@Bad I agree with you on the lack of skills in our younger generation of players. I have listened to a conversation with famous coach Ajay Kumar Bansal where he bemoaned the poor skills of junior players 1-2 years back. Poor coaches at Junior level are more responsible for this debacle. Victory in this world cup still will be a huge moment. Last time it was that famous team of Jugraj, Gagan, Prabhjot generation in 2001.
Vijender Singh beats Cheka to win the WBO Asia-Pacific title. File Pic
Internet Desk: The Vijender Singh juggernaut rolled on without a glitch as the Indian boxing star took less than 10 minutes to successfully defend his WBO Asia-Pacific Super Middleweight title with an emphatic Technical Knockout win over Tanzania’s Francis Cheka at New Delhi on Saturday.
Vijender landed the winning blow in the third round of what was to be a 10-round contest to leave on the former World Champion Cheka dazed and a packed Thyagraj Stadium delirious.
“I trained hard in Manchester for two months for this. I thank all my coaches for the effort they put in. Cheka talked so much but I believed in my punch power, and I have done it,” Vijender said after the bout.
Celebrities adorned the front rows surrounding the ring.
From five-time world champion M.C. Mary Kom to Minister of State for Home Affairs Kirren Rijiju to star wrestling duo of Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt, it was a power-packed front row to cheer for Vijender from ringside.
However, the man who stole the show among the front-row occupiers turned out to be celebrity yoga guru Baba Ramdev. He walked in with Sushil to a loud applause from the packed stadium and was instantly mobbed for selfies and handshakes by the crowd.
Interference by Indian Government will result in suspension of participation of India in world events of any sport. We are turning into a nation of IPLs.

2-1 doesn't do justice,it could have been 5 or 6 in my opinion for us.We outclassed Belgium.
4 of our 5 Penalty Corners were not stopped properly.
Every One played well.Now,we have to build this momementum for the Senior Team.World Cup 2018 and Olympics 2020 should be our target now.
NOW,we have the Right TEAM and Reserve's Bench Strength to deliver at World Stage at Senior Level.
