It was tough for gujarat, they were playing without their main bowlers like bumrah,axar,pandya. but luck was in our favour. Parthiv was brilliant today. He can replace saha for test team.
Indian boxer Dinko Sing fighting liver cancer. Unfortunately Sai gave 30000 and boxing federation assisted with only total sum of 95000 to him which is a meagre amt in such cases. He is selling his flat for his treatment. Extremely unfortunate. I do not understand why till date we do not have proper Medical Insurance for our sportspersons, atleast those who have represented India. What's going on is still bullshit.
Very misleading news. Dingko Singh is Indian Navy personnel. According to Indian Navy rules, all service personnel and their families, even ex-serviceman are eligible for free treatment at Indian military Hospitals. What SAI and Boxing Federation are giving to him is just something extra. Indian Navy or any Branch of Military never charges a single penny for treatment of their employees or ex-employees. He is at AIIMS Delhi which is a government hospital after being referred there from Military Hospital and whatever meagre bills of transplant at AIIMS are there will be reimbursed by Indian Navy.
India defeats New Zealand 4-1 in Davis Cup Tie at Pune. Next encounter will be home tie against Uzbekistan in April.
Sad to see that this was last time we see Anand Amritraj as non-playing captain. Leander Paes, Somdev, Bopanna are also gone now. Next gen is Ramnathan, Yuki Bhambri and Saketh Myneni. I am not sure about Doubles though.
Some politics and tensions also came up in post match talks on DD Sports as Ramnathan openly thanking Chidambaram faction -rivals to ruling Khanna Faction. Amritraj too displayed his displeasure in selection politics and giving too much consideration to Rankings.
Both Ramnathan and Yuki have wished to play the Tie at Grass Court against Uzbekistan. A big Thumbs Up to Pune crowd for their great support and lot of children in the stands. Whil;e Mr Sundar Iyer of local organising committee was stating that Pune will organise next Uzbekistan tie also, Indian players wish to hold it on Grass Court venue.
See how Central Government is ruining Indian Tennis.
1) Bureaucrat Ms Praveen Mahajan (Indian Revenue Service Officer) has been chosen as head of All India Tennis Association. According to Sports Ministry, her experience of working with Government in Central Board of Excise and Customs makes her a great candidate. What a Logic??
2) Veteran Anand Amritraj has been asked to leave from non-playing captain. Other senior players like Paes, Somdev are gone too. Other players should also leave one by one from this dictatorship.
3) A sports marketing company Zeven, which is also associated with RCB in IPL for Cricket is now managing and calling all the shots in Indian Tennis.
4) Players, coaches, non playing captain requested to hold upcoming India vs Uzbekistan tie at a warmer venue with Grass Court. Yet foolishly this marketing company is holding it on Hard Court at Bangalore 7th to 9th April. India always loses at Bangalore. Every sane country chooses venue according to their strength and opposition weakness. Bangalore climate, floodlights, Surface will suit Uzbekistan more then India. But our Association is concerned more about profit to Private Businessman then Victory for India.
5) All these people want is to finish International Tennis competitiveness of India. Their aim is to start some IPL of old unfit players where some private Businessman can make money. ISL model in every sport.
