After which former veteran badminton player Prakash Padukone expressed a lot of disappointment. He had said that this time all the institutions like the government, SAI and TOPS had done all the work on their part, now the time has come that the players will also have to take their responsibility. After this statement of his, he had to face a lot of criticism. Meanwhile, veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has supported Prakash Padukone. He said, ‘People of this country are experts in making excuses, if there was an event for this, we would have won gold every time. Prakash Padukone has always stayed away from the news. His whole life has been like this. Some people are taking his statement in the wrong way. In fact, these people know him, yet they are saying such things. Sunil Gavaskar came out in support of Prakash Padukone Gavaskar further said, ‘What did he say? He said that players today get all kinds of facilities. They also have the support of the federation and the government. In such a situation, players should take responsibility for their performance. He put his point across well. He did not question anyone. Some people twisted his statement. After this people started criticizing him. He started putting forth his point without knowing anything. He said, ‘If a player does not take responsibility for his performance, then who will? What wrong did he say? People say that the timing was wrong. But it is better to say this at the time when the player is looking for an excuse. He could have said this in the changing room as well, but believe me, public criticism has a huge impact on a player.’

Neeraj Chopra’s silver medal in Paris Olympics is like Team India’s defeat in World Cup 2023! Understand the whole matter here
Chopra had to be content with the silver medal in the javelin throw competition. Neeraj Chopra (Image Credit- Twitter X) The final of the javelin throw competition was played on 8 August at the Paris Olympics. Let us tell you that in this final, Neeraj Chopra, who was a strong contender to win the gold medal, had to settle for the silver medal. However, Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan created a new Olympic record by throwing the javelin at 92.97 meters and won the gold medal. So today in this article we will try to look at this silver medal of Neeraj Chopra from the cricket perspective: Neeraj Chopra’s silver medal was like India’s defeat in World Cup 2023 We can see many similarities between Neeraj Chopra’s silver medal in the Paris Olympics and the performance of the Indian cricket team in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Because Team India came to the World Cup after winning the Asia Cup 2023, and was in excellent form. So something similar happened with Neeraj Chopra, as he won gold medals in the World Athletics Championship 2023 and Asian Games before participating in the Paris Olympics 2024. Chopra’s form was also amazing just like Team India. The Indian team did not lose any match in the World Cup in the league stage, and after that, it won the semi-finals and made it to the finals with 10 wins. Team India was a strong contender to win the finals, just like Neeraj was to win the gold medal in the Olympics. Whereas India was playing cricket on its home ground. So just like Team India lost against Australia in the World Cup, something similar happened to Neeraj in the Olympics with Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan. Neeraj has defeated Nadeem in all the competitions held before this, but yesterday on 8th August, in the javelin throw competition, he threw a brilliant throw and secured the gold medal. But this should not have happened to Neeraj and Team India on the day of the final. But it has to be accepted that after being informed, both times Team India and Neeraj have been overpowered by their opponents in the final. During both the matches, every Indian fan kept watching with rapt attention and thinking that had this not happened, Team India could have won the World Cup and Neeraj the gold medal. Team India could have ended the 13-year drought by winning the World Cup on Indian soil, while Neeraj could have become the greatest Indian track and field athlete by winning two consecutive gold medals at the Olympics. But perhaps this was not meant to happen. However, after this, the Indian cricket team’s dream of not winning the ICC trophy was fulfilled after winning the T20 World Cup 2024, but now Neeraj will have to wait for four years to win the gold medal again. So if everything goes well, then fans can see Neeraj and the Indian team winning the gold medal together in the Olympics to be held in Los Angeles in…
