VIDEO | Indian pistol shooter Esha Singh says the disappointment of missing out at the Olympics has played a key role in shaping her into a mentally stronger athlete, a transformation she believes is behind one of the best phases of her career.
The 21-year-old Hyderabad shooter capped a memorable ISSF World Cup campaign in Munich with a gold medal and world record in the women's 25m pistol before adding a silver in the women's 10m air pistol, helping India climb to the top of the medal standings.
"I had a lot of pressure, obviously, because you don't really know until the last shot what is going to happen. So I can say that I fought till the very last moment. And yeah, I didn't let loose or become overconfident, thinking that I had already secured the medals and that I was good. Nothing like that. I wanted to give my absolute best on that day, and that's what was going on in my head," Esha said.

The future of Indian shooting shines brighter than ever. 👏🎯

On our way to Hubli to cheer the J&K cricket team as they play the final of the Ranji Trophy. They’ve already made lakhs of people so very proud of their achievements by reaching the final. I’m really looking forward to spending the day tomorrow in the stands cheering them on.
Watching this Ranji Trophy campaign and following it closely , one thing I can say for certain
For all the young boys and girls out there playing this sport and wanting to represent the country,
Do it the AQUIB NABI way
Can't think of any pacer/player in a long time doing what he's done
Domination from start to end and almost single handedly winning the domestic tournament that matters the most to get into the national side
Fitness across the whole campaign , bowling those longgg spells and across different soils , weather conditions and whether there's been any help for a pacer or not , he's been there for his team with the belief every time he's had the ball to STRIKE for his team .
Hats off to you AQUIB , you're an absolute champion and hope you get a lot of success that come your way and may you be the lesson on
" How it's done to break the doors through sheer will power , skill and resilience "
⭐⭐⭐

Ishan Kishan was not even in scheme of things for India's T20I setup as Ajit Agarkar sidelined him from all 3 formats, ignoring all his performances.
Thanks to RP Singh & Pragyan Ojha, who personally went to watch Ishan Kishan's batting in SMAT & directly selected him for world cup after long 3 years❤️
We need a Test bowler who can bowl 20 - 30 overs! Siraj will do it.
We need an ODI bowler who can bowl 140+ consistently! Siraj will do it.
Bumrah and Harshit are injured. How will our fast bowling survive? Siraj will save us.
We have never celebrated Mohd Siraj the way he deserves.
This post is A BIG thank you to ALL my family, friends and so many other people who have reached out to me!
On the 27th of December 2025 my life was taken out of my hands…when meningitis took over my brain, & unbeknownst to me I was placed into a paralysed coma for 8 days to help me fight this awful disease. And that I did! Fight that is!….
After being given a 50/50 chance of surviving, I came out of the induced coma 8 days later…not able to walk or talk. And yet 4 days after that, with the doctors in disbelief, I walked, I talked and proved to them all why I should be released from hospital to start my recovery.
So happy to be home, to be able to put my feet in the sand on the beach and to start thanking all those people that reached out to me and my family in their unwaivering support.
This experience has reminded me of how fragile life is, how quickly everything can change & how precious time is!
There are so many wonderful people in this world … from paramedics (at Mermaid Waters Ambulance), doctors & nurses (at Gold Coast University Hospital) … to family, friends and people I didn’t even know. I feel like I met all these fantastic people in the past 3 weeks, or they reached out to me through messages of love and support.
I am so grateful to you all.
Thank you! 🙏
Bring on 2026 …I’m back! 💫
There was a time Mohammed Siraj use to be number 1 ODI Ranking bowler in 2022-23. If given regular run i have no doubt he can go to the top again. Good spell today.
Never believed 4 spinners are required even on rank turners .
Specialist players ln specialist position should be the case in test cricket.
All rounders are fancy. White ball suits them.
Samvatsari is a reminder of the beauty of forgiving and the power of compassion. It inspires people to nurture bonds with sincerity. As we mark this sacred occasion, may our hearts be filled with humility and our actions reflect kindness as well as goodwill. Michhami Dukkadam!
For his relentless bowling display and scalping nine wickets, Mohd. Siraj bags the Player of the Match award in the 5th Test 👏👏
