NEW DELHI: A Jammu & Kashmiri cricket player with special needs will receive assistance from the Adani Foundation on his path to success. Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani stated that cricket player Amir Hussain Lone's "struggle is an inspiration for all of us" in a post on X, the previous Twitter. Lone, 34, is the para-cricket team captain for the Union Territory. He was introduced to para-cricket in 2013 by a teacher who saw his potential and helped him develop his distinctive playing technique.It's incredible how moving Amir's story is. We applaud your bravery, commitment to the game, and perseverance in the face of adversity. Adani Foundation will be in touch with you shortly and will help you in any way possible during this extraordinary journey. Adani wrote in the post, "Your struggle is an inspiration for all of us. When Lone was eight years old, an accident in his father's mill cost him both of his arms. He uses his feet to bowl and his neck to hold the bat while batting. "I worked hard and didn't give up after the accident. I am independent and capable of handling everything on my own. My family was there for me no matter what, even when the government didn't help me," Lone told the news agency. He described how it startled everyone to watch him perform without using his hands. In 2013 I participated in a national team game in Delhi, and in 2018 I participated in an international match against Bangladesh. I then performed in Dubai, Sharjah, and Nepal. When I started playing with my legs (bowling) and batting with my neck and shoulder, everyone was startled. "I give thanks to God that I have the stamina to play cricket," Lone exclaimed. He added that Pickle Entertainment was making a movie on him. "The release date for the movie Pickle Entertainment is producing about me will be revealed soon. I attended a show that also included Vicky Kaushal. The cricket player remarked, "They stated they will create a film on me after being amazed by my journey.His favourite players, along with those of his team, are Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar. "Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are our favourite players, and if God wishes, we will meet them soon," he stated. The Adani Foundation, the Adani Group's community involvement division, has been steadfastly devoted to making calculated social investments for long-term results across India since 1996. The Foundation has worked in the main fields of health, education, skill development, sustainable livelihood, and community infrastructure.

NEW DELHI, Jan 3: Hundreds of junior wrestlers gathered at Jantar Mantar in this city on Wednesday to voice their protest against the loss of a pivotal year in their careers, which they attributed to the actions of top grapplers Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, and Vinesh Phogat. This development added a new dimension to the ongoing crisis in Indian wrestling. The junior wrestlers surprised the police by arriving from various parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Delhi, loaded into buses. Many of them were from the Virender Wrestling Academy in Narela, and nearly 300 of them were from the Arya Samaj Akhara in Chhaprauli, Baghpat. Many are still crammed into buses, and when more wrestlers show up at the historic protest site, they intend to get off and join their comrades.As they chanted anti-Punia, anti-Malik, and anti-Phogat slogans, the security guards found it difficult to keep them under control. The slogan "UWW save our wrestling from these 3 wrestlers" was flown by the demonstrators. Strangely, the top three wrestlers at the same protest location nearly a year ago were able to mobilise a sizable crowd in support of their cause when they demanded the arrest of former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on charges of harassing women wrestlers sexually. Thousands of supporters of Malik, Phogat, and Punia turned out from a variety of social groups, including farmers' organisations, social workers, politicians, women's organisations, and wrestling fraternity members.The three are currently the target of demonstrations from members of their community who have gathered at Jantar Mantar, claiming that they have ruined their careers. National teams and tournaments have not taken place since January 2023 because the WFI has been suspended twice and the sport is now governed by an ad hoc panel. Protesters on Wednesday called for the reinstatement of the suspended WFI following the dissolution of the ad hoc panel that the sports ministry had designated to oversee the sport.

NEW DELHI: Pro wrestler Vinesh Phogat gave back her Arjuna Award and Khel Ratna on Saturday, leaving them at Kartavya Path in New Delhi, as she was stopped by the police from going to the Prime Minister's office. The gold medallist from the Asian Games had declared earlier in the week that she was returning her medals, claiming that they were no longer meaningful in light of the current struggles wrestlers are facing for justice. This decision was communicated by Phogat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a letter. She left the awards at Kartavya Path, where Delhi Police later collected them, after the police prevented her from delivering the awards in person to the Prime Minister's office on Saturday.She was protesting the current situation in the wrestling community with this act. While she won the Arjuna Award in 2016, Vinesh was awarded the Khel Ratna, India's highest sports honour, in 2020. In opposition to the election of Sanjay Singh, a close associate of former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh who had been accused of sexual harassment by well-known grapplers, Phogat, along with fellow Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia, had voiced their concerns. Early this year, the grapplers staged a protracted protest at Jantar Mantar. A Delhi court is handling the case. Sakshi Malik had even declared her retirement from the world of professional wrestling shortly after Sanjay Singh became the WFI Chief. Later, the newly-elected panel was suspended by the Sports Ministry for making decisions that did not follow the guidelines set forth in its own constitution. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) was then directed to establish an ad hoc committee to manage the wrestling organization's operations. In her letter, Phogat highlighted the differences between their actual lives and the glitzy depictions in "fancy government advertisements" that talk about women's empowerment on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).In response to a directive from the Sports Ministry, the IOA on Wednesday formed an ad hoc committee consisting of three members to oversee the daily functions of the Wrestling Federation of India. The two-time World Championship medallist Phogat emphasised in her letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that she no longer felt any connection to the Khel Ratna and Arjuna awards.

NEW DELHI, Dec 22: Olympic wrestler Bajrang Punia made the decision on Friday to return the Padma Shri award in protest of Sanjay Singh's (a supporter of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh) election to the presidency of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). "I'm giving the Prime Minister my Padmashree back. This letter is all I have to say. This is my statement," the bronze-winning wrestler from the Tokyo Olympics wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. On Thursday, Sanjay was chosen as the WFI president, with the panel headed by Brij Bhushan's close aide taking 13 of the 15 positions.Following Sanjay's election, Sakshi Malik, Bajrang, and Vinesh Phogat spoke at a press conference where Sakshi—who won a bronze medal in Rio in 2016—announced her decision to resign from the sport in protest. "Dear PM Ji, hope your health is well," Bajrang wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I know you have a lot on your plate, but I wanted to take a moment to write to you about the wrestlers in our nation.You must be aware that the nation's female wrestlers began a protest against Brij Bhushan Singh in January of this year, claiming that he had harassed them sexually. I joined them in protest as well. After the government promised tough action, the protest ended.The well-known wrestler continued, "But even after three months, there was no FIR against Brij Bhushan," expressing his disappointment. In April, we protested on the streets once more to force the police to at least register a formal complaint against him.By April, there were only 7 complainants remaining from the 19 in January. Therefore, it can be said that Brij Bhushan influenced twelve female wrestlers. When Bajrang attempted to travel to the Parliament to meet with PM Modi and deliver his letter of protest against Sanjay Singh's election, he was stopped by Delhi Police officials at the Kartavya Path."No, I don't have authorization. I am unable to enter, so if you could please forward this letter to the PMs. When Delhi Police officers stopped Bajrang, he said, "I'm not being aggressive or protesting.

Dec-19 : The incredibly talented Rishabh Pant aspires to be fully match-fit in the coming months and maintain his schedule for the eagerly awaited return to competitive cricket in the Indian Premier League the following year. Pant, who narrowly avoided death in a terrifying vehicle accident last year, missed all of 2023 due to surgery. He is overwhelmed by the support and love from his fans, which enabled him to heal more quickly than anyone had anticipated. "I believe that my current state of well-being surpasses that of a few months ago. In other words, I'm still working my way back to 100% fitness. However, I think I'll be able to do it in a few months," Pant said with optimism in a video that the Delhi Capitals uploaded to their Instagram page.The captain of the Delhi Capitals, who will be in attendance at this mini auction along with Team Director Sourav Ganguly and head coach Ricky Ponting, came dangerously close to death in December of last year when his car crashed into a divider on the National Highway heading towards Rourkee and caught fire. The 26-year-old is undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru after suffering several injuries. He is anticipated to return to action, though, when the Indian Premier League begins on March 22. Pant felt that he was realising for the first time how much the fans' love and concern touched him. "I think it's been really amazing because we always feel like nobody loves us because there is pressure on so many fronts when we play cricket. Well, it is a difficult time. But at least now I know that people adore us. They respect us, and from what I've observed over time as a result of my injury, people have shown appreciation and concern," Pant remarked. "I think it was heartfelt, like crazy for me because it means a lot as an individual." Pant claimed that people's love and support had contributed to his incredible recovery. When you are going through a difficult period or something similar occurs to you.It affects the mind as well as the body, so having loved ones and supporters means a lot and is extremely helpful in the healing process." Last season, David Warner, the opener for Australia, led DC in lieu of Pant and the team finished second from last. "I appreciate your unwavering support at all times. Yes, I am aware that as fans we have occasionally treated you poorly."However, as you can see, we always strive to give it our all. Hopefully, in the future, we will be able to return the favour and continue to support you in the same manner that you have shown us over time.
