Russians press assault on

eastern Ukrainian city

Kyiv
Russian forces are pounding
the city of Lysychansk and
its surroundings in an all-
out attempt to seize the last
stronghold of resistance in
eastern Ukraine's Luhansk
province, the governor said
on Saturday.
Ukrainian fighters have
spent weeks trying to defend
the city and to keep it from
falling to Russia, as neigh-
bouring Sievierodonetsk did
a week ago.
The Russian Defence Min-
istry said its forces took con-
trol of an oil refinery on
Lysychansk's edge in recent
days, but Luhansk Gov. Ser-
hiy Haidai reported on Fri-
day that fighting for the fa-
cility continued.
"Over the last day, the oc-
cupiers opened fire from all
available kinds of weapons,"
Haidai said on Saturday on
the Telegram messaging
app.

The first of the more than
200 firefighters from six Eu-

help their Greek colleagues
in fighting wildfires have ar-
rived in Athens.
The 28 Romanian firefight-

the leadership of Greece's
Fire Service.
"Romania is happy to join
the pre-positioning pro-

"We have a previous expe-

The Romanians, along
with other countries, in-

Turkey, helped Greece
fight widespread wildfires
in August 2021, which
broke across the country
and devastated the north-

AGENCIES

Two more Britons captured
by Russian forces in Ukraine
have been charged with be-
ing mercenaries, according
to Russian state media, re-
ported the BBC.
Dylan Healy, a chef who
was volunteering as an aid
worker, had been captured at
a checkpoint in April.
On the same day, Russia re-
leased a video of Andrew
Hill in military uniform,
saying he had surrendered.
It comes after two other
British men, Shaun Pinner
and Aiden Aslin, were sen-
tenced to death last month.
They faced the same
charges as Healy and Hill in
the hearing at a Russian
proxy court in eastern
Ukraine, which is not inter-
nationally recognised.
The European Court of
Human Rights has since in-
tervened to demand the sen-
tence is not carried out.
But Russia has rejected the
call, saying it no longer im-
plements the Strasbourg
court's decisions and the fate
of the men was a matter for
the pro-Russian, breakaway
Donetsk People's Republic.
According to a report by
Russia's Tass news agency,
an anonymous official from
the self-styled Donetsk Peo-
ple's Republic claimed Healy
and Hill would stand trial for
"mercenary activities". It re-
ported both men were refus-

Totaling $820 million, the

Southwest Monsoon has covered the
entire country six days before the
normal date, as parts of Rajasthan
and Gujarat received their first sea-
sonal rains on Friday.
The Monsoon had set over Kerala
on May 29, three days ahead of the
normal date of June 1.
"Southwest monsoon has covered
the entire country on Saturday, six
days before the normal date of July
8," the India Meteorological Depart-
ment (IMD) said on Saturday.
Parts of western Rajasthan and
north Gujarat, which were yet to re-
ceive monsoon rains, received their
first showers on Friday.
However, the country has recorded
a rainfall deficit of five per cent as on
Saturday.
According to the IMD, all states
falling in the monsoon core zone,
barring Rajasthan, have received de-
ficient rains till now. The monsoon
core zone comprises the states of Ra-
jasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh and
Odisha which are rain-fed agricul-
tural regions.
Gujarat has received 37 per cent

Salvi had hoped that he
would win the election,
hinting that party legisla-
tors disobeying the whip
issued by Prabhu would
attract disqualification.
The Thackeray-led Shiv
Sena has sacked Shinde as
the legislative party leader
and replaced him with
Ajay Choudhari, while the
rebel camp has appointed
Shinde as its legislative
party leader.
The Thackeray-led Shiv
Sena is left with 16 legisla-
tors while the Shinde
camp claims the support
of 39 legislators.
Shiv Sena legislator
Sachin Ajit told The Free
Press Journal, “The power
to issue a whip rests with
the party’s chief whip.”
However, CM Eknath
Shinde, who landed in
Mumbai with his group of
legislators from Goa, was
furious over the whip is-
sued by Prabhu, claiming
that it did not apply to
them as they have majori-
ty (two-thirds of 55 Sena
legislators are with the
Shinde camp). “We are go-
ing for a floor test on July
4. We are sure of victory
as we have a majority,” he
added. Shinde has claimed
the support of 170 legisla-
tors, comprising 106
MLAs of the BJP and 14
others, apart from 50 leg-
islators comprising 39
from the Shinde camp and
11 Independents and

HE HAD GONE TO
CATCH A SNAKE IN A
HOUSE AT SAISUMAN
NAGAR WHEN THE
INCIDENT TOOK PLACE
OUR STAFF REPORTER
city.bhopal@fpj.co.in
In a shocking incident, a man-who
was known as an expert in catch-
ing snakes-died after a snake bite
while catching a serpent in a
house in the Banganga area. After
the snake bite, he removed some
poison from his body on his own
and reached home, after which his
condition deteriorated and he was
rushed to hospital. The police are
waiting for the autopsy report and
are investigating the case.
The incident took place in the
Saisuman Nagar area under Ban-
ganga police station jurisdiction
One-day training programme
on Friday evening. The deceased
was identified as Ashok Mewada
57, a resident of the Bhagat Singh
Nagar area of the city. His younger
son, Jitendra, told Free Press that
his father was an expert in catch-
ing snakes and people used to call
him 'Kaka'. He had been catching
snakes in the area for more than 40
years.
On Friday, he received a call from
a person that a snake had entered
his home at Saisuman Nagar. After
that, Mewada reached there and
was trying to catch the snake when
it bit him and he fell on the floor.
However, he got up and reached
home after dropping the snake off
in an isolated place. Jitendra was
at his job at the time of the inci-
dent. When he spoke to his father
over the phone, hid dad informed
him that he was feeling all right.
But, after reaching home, his con-
dition deteriorated and he was
rushed to hospital, where he died
during treatment on Friday night.
As he was an expert, people used
to call him even in the middle of
the night to catch snakes and he
did not refuse any request. Ac-
cording to Jitendra, his father had
never killed any snake. He used to
release them in isolated places or
in the jungles after rescuing them.
Also, Mewada had taken out the
poison from many people after a
snake bite.
The Banganga police handed
over the body to the family after
the autopsy on Saturday and start-
ed an investigation in the case.

ous imprisonment for at-

The incident took place
on October 28, 2021, in Nan-
da Nagar area where the
victim, Chetan, resident of
Nanda Nagar, and his
friend were attacked by the
two accused.
The accused asked for
Rs 500 from the victim to
buy liquor. When the ac-
cused refused, the two ac-

the community celebrat-
ing and embracing their
culture and worshiping St
Thomas.
Saint Thomas,
known as Didymus (the
twin), was a simple and
also
hardworking fisherman
from Galilee. Jesus called
him to be his disciple and
selected him to be one of
the twelve apostles.
Thomas's love and respect
for his Lord was intense.
Thomas boldly told his
companions, "Let us also
go and die with them."
Saint Thomas, according
to the orders of Lord Jesus,
travelled to the ends of the
earth carrying the light of
his gospel and, especially
in South India, ignited the
flame which has been
burning continuously for
two thousand years; and
developing day by day, it is
spreading its divine light
to many people. Saint
Thomas travelled the
longest distance among all
the other apostles and has
the distinction of pro-
claiming the gospel by
reaching the frontiers of
the countries known at
that time.
The mortal remains of St
Thomas were buried in St
Thomas's Basilica, Chen-
nai, where the St Thomas
Church is named after
him. Later, his revered re-
mains were taken to the
city of Edessa in
Mesopotamia and trans-
ferred to Italy in the 13th
Century. The Feast of
Saint Thomas is celebrated
on July 3.
DOUBTING THOMAS
aint Thomas became famous for his role in publicly
S attesting to the truth of his Lord's resurrection. When the
Lord appeared to the apostles on the eve of the
resurrection, Thomas was not with them. Later, upon his
return, when the other apostles told him that they had seen
the Lord, Thomas did not believe them and insisted on seeing
Him himself. That's why, he was called Doubting Thomas. But
the Lord Jesus knew the deep love of Thomas's heart and his
strong desire to see the Lord Himself. Thus, just as a loving
father happily fulfils the wishes of his beloved son, so also Jesus
fulfilled the wish of Thomas. Eight days later, when Thomas
was also present, the Lord appeared to the apostles a second
time and, fulfilling their demand, showed them the signs of his
hands and armpits and asked him to place his fingers on them.
At this, Thomas vehemently declared his strong belief in the
divinity of Jesus, saying, "My Lord, my God", which is the most
beautiful confession of faith in the church.

Cases up, but most patients
recovering in one or two days
OUR STAFF REPORTER
city.indore@fpj.co.in
Even though the cases of
Covid-19 are increasing
swiftly, health department
officials are not too wor-
ried as most of the patients
are asymptomatic, or hav-
ing mild symptoms.
The experts said that
many of the patients, espe-
cially those who have taken
three doses of vaccine, are
recovering in just one or
two days with medicines
given to treat their symp-
toms.
According to respiratory
medicine expert Dr Ravi
Dosi, about 95 per cent of
patients are being kept in
home isolation and are not
requiring any intensive
treatment and care.
"These patients were vac-
cinated and only had symp-
toms like fever, body ache,
and throat pain for a couple
of days only. Most of those
vaccinated against the dis-
ease were found positive
'accidentally' as they had
approached the doctor for
treatment for some other
disease," he said.

About 15 days have passed since
the onset of the monsoon, but citi-
zens have not witnessed any con-
tinuous spell of rainfall, so far.
They had to settle for intermittent
rain continuing with varying in-
tensity in different parts of the
city throughout the day on Satur-
day.
Regional meteorological depart-
ment officials recorded 3.6 mm
rainfall throughout the day with
which the total rainfall of the sea-

inches), so far. Met officials said
that the conditions will remain the
same for the next couple of days
and a good spell of rain will start
after July 4.

The first heavy rain of the

fil any of the announcements
included in its manifesto dur-

to which people have lost

A
simple meaning for
the word enthusi-
asm is to have keen
interest. It means you
demonstrate an eagerness
and a joy that fills you with
energy.
Enthusiasm is the energy,
the intense zeal, the inspi-
ration, the focus, the fever,
the excitement or the en-
joyment found in people
when they are possessed by
a conscious or unconscious
desire to do a thing.
Enthusiasm means
throwing ourselves into a
relationship, goal, dream,
or activity. It means casting
aside worries or distrac-
tions and embracing in-
stead the delights of the
moment or the hope of suc-
cess. Enthusiasm makes us
feel fully alive. It is one of
the roots of joy.
Some people are natural-
ly enthusiastic and they
are that way because they
have developed the neces-
sary habits. But we come
across a number of people
who are highly talented but
fail miserably. These people
fail because of their indif-

INDIAN ECONOMY STILL IN THE THROES OF CHALLENGES ment for the current financial year.
Globally, food, energy and commodity
prices are rising sharply due to the
war. It has also adversely affected
global trade and growth rates. De-
mand - Inflation is also on the rise due
to supply imbalances. The changes
suggested by the members of the Fi-
nance Committee have been imple-
mented to overcome the financial dif-
P C THOMAS ficulties that may arise due to such
imbalances. Importantly, the repo rate
loans may increase or the repayment
period may also scale up.
This rate increase applies to all new
home and auto loans and existing
loans. This rate hike may reduce the
number of notes in the economy in
the face of rising inflation. The
Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and the
retail price index are all higher than
in previous years. The consumer
price index is projected at 6.7 percent
for the 2022-2023 fiscal year. In addi-
the rupee has not improved from Rs 76
a dollar in April. As India is an im-
port-oriented country, this devalua-
tion will adversely affect the economy.
The depreciation of the rupee has
pushed up commodity prices and cre-
ated an environment for inflation.
This will cause great hardship to
those working for low wages in vari-
ous parts of the country. The Federal
Reserve has raised interest rates to
control inflation, the highest in two
ports, the current account will be in
deficit. The current account deficit for
fiscal year 2022 is at a three-year high
of USD 43.8 billion. Due to the grow-
ing uncertainty and unpredictability
of the global economy, India may face
some setbacks in terms of exports. In
the context of rising global commodi-
ty prices and the depreciating rupee,
imports will be more expensive but
exports will be less expensive to for-
eign countries. As such, demand for
this context that the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) has expressed
concern. Subsequently, various coun-
tries eased restrictions on wheat ex-
ports and resumed small-scale wheat
exports from India. This will help
bring down food prices globally.
Wheat production in Ukraine has de-
clined since Russia's occupation, and
India's ban on exports of major cere-
als has pushed up international wheat
prices.

T
he Indian economy is once
again going through a challeng-
ing period. The Reserve Bank of
India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta
Das recently unveiled some financial
control measures in the wake of a
number of challenges in the country
and overseas. He said the Russia-
Ukraine war had led to the globaliza-
tion of inflation. In this case, it is nec-
essary to examine how the new deci-
sions will affect the economy.
The new changes were introduced in
the third monetary policy announce-
- the rate at which the Reserve Bank
lends to banks - has been increased
from 4.4 per cent to 4.9 per cent. This
is the second time this year that the
repo rate has been increased. Howev-
er, there is currently no change in the
reverse repo rate (interest rate paid by
the Reserve Bank on deposits received
from banks). It will remain at 3.35 per
cent.
The significant change in the repo
rate will directly affect the general
public of the country. Notably, interest
rates on short-term and long-term
tion, food inflation is on the rise in the
country. India was not the only coun-
try to change rates. The European
Central Bank's 25-member monetary
system committee meeting in Ams-
terdam, the Netherlands, decided to
raise interest rates after 11 years, so as
to prevent rising inflation in Europe
due to the repercussions of the war.
Rupee depreciation is another chal-
lenge facing the Indian economy. The
rupee had touched a record low
against the dollar in recent weeks. Ac-
cording to the Reserve Bank of India,
decades. This is because when the
rich withdraw foreign investment
from other countries and invest in the
US, the demand for the dollar rises
sharply and the rupee, like other cur-
rencies, is adversely affected.
India's current account deficit
should be read in conjunction with
the rupee's depreciation. The current
account describes the country's ex-
port and import data. If the country's
exports exceed the imports, the cur-
rent account will be in surplus and if
the imports are more than the ex-
the rupee may increase due to the ex-
port of essential commodities to coun-
tries around the world and recover
from the slump. But it will only de-
pend on other micro and macro eco-
nomic factors in the country.
The government has restricted ex-
ports of wheat from India due to ris-
ing prices of wheat in the local mar-
ket. But this created the conditions for
an increase in the price of wheat in-
ternationally. The market faced a se-
vere crisis as some other countries
imposed similar restrictions. It is in
In short, even when a country is in
crisis at a time when economic glob-
alization is very strong, its repercus-
sions extend to other countries and
cause significant changes in the eco-
nomic structure both globally and
regionally. At the same time, when
domestic issues arise, the country
will face serious setbacks, if it does
not scrutinize the economy and steer
it in the right direction. The people
of the country, especially the low in-
come groups, will have to face a seri-
ous crisis.

AHMEDABAD: An alleged gram panchayat notification bearing the name of the Sarpanch directing shopkeepers and
residents not to buy anything from Muslim vendors is doing the rounds at a village in Gujarat’s Banaskantha district. The
notification says if anyone is seen buying goods from Muslim vendors, he or she would be fined Rs 5,100, and the fine
amount would be used for ‘Gaushalas’. The letter dated June 30 mentions that the rule has been introduced in the
aftermath of the grusome killing of a tailor in Udaipur on June 18. The letter has a stamp on it along with the Sarpanch’s
‘signature’. Five members have signed the letter including, one name written in Gujarati, Patel Jethabhai.

OPPN UNITY SHOWN FOR PRESIDENTIAL POLLS MUST PERSIST: D. RAJA

C
PI General Secretary
D. Raja said that
there is no dearth of
leadership in opposition
parties and every party has
many capable leaders.
Talking to IANS, Raja
said that he wants to con-
tinue the opposition unity
even after the Presidential
polls. “We want it to contin-
ue. Now, we are together on
the Presidential election
and after the election every
party will decide what
should be the future course
of action on the continua-
tion of unity in the Opposi-
tion,” he said. On the BJP’s
‘Mission South’, he said
that the party has tried
many times but has always
failed in southern states.
Excerpt:
Q: Will the opposition
unity, which is being ex-
hibited in the Presiden-
tial election, now contin-
ue further in future?
Raja: We want it to con-
tinue. Now, we are together
for the Presidential election
and after the election every
party will decide what
should be the future course
of action on the continua-
tion of unity in the Opposi-
tion.
We have fielded Yashwant
Sinha as the combined op-
position candidate for the
Presidential elections,
which are being fought be-
tween two ideologies — one
driven by the BJP-RSS com-
bined communal forces and
other by democratic and
secular forces like us to
safeguard the democracy
and the Constitution.
Q: The BJP says Opposi-
tion lacks face to lead in
the national politics.
How do you take this?
Raja: What is the mean-
ing of leadership for the
BJP? If they don’t recog-
nise our leadership, it’s
their fault. It is for our par-
ty to recognise ours leader-
ship. We don’t want a cer-
tificate from Mr (Narendra)
Modi and Amit Shah about
my leadership or leader-
ship in Congress and other
parties. We are with our
own ideologies and we are
far better than those in
terms of having good lead-
ership.
There is no dearth of lead-
ership in opposition par-
ties, every party has many
capable leaders and they
are leading their parties.
Q: You said that this
year’s Presidential elec-
tion is a fight between
two ideologies, not of
two identities and num-
bers. And the Electoral
College are against the
Opposition, in such a sit-
uation, how your ideolo-
gy win will?
Raja: It is not a fight be-
tween two identities. It is a
fight between two ideolo-
gies -one is of the BJP-
RSS’s fascist, sectarian and
divisive ideologies and oth-
er is the Opposition parties
as secular and democratic
parties, who want together
to safeguard the Constitu-
tion and the democracy.
No doubt, the numbers
matter in elections but we
are in a fight of ideologies
not in a fight of identities
and ideology will win all
the way. Here, numbers are
not the problem, ideologies
are the problem.

ANITA RAHEJA - HEENA AGARWAL
arried for 16 years to Mo-
M hit Hussein and a mother
of two, Areeza and
Arham, Chhavi Mittal is
quite popular on social media.
The actress spills the beans about
her love story to The Free Press
Journal. Excerpts:
When and how did you first meet
your better half?
I met him for the lead part in a
telefilm he was directing. I was
told that he is a hotshot director
and will teach me the fine nu-
ances of acting in my first
project itself. It was in
2004, a few weeks after I
had shifted base to
Mumbai from Delhi.
Who played Cupid?
I would say the coordi-
nator who introduced
me to Mohit. His name
is Umesh, and we still
speak sometimes regard-
ing work.
What was your initial
reaction when you saw
him? Did the bells begin
tolling immediately, or did
that happen later?
Oh no! There were no bells, etc. I
did notice his magnetic aura,
though. We had been waiting out-
side a coffee shop for a while for a
table, but the minute he walked
in, a table magically got free! He
invited us to join him. He also
made me very nervous because he
kept looking at my pictures and
didn’t seem to like any.
What did you like about Mohit
when you met him for the first
time?
The first thing that struck me was
his height. But mostly, I was im-
pressed with the clarity that he
had about his film and the charac-
ters.
Did you guys exchange
numbers?
Yes, since we were working
together.
What was the ice-breaker?
It was on the first schedule in Goa.
He was impressed with me when
he saw my raw talent as an actress
who had never faced the camera.
He began to woo me on the first
day itself, and I realised he was

Ishq recalls that when he start-

my Hindi hip-hop journey, I was
told by composers that Hindi is
not a percussive language.

chahiye, Hindi melodious lan-

fore me were doing the Jamaican
vibe. People were like no, this is
not going to fly, but then somehow
it caught on, look at it now, look at
us now,” he says.

it. His patience, hard
work and determina-
tion have resulted in
Rocketry: The Nambi Ef-
fect, and the film has released to
rave reviews. The Free Press
Journal caught up with him for
an exclusive chat. Excerpts:
How was the process of making such
an extensive project like Rocketry:
The Nambi Effect?
It was exhausting. In other film proj-
ects, you have other people to help and
promote, but in Rocketry: The Nambi
Effect, everything was on my shoulders.
It was quite challenging but quite sur-
prising what our human body can do. If
you see pragmatically, I should not
have done this movie considering my
market capabilities. This is beyond
what I generally make in terms of
budget too.
Go on…
I have always had the strength to be
honest about myself and my work.
Everyone who worked on the film
was driven by the same thought that
they have to tell Nambi Narayanan’s
story. People were stuck with the
project for two years without a
salary during the pandemic. It was-
n’t a passion project. It is sheer
madness.
How do you maintain the image
of a complete family man along
with doing good work?
I have enough flaws. I am good
at acting (laughs). Like every
family, we have our own
huge challenges. Like every

When asked if he is lucky or selective while choosing and more
films, he says, “Am I lucky or am I selective? Yes, I had to
forgo so many films. Yes, I did have to say no to a few films.
For that, you need to have patience and self-belief. The people
around you have to be patient and have that belief in you
too.”
Opening up about his upcoming projects, he re-
veals, “My next film is titled Aankh Micholi.
Working with Paresh (Rawal) sir, Sharman
(Joshi) sir and Divya Dutta was a great ex-
perience. I am very excited about this
film.”
When asked if he too will act in
South Indian films like his mother, he
explains, “I would love to do South
films. When I signed up for
Meenakshi Sundareshwar, it was
my first step to showcase that I can
carry that image. I have always, from
the past 10-15 years, been influenced
by various South stars like Allu Ar-
jun, Nani and a lot of actors from
Malayalam cinema like Fahadh Faasil
and so many more.”
While his mother was so coy, Abhi-
manyu is the exact opposite as far as
dancing on screen is concerned. “I have
done a lot of hard work. My mom is hap-
py and proud of me. I have definitely in-
herited patience from her. Actually, my pa-
tience is a little more. I am probably the
most patient in the house,” he says.
Elaborating further, he adds, “Life teaches
you, but I am still learning a little more. I have
been through a lot during my short life span.”
Showbiz is known to show, especially actors,
the highest highs and the lowest lows. Abhi-
manyu agrees, but he has a solid support system
in place. “My friends and family help me to be
grounded. Maintaining my highs, as you say, is real-
ly not easy. I am grounded in reality only because of
the kind of friends and family I have,” he concludes.

ustin Timberlake has been sued in federal court by long-time music video helmer John
J Urbano. According to Deadline, John sued the singer over a film about his blockbuster The
20/20 Experience album that has never seen the light of day. Under a profit-sharing plan
initiated supposedly by Timberlake, he and Urbano would film the documentary and bring it
to market along with the release of the long-awaited album. As per the court filing, even though
the completed film moved the Justin to “tears”, his interest in taking it further “faded”. Urbano has
alleged that Timberlake bilked him out of around USD 2.5 million, which is the Ohio-based estimate he
would have been paid if the documentary had been a straightforward for-hire deal. —ANI

England’s new limited-overs

he is currently focused on
white-ball cricket, adding that

“Rightfully so. I had a poor

Several B’desh cricketers fall sick on sea journey
DOMINICA
The Bangladesh men’s
cricket team has reported-
ly endured a tumultuous
five-hour sea journey from
Saint Lucia to Dominica —
the venue for the opening
T20I against the West In-
dies later on Saturday —
with several players falling
sick and vomiting through-
out the journey.
The Bangladesh team
took a ferry for the 180km
sea journey from Saint Lu-
cia — where they played
the second Test — to Do-
minica, but by the time
they reached their destina-
tion on Thursday after-
noon the effects of the sea
had left them exhausted.
A report in
prothomalo.com late on
Friday said that the players
were “anxious” about the
sea journey as none of
them had experienced a
“five-hour-long voyage be-
fore”.
Their misery was report-
edly compounded by the in-
clement weather due to the
cyclone that hit two days
back.
“The waves started as
soon as the ferry reached
mid sea. The ferry wasn’t
big, so six to seven feet high
waves were enough to
make it rock wildly. The
waves felt fierce while
crossing the dolphin chan-
nel,” said the report.
It added that while it was
“quite normal” for regular
sea travellers, for the
Bangladesh cricketers, it
wasn’t a “pleasant experi-
ence”.
The report said that West
Indies cricketers, commen-
tators and journalists too
were there on ferry, adding
that the worst affected were
pace bowler Shoriful Islam,
wicketkeeper-batsman Nu-
rul Hasan and manager
Nafees Iqbal.
“Nafees and Nurul recov-
ered a little in the 40-
minute break in Mar-
tinique but Shoriful again
got sick in the journey
from Martinique to Do-
minica. He vomited multi-
ple times. At one point, he
even took off his shirt to
calm down,” the report
added.
The report said that it is
not known why a decision
was taken to ferry the play-
ers from one destination to
another by sea, given that
all touring teams prefer to
fly. It added that former
West Indies pace bowler,
Curtly Ambrose, who is
with the commentary
team, “did not even join fel-
low commentators Athar
Ali Khan, Ian Bishop on
this journey”.
come under pressure, but added that he decided to “focus on the
process” and not bother too much about what the opposition was
thinking. “I was just focusing on the ball. Yes, the pressure was there
when we lost three or four wickets early on. Yes, we have to build the
partnership but at the same time if we focus on the pressure, we might
not get the result. I focus on my process, and that gives me the result
most of the time.

As India look set to take on

Pool B game of the FIH

Cup Spain and Netherlands
2022 on July 3, captain Savi-
ta believes a rivalry has de-
veloped between the two
teams over the last few
years, which has seen play-
ers from both sides bring
their ‘A’ game to the fore
whenever they clash.
The Indian women’s hock-
ey team and England have
shared an exciting rivalry
with encounters between
the two teams going down
to the wire on most occa-
sions. Though at the 2020
Tokyo Olympic Games, In-
dia lost the bronze-medal
match to Great Britain 3-4,
many players from that GB
squad will take on India as
they represent England on
Sunday, in their inaugural
match here.
At the previous edition of
the World Cup in London in
2018, India matched the per-
formance of England with
a 1-1 draw in the round-
robin league match. Earlier
that year, the Indian
women’s team had beaten
England 2-1 in the group
stage of the Common-
wealth Games in Gold
Coast, but had lost to them
in the bronze-medal match.
Going by stats, the game
on Sunday promises to be
thrilling. Talking about In-
dia’s opponent, Savita said,
“Even though as a team, we
would be focused on our
own performance, England
and India have faced off in
some very close encounters
and undoubtedly a rivalry
has developed over the past
three-four years in particu-
lar.
“Some of our players
want to challenge their
goalkeeper Maddie Hinge,
who has been quite excep-
tional at the goalpost. And
they also have some very
experienced players like
Laura Unsworth, Giselle
Ansley, their Captain Hollie
Pearne-Webb and Lily
Owsley who will bring
their ‘A’ game against us,”
Savita added.
Sakshi Malik on Saturday
revealed that she has gone
through a tough time in the
last two years but the na-
tional trials helped in get-
ting her ‘confidence’ and
‘mojo’ back and the
wrestler is determined to
win the medal at the Com-
monwealth Games, sched-
uled to begin from July 28
in Birmingham.
Sakshi had grabbed a
place in the 62kg weight cat-
egory in the national squad
in May. It had taken the 29-
year-old Sakshi five bouts
to finally beat her nemesis
— 20-year-old Sonam Malik
— in the selection trials to
earn that place.
The 2014 Olympics
wrestling bronze medallist
recently won the gold
medal at the UWW Ranking
Series in Kazakhstan. How-
ever, the grappler believes
that it was the national tri-
al that gave her more confi-
dence than the Ranking Se-
ries triumph.
“I have been struggling
for the last two years. And
when I won the trials (for
CWG) I was so relieved at
that time. Yes, I bagged gold
in Ranking. It was also im-
portant but the win in the
trials was something I felt
great about.
“I can’t tell how tough
time was for me, losing
bouts made me feel bad and
I used to speak about my
problems with my husband
only and he would support
me. I never believed in ag-
gressive fighting, my style
is simple to attack and de-
fence but I faced rough
fights too. Hair pulling and
breaking fingers is what I
am talking about. One of
my opponents used to do it.
But I believe that when you
love a sport you must follow
what is right. And it helped
me,” an emotional Sakshi
said.

WASHINGTON

The United States qualified

for its first Olympic men’s
soccer tournament since
2008 when the Americans
beat Honduras 3-0 at San Pe-
dro Sula in the semifinals of
the Under-20 championship
of North and Central Amer-
ica and the Caribbean.
Paxten Aaronson of the
Philadelphia Union, an 18-
year-old brother of Leeds
midfielder Brenden Aaron-
son, scored in the third
minute on Friday night.
Alejandro Alvarado, who
made four appearances last
season for Portugal’s Vizela,
added a goal in the 23rd, and
Quinn Sullivan, Aaronson’s
Philadelphia teammate,
scored in the 43rd as the U.S.
earned a berth in the 16-na-
tion field at the 2024
Olympic tournament in
France.
Olympic men’s soccer is
limited to players under 23,
with each nation allowed
three wild cards over the
limit. After the U.S. failed in
three straight qualifying cy-
cles as many clubs refused
to make top players avail-
able, CONCACAF altered
qualifying from under-23
teams and included it as
part of its under-20 champi-
onship.
The U.S. was eliminated
from 2012 Olympic qualify-
ing when Sean Johnson al-
lowed Jaime Alas’ goal to go
in off his hands in second-
half stoppage time, giving El
Salvador a 3-3 draw in the
Americans’ group stage fi-
nale. The Americans lost a
2016 Olympics qualification
game to El Salvador 2-0, then
were beaten 3-2 by Colombia
in a two-leg playoff for an-
other berth.

Chief national coach Pullela
Gopichand is hopeful that
the country’s male shuttlers
will be able to reclaim the
gold in men’s singles and bet-
ter their record in doubles
event at the upcoming Com-
monwealth Games following
India’s epic Thomas Cup
win.
Indian shuttlers had
claimed an unprecedented
six medal, including two
golds, three silvers and a
bronze, at the 2018 edition of
Commonwealth Games.
Kidambi Srikanth and the
pairing of Chirag Shetty and
Satwiksairaj ankireddy had
finished second best at Gold
Coast but Gopichand feels
they can go the distance this
time after fashioning India’s
epic win in the Thomas Cup
in May. “As a team, for the
world, this performance
(Thomas Cup) means a lot.
We haven’t performed this
way at the team level, in the
men’s section especially,” the
48-year-old said here.
“It’s a huge thing, in gener-
al the team is excited and
very hopeful after the way we
performed in the Thomas
Cup. I’m hopeful that we
would do better than last
time.”Last year we won two
gold medals, can we do better
than that? But looking at the
Thomas Cup, I’m sure we
will have a chance to better
our records in the men’s sin-
gles and doubles.” Prakash
Padukone (1978) and Syed
Modi (1982) and Parupalli
Kashyap are the only Indian
men to win the coveted gold
at CWG, while Chirag and
Satwik had created history
by becoming the first-ever In-
dian pair to win a CWG
medal en route to bagging a
silver in 2018.The Birming-
ham showpiece will be held
from July 28 to August 8.
