We've seen players like Vipraj Zeeshan and Sameer rise from it. A: It's not just the UPT20 League that helped them, their strong performances in the domestic season, in my view, were the real reason they got calls from IPL franchises. And they delivered well when the opportunity came. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Q: There's intense competition for a place in Team India. How are you preparing for a potential comeback? A: My preparation is the same as it was when I played for India in 2014–15. Whether I get to play or not, I want to give my best whenever the opportunity comes. I always focus on three things: performance, preparation, and process — because selection is not in my hands.

New Delhi [India], June 27 (ANI): The Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) stamped their authority at the 6th Junior (U-17) Boys and Girls National Boxing Championships, emerging as overall champions in both Boys and Girls categories. In a tournament that showcased India's promising next generation of boxing talent, Services reclaimed the team title in the Boys division and pulled off a decisive victory in the Girls category, toppling defending champions Haryana, who finished second across both. Backed by clinical performances across weight classes, the Services contingent wrapped up the week-long event at the National Boxing Academy in Rohtak with nine medals in each category. Their Boys squad tallied six golds, two silvers, and a bronze to reassert their dominance, while the Girls team delivered four golds, four silvers, and one bronze. Maharashtra completed the podium in the Boys championship, while Manipur finished third in the Girls division, said release. On the girls' side, several familiar names from India's recent success at the Asian U-15 & U-17 Championships delivered once again. Delhi's Ahaana Sharma continued her blazing form in the 50kg final with a clean sweep. Khushi Chand of Uttarakhand clinched a narrow 3-2 win in the 46kg division, while Haryana's Anshika reaffirmed her dominance in the 80+kg category.

Lakshay Balhara's 4-1 victory over Aman Siwach stood out, as did Haryana's Aditya, who edged past Tikam Singh in a closely contested 52kg final. SSCB's girls team was bolstered by sharp wins from Naitik (52kg), Chandrika Pujari (54kg), Harsika (60kg), and Hamoor Kaur (66kg), the latter scoring a third-round stoppage. Prachi Khatri's powerful RSC victory in the 80kg class, along with title wins by Himanshi (70kg) and Jiya (48kg), further highlighted the depth of India's emerging female talent.
