska match USA ki Sarah Hildebrandt ke saath tha, jo baad mein women’s 50kg freestyle wrestling mein gold medal jeet gayi.

Vinesh Phogat

ko kam se kam silver milne ki guarantee thi, aur woh Olympics mein final tak pahunchnay wali pehli Indian female grappler bhi bani. Lekin, sports mein kuch bhi pehle se nahi kaha ja sakta, aur Vinesh ko gold medal bout ke din subah 100gm weight cut meet na karne ke wajah se disqualify kar diya gaya. CAS ne Friday ko is mamle pe bayan diya aur spasht kiya ki jab wrestler ko second weigh-in ki ijazat nahi di gayi, ya usse gold medal bout mein wapas nahi liya gaya, unhone joint silver ke liye uski appeal sunne ke liye razamand kar diya.

Vinesh ne joint silver ki darkhwast is adhaar par ki thi ki usne initial weigh-in pass kiya tha aur final tak fair aur square pahunchi thi, jisne reigning champion Japan ki Yui Susaki ko opening bout mein hara diya tha. Vinesh ne Tuesday raat ko 2 kilogram zyada paayi gayi, jo pehle teen bouts ke baad tha, aur rigorous routine ke bawajood usne extra kilos ko kam nahi kiya.

Vinesh ne CAS mein appeal ki thi lekin uske favor mein ruling hone ke chances kam the. Paris se disqualification ke baad, Vinesh ne Thursday ko apne retirement ki announcement ki. “Wrestling ne mujhe hara diya, main haar gayi… mera hosla toot gaya hai, ab aur taqat nahi rahi. Goodbye Wrestling 2001-2024,” usne ‘X’ par likha.

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh ne kaha hai ki Indian superstar Neeraj Chopra aur Pakistani javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem ke beech ki dosti dikhati hai ki sports borders se paray hai aur logon ko ek karta hai. Thursday ko, Paris mein Nadeem ne gold medal jeeta Olympic record throw ke saath, jo tha 92.97m, jabki defending champion Chopra ne silver medal jeeta apne season-best 89.45m throw ke saath.

Harbhajan Singh ne Neeraj aur Arshad ki Dosti ko Saraha

Harbhajan ne kaha, “Humne kuch acchi tasveeren dekhi jahan Neeraj aur Nadeem ceremony ke baad ek doosre se baat kar rahe the, dono apne flags pakde hue aur ek doosre ki izzat karte hue. Yeh dikhata hai ki sports boundaries ke par hai aur sabko ek karta hai, yeh dono ke zariye diya gaya ek bohot accha message hai.”

Harbhajan ne apne khel ke daur ke baare mein bhi baat ki jab India-Pakistan ke matches hote the. “Jab hum Pakistan ke khilaf cricket khelte the, field par competition hoti thi, lekin field ke bahar humari acchi bonding hoti thi,” 44 saal ke off-spinner ne kaha, jo ab Rajya Sabha MP bhi hain.

Chopra ke Paris mein javelin final ke baad, Harbhajan ne Neeraj ki maa ke ek statement ka bhi zikr kiya. “Neeraj ki maa ne ek bohot accha statement diya, unhone kaha ki gold winner (Nadeem) bhi kisi maa ka beta hai aur wo bhi hamare apne bete jaisa hi hai. Aise statements dekhna accha lagta hai aur ye dikhata hai ki sports boundaries se par hai.”

Harbhajan ne dono athletes ko congratulate kiya aur Neeraj ko apne desh ka hero aur pride kaha. “Jo Neeraj ne kiya, wo hum sab ke liye bohot badi baat hai, desh ka flag uncha rakhna sabse badi priority hai. Ek athlete hone ke naate, main samajh sakta hoon ki aap hamesha top par finish karna chahte ho, lekin sports mein aapko apna best dena hota hai, aur Neeraj ne apna best diya, chahe wo gold na jeet paye ho.”

Harbhajan ne Neeraj ke young generation ke liye inspiration hone ki baat bhi ki. “Unhone bohot se dil jeete hai aur unhone naye generation ko inspire kiya hai. India ke liye back-to-back medals jeetne ke liye unko congratulations.”

Harbhajan ne wrestler Vinesh Phogat ke disqualification par apna disappointment bhi express kiya, jo unke 50kg gold-medal bout se sirf 100gm overweight hone ki wajah se hua. Unhone kaha, “Yeh dekhna bohot disappointing aur dukhad hai ki Vinesh final nahi khel paayi sirf 100gm overweight hone ki wajah se. Olympics ke rules sabke liye hote hain, lekin ek athlete ke liye yeh period bohot mushkil hota hai.”

Harbhajan ne Vinesh ko support karte hue kaha ki wo desh ka pride hai, aur chahe gold medal na jeet paayi ho, wo hamari gold medalist hai.

Harbhajan ne ye bhi kaha ki Vinesh ke team ne bohot mehnat ki situation ko theek karne ke liye, lekin unfortunately wo nahi ho paya.
