8 race horses linked to IPL-style league die in Jabalpur, allegedly due to malnutrition
Horse Power Sports League
(HPSL), which was being developed in Hyderabad, according to sources.
These horses were among nearly 100 trained by a company named
HithaNet India Pvt Ltd
. The HPSL was created by Hyderabad-based tech expert
Suresh Paladugu
, who wanted to make horse racing more entertaining, like the Indian Premier League (IPL), and less focused on betting.
Paladugu said to TOI he was only responsible for the league's technical and streaming support, not the care of the horses. He claimed he had no direct link to the deaths in Jabalpur. He added that the league's trial races were shown in different countries, including the Philippines.

Sources said the horses were moved to Jabalpur after the league was paused, as it failed to get big sponsors. Paladugu's idea was to show simple two-horse races to make the sport easier to follow and more popular, especially for local breeds.
A representative of HithaNet, Pavani Gaddam, said the horses were moved to Jabalpur because the company also has farming work there, and their lease with Hyderabad Racing Club had ended. She said the horses were healthy when moved and that all transport rules were followed.

Gaddam added that there's no plan yet to bring the horses back to Hyderabad. She also said the horses don't have to be used only for racing — they can be used for breeding, polo, movies, or even sold.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli Former England cricketer David Lloyd believes the absence of retired veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has impacted India's performance in the ongoing Test series against England, where India faces a potential 3-1 series loss despite dominating large portions of the matches. Lloyd's observations come as India enters the final day with a chance to level the series, while England remains in pursuit of the remaining runs needed for victory. Lloyd highlighted how India has struggled to capitalize on crucial moments throughout the series, suggesting the experience of Sharma and Kohli could have led to different outcomes. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "India have been very impressive over the series, but they haven't won the main moments. If Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli were playing, I think the outcome would have been different. Certain players sniff out the main moments and are proactive rather than reactive. Ben Stokes is fabulous at that. India will be scratching their heads thinking how on earth they could lose this 3-1," Lloyd wrote in his column. India vs England Day 5: Can India do the UNTHINKABLE at The Oval? Four wickets and 2-2! The rain interruption during the match proved beneficial for England, according to Lloyd, as it halted India's momentum after taking three quick wickets.
