The Indian football team has had a major blow ahead of their final group match of the CAFA Nations Cup against Afghanistan on Thursday. Dependable centre-back Sandesh Jhingan has returned home from Tajikistan after sustaining a jaw injury in the clash against Iran. His absence is expected to weaken the solidity of India’s backline against a physical Afghan side. In the opening game, India’s defensive resilience and goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu’s assured presence between the posts laid the foundation for a crucial win over Tajikistan. Even against Iran, ranked 20th in the FIFA standings, the Jhingan–Anwar Ali partnership stood tall,…

After edging past China 4-3 in the campaign opener, the Indian men’s hockey team once again bagged a hard-fought three points against Japan with a 3-2 win in the ongoing Hero Asia Cup 2025 in Rajgir.

The podcast with double Paralympics silver medallist and discus thrower Yogesh Kathuniya was recorded during the RevSportz Trailblazers Conclave 3.0, with the aim of unveiling the backstage stories of the making of an elite athlete.

With Neeraj Chopra you can never predict a result until the event is over. It was a somewhat underwhelming outing by the former Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra at the Diamond League 2025 Final in Zurich, as he finished second with his best throw of the day, 85.01m. This was the only time he crossed the 85m mark on the night in Switzerland. However, it marked his 26th consecutive top-two finish in major tournaments, which speaks of his consistency. Germany’s Julian Weber, in the form of his life, breached the 90m mark twice, first with 91.37m and then with 91.51m. The…

Rohan Chowdhury India ended day 3, on Wednesday, at the 16th Asian Shooting Championships, in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, with Anant Jeet Singh Naruka sealing the gold medal in the men’s skeet. He won in a hard-fought contest against Kuwait’s Mansour Alrashidi – 57-56.
