Dhoni seeks trademark for sobriquet 'Captain Cool'
New Delhi: Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has filed a trademark application for the phrase 'CAPTAIN COOL', a sobriquet widely associated with his calm on-field demeanour. According to the Trade Marks Registry portal, the application's status is 'accepted and advertised'. It was published in the official trademark journal on June 16. The application was filed on June 5. The proposed trademark is registered under the category for sports training, providing sports training facilities, sports coaching and services. No comments could immediately be obtained from Dhoni. Interestingly, another company, Prabha Skill Sports (OPC) Pvt Ltd, had earlier filed a similar application for the phrase. However, that application's status is showing as 'rectification filed'. Earlier this month, Dhoni was inducted into the ICC's Hall of Fame for the year 2025 along with seven cricketers, including Australian great Matthew Hayden and South Africa's Hashim Amla. The ICC hailed Dhoni as a player who excelled not just in numbers but also in "extraordinary consistency, fitness and longevity". "Celebrated for his calm under pressure and unmatched tactical nous, but also a trailblazer in the shorter formats, MS Dhoni's legacy as one of the game's greatest finishers, leaders and wicketkeepers has been honoured with his induction into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame," the ICC statement had said.

"Just wanted to play well, didn't expect the final": India's Tanvi Sharma reflects on US Open journey
By Shaurya Dutt Iowa [US], July 1 (ANI): Indian shuttler Tanvi Sharma said she 'didn't expect to play in the finals' after finishing as the runner-up in the US Open 2025 badminton tournament held in Council Bluffs, Iowa. In the women's singles category, 16-year-old Tanvi surprised everyone with a strong performance throughout the tournament. She defeated players ranked World No. 23, 40, 50, and 58 to reach the final, according to a release from the Badminton Association of India (BAI). Although she lost to top seed Beiwen Zhang of the USA in a hard-fought match (21-11, 16-21, 21-10), Tanvi made history by becoming the youngest Indian to reach a BWF World Tour final. Speaking to ANI about her performance, Tanvi said, 'It was a good tournament for me. I didn't expect to play in the finals. Because my starting round was 32, the first round itself was a tough match. I just expected to give my best. Whatever I was doing, I wanted to play well. I managed to win.' She also talked about her earlier matches, where she beat Vietnam's T.L. Nguyen (21-19, 21-9) in the Round of 32, Thailand's Opatniputh Pitchamon (21-18, 21-16) in the Round of 16, and Malaysia's L. Karupathevan (21-13, 21-16) in the quarterfinals. 'First round with the Vietnam girl. She was very experienced. In the second round, I played with Opatniputh Pitchamon. She was a former world junior champion. She was also very experienced. I managed to win. In the quarterfinals, I played with a Malaysian girl. She was also very good. I played my best and I won,' she said. Tanvi said her toughest matches were the first two rounds. 'I think the toughest match was the first (Round of 32) and second round (Round of 16). I thought both were tough because both were top-class players. I got a good experience by playing here. I just want to gain this experience. I want to play like this in the next tournaments,' she added. Looking ahead, Tanvi said she is preparing for the Asian Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships, both of which will be held in India. She also hopes to take part in higher-level tournaments in the future. 'I am playing the Asian Junior Championships next month. After that, there is the World Junior Championships. Both of these tournaments are in India. I will try to do well in that. I want to play well in the Super 300 and 500,' she concluded. (ANI)

Don't pay too much attention to these one-two rating points: Praggnanandhaa after becoming India's highest-ranked chess player
By Shaurya Dutt Zagreb [Croatia], July 1 (ANI): Indian chess grandmaster Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa has become the country's highest-ranked player after winning the UzChess Cup Masters in Croatia. However, the 19-year-old said he is not overly focused on the rating points and prefers to take one tournament at a time. Praggnanandhaa defeated home favourite Nodirbek Abdusattorov with Black pieces on the final day of the tournament. With this win, his live rating rose to 2778.3, pushing him ahead of the reigning world champion D Gukesh (2776.6) and Arjun Erigaisi (2775.7). Before this, Erigaisi had been the top-ranked Indian but dropped to sixth place after drawing his game with fellow Indian Aravindh Chithambaram. In the world rankings, Praggnanandhaa now holds the fourth spot. He is just behind Magnus Carlsen (2839.2), Hikaru Nakamura (2807.0), and Fabiano Caruana (2784.2), and ahead of Gukesh, who is ranked fifth. Speaking to ANI about becoming India's top-ranked player, Praggnanandhaa said, 'I became India's number one because of one point. So I don't think it really matters. These one or two points can go either way in one game. I don't think I'll pay attention to that so much. For me, more than that, the tournament that I just won was much more special. I mean, like for me, I take a tournament at a time. I don't pay too much attention to the like these one or two rating points that change.' Praggnanandhaa also received praise from World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen and World No. 2 Hikaru Nakamura after being picked by Team Liquid for the upcoming Esports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Reacting to their compliments, he said, 'It feels good, but I don't think it will impact me in any way. I'll try to do what I'm doing, but yeah, it's good to see such comments. It inspires me to do better and gives me confidence.' He also acknowledged the support he has received from Adani Sportsline, a partnership that has helped him grow over the past year. 'I've been supported by Adani group from last one year. As chess players, we need to travel a lot and also train a lot, and these things can be pretty expensive because I trained for the Candidates last year. We needed to have a team and then have in-person camps. That's where Adani Group's support was invaluable. They were supporting me even when I was not playing well. They were there supporting me through my loss. Such support makes you push yourself harder. I'm genuinely grateful to Adani Group for their support. It's great to see such corporations coming into the game. It's overall a good thing for the game,' he concluded. (ANI)
