Assam's third ‘high-performance sports training & rehabilitation centre' opens in Kokrajhar
The facilities at the centre include high-performance sports training, injury management with advanced robotic rehabilitation, physiological and biomechanical assessment, nutritional and physiological assessment and support, and recovery services, an official release said. The project is a joint initiative of the Department of Sports and Youth Welfare, Abhinav Futuristic Private Ltd, Oil India Ltd and Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. Kokrajhar (Assam), Jul 15 (PTI) A 'high-performance sports training and rehabilitation centre', the third of its kind in Assam in collaboration with Olympian Abhinav Bindra and others, was inaugurated by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma in Kokrajhar on Tuesday. Speaking on the occasion, Sarma said the centre has been designed to prove itself to be a boon for the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), which has many sporting talents. Assam has now become the first state to have three high-performance sports training and rehabilitation centres, with the other two in Guwahati and Jorhat, the release stated. Emphasising that there is no dearth of sporting talents in the state, Sarma said around 73 lakh sportspersons participated in various disciplines in 'Khel Maharan' competitions. Due to lack of proper exposure, some of the players do not get the opportunity to showcase their skills at the national and global level. These centres will together give a much-needed fillip to the sports talents to raise their performance level, the chief minister said. Sarma said his government is working to create sports infrastructure across the state along with hostel facilities in the training centres for the players. Sarma also said a Rs 125-crore football stadium will come up at Kokrajhar. He said the Assam government is considering opening rehabilitation centres in medical college and hospitals, too, in the next two to three years.

4 Players CSK Might Release Before IPL 2026 Auction: Ravichandran Ashwin, Devon Conway And...
photoDetails english 2932370 Updated:Jul 15, 2025, 10:44 PM IST 1. Ravichandran Ashwin 1 / 8 Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was bought for a hefty sum of Rs 9.75 Cr by the Chennai Super Kings during the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. Ashwin was CSK's second-most expensive buy at the IPL 2025 mega auction but he failed to deliver as per the expectations. The 37-year-old played nine matches for CSK in IPL 2025 and picked only 7 wickets. He was also left out of the CSK playing 11 on a few occasions. Ravichandran Ashwin's IPL Record 2 / 8 Ravichandran Ashwin, who is one of India's greatest off-spinners, has picked 187 wickets and scored 833 runs in 221 matches of his IPL career so far. 2. Rahul Tripathi 3 / 8 Rahul Tripathi was picked up by CSK for Rs 3.40 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. He was tried at multiple positions but he failed to deliver with the bat. In five matches of IPL 2025, Tripathi scored just 55 runs with an ordinary average of 11.00 and strike rate of 96.49 and was eventually dropped from CSK's playing XI. Given his ordinary performance, CSK may opt to release him before the IPL 2026 auction to explore more reliable batters for the next season. Rahul Tripathi's IPL Record 4 / 8 Rahul Tripathi, who is known for his innovative strokeplay, has scored 2291 runs in 100 matches with an average of 26.33 and strike rate of 137.85 in his IPL career so far. 3. Devon Conway 5 / 8 In the IPL 2025 mega Auction, the Chennai Super Kings picked star opener Devon Conway for Rs 6.25 crore. However, CSK preferred Rachin Ravindra over Conway for the first half of IPL. When Conway got his chances, he wasn't able to perform upto the expectations, scoring 156 runs in 6 matches of IPL 2025 season. Devon Conway's IPL Record 6 / 8 New Zealand opener Devon Conway, who was a key figure in CSK's 2023 title-winning campaign, has scored 1080 runs in 29 matches with an average of 43.20 and strike rate of 139.71 in his IPL career so far. 4. Deepak Hooda 7 / 8 Deepak Hooda, who was picked by CSK for Rs 1.7 crore during the auction, disappointed with his performance in IPL 2025 season. He was tried at various batting positions but he failed to deliver, scoring just 31 runs in 7 matches in the IPL 2025 season. After his disappointing outing, CSK might consider releasing Hooda before the IPL 2026 auction and buy some impactful batters ahead of the next season. Deepak Hooda's IPL Record 8 / 8 Deepak Hooda made his IPL debut in 2015 and has played more than 100 matches in the league. He has scored 1496 runs in 125 matches with an average of 17.60 and strike rate of 127.64 in his IPL career so far.

Shooting world shot by new rules: Single canvas jackets likely to lead to lighter rifles, loss in stability and emphasis on shooting position
Tired of near perfect shooting scores, and 'penguin walks' in high profile tournaments like the World Championships and Olympics in tightly wound together jackets raising eyebrows, the world body of shooting has proposed some radical changes. These intend to put the onus of technique back in the hands of shooters and their level of training, rather than the gear doing all the work for them. The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) has put forward these proposals after shooters started achieving the peak of scores possible in the sport. The proposal also hints at a rejig of the current world records, similar to how the sport of javelin underwent — and will start from the 2026 season, possibly to give manufacturers and shooters time to align with ISSF rules. The ISSF, in a report tabled by Sporting Director Peter Underhill noted that the way the sport was being presented due to the clothing of athletes was being discussed at 'the highest levels of IOC'. 'Currently, athletes being unable to walk properly in their sports clothing and the whole image of our athletes encased in suits of iron risks bringing the sport into disrepute,' the ISSF said on the 2025 Rifle Clothing Workshop document. If ratified, the change would be the biggest in the Olympic discipline since 2012 when the decimal point scoring system was introduced. The chief area of change proposed by the ISSF is towards the rifle jacket. Modern jackets are made of two layers of canvas all over, with button holes and straps that tightly bind together the body of the shooter in an ideal position — and keep that position consistent over the period of a competition. This kind of clothing was leading to what Indian national team rifle coach Deepali Deshpande described as 'technical doping'. 'They have not asked to reduce the thickness of the jacket. The new rules will have some effect on the back and shooter's stability. The scores will no longer go as high as they do currently,' said Deshpande to the Indian Express. 'As mentioned in the document, it's currently like technical doping. The only issue is that changing gear will cost athletes money.' Other than the issue of cost (the ISSF document mentions that current gear can be modified to adhere to these planned changes), the change in gear may likely upset the apple cart. Take the Indian case. A new generation of rifle shooters have emerged; domestic competition in India is as tough, if not tougher than the international stage. But the young lineup of shooters that have only known the double canvas gear, will now have to adjust to learning what the ideal state of their body should be during a competition – and then go through countless repetition cycles to fight for scores lower than what they usually expect. Those consistent 10.8s and 10.9s might be a relic of the past. 'A lot of the new shooters who have started with this kit will have a problem. They'll have to work hard on their fitness. Earlier shooters were making it to the Indian team within two-three years. They will have to really work hard to maintain their spot,' said Deshpande, who is the coach of Paris Olympics bronze medallist Swapnil Kusale. Stiffer jackets allowed shooters to use heavier rifles, which allowed more stability, which in turn led to higher scores. But these new rules would lead to changes across the board. Shooters like Arjun Babuta and Rudrankksh Patil, who use lighter rifles, may have to adjust, while shooters with heavier rifles might have to go for newer equipment altogether. 'By default, these rifles are heavy and there really isn't much that can be done in making them lighter. That way, it may be an expensive affair. Even rifle manufacturing companies will have to come up with something different,' said Deshpande. She also said that the old guard of Indian shooting might not be as affected. Anjum Moudgil, a former World Championship medallist and staple Olympian of the Indian shooting team continues to be one of the few shooters domestically who still wear a single canvas jacket. For Moudgil, sticking to her single layered jacket came from a place of wanting to be the best in her discipline, without the help of a stiff jacket putting her in ideal spots. 'I was never tempted to use double layered jackets because I knew it was the jacket that was helping athletes,' said Moudgil. 'Many coaches in the past have asked me to use these jackets but somewhere, being in this sport for so many years and not being dependent on the equipment but my body and my training, gave me a lot of confidence. I may not have shot high scores but I knew that I could be consistent. In warm weather the jacket can get loose but those factors don't affect me like other shooters,' added the 31-year-old Olympian. 2016 Rio Olympic gold medallist Virginia Thrasher welcomed the change and said that the move would bring technical expertise and positional knowledge back to the forefront of the sport. 'This will hopefully help athletes and coaches see the need for robust positions (rather than dangerous positions that shoot well). We will undoubtedly see changes in what a 'good' position is and those who are the most open to change will reap the rewards,' she said on her Instagram.
