“This is the best time….”- Mandeep Singh’s big statement after leaving Punjab team
It’s not like I can’t go back, I left on good terms- Mandeep Singh Mandeep Singh (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian batsman Mandeep Singh has announced his separation from the Punjab Cricket Association. He will be seen playing for Tripura in the upcoming domestic season. Let us tell you, under the captaincy of Mandeep, Punjab ended the 30-year drought and won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023-24 title. He was the key player of the team in all formats, scoring more than 14 thousand runs and scoring 19 centuries and 81 half-centuries for the team. Mandeep Singh recently revealed the reason why he decided to leave the Punjab team. The player says that this is the right time to leave the team. It was my biggest dream to win the trophy for Punjab- Mandeep Singh Mandeep Singh while talking to ESPNcricinfo said, It was my big dream to win a trophy for Punjab, which we achieved last season. So, I felt it was the best time to leave. And it’s not like I can’t go back, I left on good terms. I hope to finish with Punjab because my heart is with Punjab. Mandeep Singh further told about whether he is going to become the captain of Tripura cricket team? I have not spoken about it (with Tripura Cricket Association regarding captaincy). I spoke to my coach PV Sasikant, but we only discussed how to take the team forward. Everything is a bit new for me. Mandeep’s biggest goal is to return to IPL Mandeep further talked about his goals, he said that he wants to play in all three formats and also wants to make a comeback in the IPL. He has also cited players like Suryakumar Yadav and Shashank Singh as his inspiration. I have some goals, to play all three formats and then, to come back to IPL. Obviously, if you come back to IPL and perform well, you can get into the Indian team. If I am not wrong, Suryakumar Yadav played for India at the age of 30. Shashank Singh is 32-33 (32). He got his first taste of success in IPL last year. So the motivations are right in front of me.

Jacob’s explosive style and game awareness are things that will prove extremely useful. We play in the SA20, both at home in Paarl and away in similar conditions.

We are looking forward to both of them joining the Royals for Season 3. Take a look at Jacob Bethel’s performance- Jacob Bethel was born in Barbados, he received a sports scholarship at Rugby School in Warwickshire at the age of 13.

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…
