Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Yuvraj Singh and Sanju Samson were among the Indian cricket stars at Centre Court for the Wimbledon men’s singles final between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev. While enjoying the atmosphere at the All England Club, Abhishek and Yuvraj shared their thoughts on the occasion, tennis and the next generation of sporting talent.

Speaking to Star Sports, Abhishek said it was a dream come true to be at Wimbledon, especially for the men’s singles final.

“It was actually one of my dreams to come here,” India’s T20I opener said. “And especially on such a special day, the final, that’s probably the cherry on top. Obviously, I’m just going to enjoy the match here. I’m just going to have my moment.”

Reflecting on his tennis inspirations, Abhishek recalled growing up admiring Rafael Nadal.

“I remember, even now, I think Rafael Nadal was one of those because he’s a left-hander as well,” he said. “He’s one of the rare left-handers, I would say, and one of the most successful in the sport. The way he trained, his attitude and the way he dominated, I think he was definitely one of them.”

He also praised the current generation of stars, saying their success motivates athletes beyond tennis.

“I think Alcaraz and Sinner, for sure, the way they are playing right now, they’ve been dominating. That’s what I always try to bring into my sport. I think the way they are performing in this sport is lovely to watch. It always inspires young cricketers, and I would say youngsters in all sports.”

In another video shared on Wimbledon’s official Instagram account, Yuvraj spoke about meeting Sooryavanshi for the first time and revealed the nickname he has given the teenage sensation.

“It feels great. It’s my first time meeting Vaibhav in person,” the former India all-rounder said. “I keep meeting Abhishek, but this is the first time I’ve met Vaibhav. I call him ‘Boss Baby’, and now everyone has started calling him that because he has become the boss.”

Consistent Nicholas Pooran can be world’s top T20 batter

Nicholas Pooran’s carnage against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Image: IPL He has always had a calmness about him. A very West Indian relaxed kind of mindset and demeanour. And having seen adversity, he knows that one needs to celebrate and value the good that comes your way. The urge to keep getting better, and be the best version of oneself, is what defines the new Nicholas Pooran. That’s what came through in the candid conversations we had on the IPL and his own approach to batting. Not overawed by the 21-crore price tag or the weight of expectations, Pooran is simply going about his job. He knows he can hit the ball miles and is keeping it simple. Go and do what you do best for hours and hours at practice, and in doing so, help your team Lucknow Super Giants] demolish opponents. “The best part about this franchise is they have never put me under pressure,” he told me. “When you are paid a lot of money, there is always pressure. Not so much from outside but from within. You know you ne...

From scoring ton in Patna to taking on bouncers like a ‘bullet’ in Perth – Nitish’s story of perseverance

Image
Nitish Kumar Reddy during the 1st innings of the Perth Test (PC: Debasis Sen) “Grateful, an innings to remember.” Nitish Reddy had posted the aforesaid statement on his Instagram account after cracking his maiden first-class hundred, against Bihar, in Patna. It wasn’t just about Nitish scoring an unbeaten 159 for Andhra. It was also about the way he scored those runs. He essayed a few crunchy drives off Veer Pratap Singh and also showcased his range of shots against Ashutosh Aman, the left-arm spinner, by playing with the turn and also against the turn. This hundred from Nitish came just before the 2024 IPL season, where he accumulated 303 runs. Once again, it wasn’t just about Nitish accruing 303 runs as he accumulated them with a touch of class. Soon, the Indian think-tank drafted the all-rounder into the limited-overs set-up. Although he missed the Zimbabwe series because of a hernia problem, it was crystal clear that the coaching staff had a vision – to pick him for the tour o...

Turning the clock back by 0.12 seconds

MS Dhoni with a stumping dismissal against MI in the IPL 2025 in Chennai (PC: BCCI) The moment of the Chennai Super Kings-Mumbai Indians match lasted less than half a second. It was the 11 th over of the MI innings. Suryakumar Yadav was bringing the batting side back in the game. Noor Ahmad beat him on a forward charge, the ball spun away, and the right-hander’s hind leg got off the ground before he planted it back. That was all MS Dhoni needed to brush the bails off. At a packed MA Chidambaram Stadium decked in yellow and chanting his name, that was the only occasion when Dhoni was in ‘action’. It showed that at 43, his reflexes have not slackened and he has got sharper in plotting dismissals. This one was replayed on TV again and again during the match and commentators couldn’t help but keep talking about it. He had conceded four byes on the leg side in the same over. But this was the Dhoni who elevated stumping to another level. When it comes to waiting for batters to err wit...
