Lakshya Sen impressed everyone with his game at the Paris Olympics 2024. After the semi-finals, he had to face a close defeat in the bronze medal match. If he had won the medal, he would have become the first male badminton player from India. However, he could not do so. Recently Lakshya Sen talked about his goals in the coming days. His goal is to become one of the biggest players of Indian badminton. He has clearly said that he wants to make a name for himself in badminton just like Virat Kohli has a name in cricket. I want to become the Virat Kohli of Indian badminton in the coming years – Lakshya Sen When Lakshya Sen was asked in the TRS podcast that you are called the Virat Kohli of Indian badminton, do you take this as a compliment? On this Lakshya said, “Why not, I mean if he is saying this then it is a good thing, but it is also true that he has done a lot for Indian cricket and yes, I want to become the Virat Kohli of Indian badminton in the coming years.” Lakshya Sen is just 23 years old and he has already achieved a lot, but he wants to have the same kind of name in badminton as Virat has in cricket. Lakshya has definitely disappointed in Paris but this player is just 23 years old and is hardworking, he is going to live badminton. Because of this, we can hope that Lakshya will do wonders in the Olympics to be held in Los Angeles in 2028 and will bring a medal for the country. Let us tell you that Lakshya won the gold medal in the Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham in 2022. Lakshya has also won gold in the Thomas Come held in Bangkok in 2022.
“He is like family…”, said Sanjiv Goenka on KL Rahul’s future in LSG
KL Rahul has been an important part of the Super Giants family. He has been there since the beginning – Sanjiv Goenka Sanjeev Goenka & KL Rahul (Photo Source: Lucknow Super Giants’ performance in IPL 2024 under the captaincy of KL Rahul was disappointing. During the season, there was a lot of commotion and tension between owner Sanjiv Goenka and captain KL Rahul. Ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 auction, there are reports that LSG may release Rahul. Also, his former franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore may show interest in buying him. Let us tell you, before the IPL 2022 mega auction, Lucknow Super Giants bought Rahul for Rs 17 crore. Amidst speculations of KL Rahul’s retention, LSG owner Sanjeev Goenka has made a big statement. Goenka says that Rahul is an integral part of the team and he is like family to him. KL Rahul has been an important part of the Super Giants family- Sanjiv Goenka Amidst the news of KL Rahul’s release from LSG, Sanjeev Goenka recently invited KL Rahul to dinner in Kolkata, the pictures of which are going viral on social media. Speaking at a recent press conference, Goenka said, I am surprised that this meeting is getting so much attention. As I said earlier, we have not considered retention until the BCCI makes a rule. All I can say is that KL has been an important part of the Super Giants family. He has been there from the beginning, has played a very important role. For me personally, he is like family and will remain family. Sanjeev Goenka further talked about IPL retention, he said that there is enough time and a decision has to be taken carefully as the future of the team depends on it. We have the entire time of September, October and November to take a decision. We should wait for the retention policy to come. We have not even thought about the future team, whether the retention will be three-four-five or six, we do not know. Let’s see, there is enough time, whatever decision we take today will have an impact on the future, so a decision has to be taken after a lot of thought and consideration.
“It is very important for strategy….”, Ravichandran Ashwin came out in support of the impact player rule
Impact player rule is not that bad- Ravichandran Ashwin R Ashwin (Photo Source: Getty Images) The impact player rule is making a lot of headlines in the entire cricket world. During IPL 2024, many senior players expressed their displeasure over this rule. Indian captain Rohit Sharma says that he is not a big fan of this rule and due to this the emergence of potential all-rounders in the country has been stopped. On the other hand, Virat Kohli believes that the rule introduced by IPL does not give the right balance to the game. However, Ravichandran Ashwin has described the impact player rule as important for the team’s strategy. The veteran says that batsmen cannot change bowlers overnight and this makes the game fair. Impact player rule is not that bad- Ashwin Ravichandran Ashwin while speaking on K. Srikkanth’s YouTube show said, Why I think the impact player rule is not so bad is because it is a bit necessary for strategy. The other side of that argument is that it does not encourage all-rounders. But nobody is stopping them. In this generation, they don’t do it (batsmen bowl or bowlers bat). It’s not that they are discouraged because of the impact player rule. Look at Venkatesh Iyer, he is currently doing brilliantly for Lancashire. So this rule makes the game more fair. Citing the example of IPL 2024 Qualifier-2, Ashwin said, “Sunrisers Hyderabad brought Shahbaz Ahmed as an impact player. He proved to be a match winner by taking three wickets.” Ashwin emphasized that a rule like impact player gives another bowling option and balance to the game and at the same time the match becomes closer. The veteran Indian spinner also believes that players like Shivam Gube, Shahbaz Ahmed and Dhruv Jurel have emerged because of the impact player rule. It is because of this rule that new players are getting opportunities.
