India will try to strengthen its claim to host 2036 Olympics

India is eyeing to host the 2036 Olympics and Indian sports administrators will lobby hard for this during the Paris Olympics starting next month. The Mission Olympic Unit (MOC) of the Sports Authority of India on Thursday submitted a detailed report related to the claim to host the Olympics to the new Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya. In its report, the MOC has mentioned six sports, which can be included in the Olympics if India gets the right to host. These sports include yoga, kho-kho, kabaddi, chess, T-20 cricket and squash. If India is successful in getting the right to host, it will also try to include indigenous sports like yoga, kho-kho and kabaddi in it.

Olympics 2036

The rights to host the games have not been decided yet and the preferences of the host country will be discussed later. A decision on this is likely to be taken only after the election of the IOC President next year. If India gets the hosting, then the proposed games will first be included as exhibition games during the Olympic Games to be held in Brisbane in 2032. Only after this, these games will be considered for inclusion in the Olympics. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said during the IOC Congress in Mumbai last year that India is willing to host the Olympic Games to be held in 2036.

Olympic 2036 discussion

We met the new sports minister and handed over the report to him. He said it would take him a few days to read it. He also asked us to prepare another report on how sports can become a career option in the country and how interest in sports can be generated among the youth. The Olympic bid will be discussed after the Paris Olympics for which we are fully prepared, but we will have to lobby with the IOC (International Olympic Committee) during the Paris Olympics and we are fully prepared for that, a senior MOC member told news agency PTI.

Top Indian athletes to watch out for at Olympics 2024

The 2024 Olympics will be held in France from July 26 to August 11, 2024, with Paris as the main host city, along with 16 other cities spread across metropolitan France. India won its highest ever medal haul of seven in the previous edition of the quadrennial event, held in Tokyo in 2021. Here’s a look at the top-10 Indian athletes who have qualified for the upcoming Paris Games.

1. Neeraj Chopra

The javelin thrower became the second Indian after Abhinav Bindra to win an individual gold medal at the Olympics. Chopra, who is in great form, would look to replicate the same heroic performance to defend his title in Paris.

2. Avinash Sable

The steeplechase runner won a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. He is one of the most important athletes at the Paris Games.

3. Lovlina Borgohain

This promising boxer won a bronze medal in Tokyo and qualified for Paris in the women’s 75kg category. Will she go one step further this time and reach the final

4. Kishore Kumar Jena

The track and field athlete won a silver medal in javelin throw at the Asian Games last year, finishing behind Neeraj Chopra. He will be eager to prove his point on the biggest stage next month.

5. Vinesh Phogat

This wrestler was one of the faces of the wrestlers’ protest last year. She will compete in the women’s 50kg category at the Paris Games, hoping to recover from her disappointing performances in previous editions of the Olympics.

6. P.V. Sindhu

This shuttler won a silver medal at the 2016 Olympics and a bronze medal in Tokyo. P.V. Sindhu would like to win this title thrice this time and maybe even win a gold medal.

7. Lakshya Sen

8. Rohan Bopanna

The tennis veteran won the doubles title at the Australian Open with Matthew Ebden and reached the semi-finals of the French Open. He will pair up with N Sriram Balaji at the Paris Games and will hope to give India its first tennis medal at the quadrennial event since Leander Paes won bronze in Atlanta in 1996.

9. Manu Bhaker

This shooter will participate in the women’s 25m pistol event. Her performance in big events has not been good, but the consistency Bhaker has shown in qualifying for the Olympics shows that with age and maturity she can improve her game further.

10. Indian men’s hockey team

They ended a 41-year medal drought at the Olympic Games by winning a bronze medal in 2021. Although their form has dipped since then, the team has the potential to live up to expectations when the stakes are high in Paris.

Most runs in an over in T20 international history

The T20 format has always been brutal for bowlers. Historically, in T20 Internationals, bowlers have often faced the challenge of containing aggressive batsmen who try to score runs quickly and aggressively, especially in the death overs. Despite their best efforts, some bowlers have had to endure particularly expensive overs. In the meantime, we take a look at the five most expensive overs bowled in T20 International history.

Zimbabwe Ryan Burl rescued his team in the series decider by dismissing Bangladesh’s Nasum Ahmed for 34 runs in the 15th over of the first innings. From 67/6, Burl changed gears to take Zimbabwe to a competitive score and Nasum became his favorite target. Ryan Burl scored 34 runs off Nasum Ahmed’s bowling in the 15th over by hitting four sixes, a four and then a six. Thanks to Burl’s stormy batting, Zimbabwe scored 156 runs and won the match by 10 runs to beat Bangladesh in the three-match series.

4. Nicholas Pooran

The T20 World Cup 2024 saw some low scoring in the group stage, but in the third match played in St Lucia, West Indies scored 92 runs in the first six overs against Afghanistan, the highest powerplay score in a men’s T20 World Cup. Nicholas Pooran played a brilliant game in the second over of Azmatullah Umarzai and conceded 36 runs.

3. Dipendra Singh Airee

Nepal player Dipendra Singh Airee replicated Yuvraj Singh and Kieron Pollard’s iconic moment by hitting sixes in an over and scoring an unbeaten 64* against Qatar’s Kamran Khan in the 2024 ACC Men’s T20 Cup match. The incident took place at Al Amerat Cricket Ground, Oman 12. This was the third time a player created history by hitting sixes in an over.

2. Kieron Pollard

In a T20 International match in 2021, West Indies captain Kieron Pollard created history in an over against Sri Lanka’s Akila Dhananjaya. After Akila Dhananjaya took a hat-trick in the very first over, Pollard scored 38 runs off his 11 balls and West Indies achieved the target of 132 runs in the 14th over. This is the first time he has hit 6 sixes in an over in T20 International.

1. Yuvraj Singh

In the ICC World T20 played in Durban, South Africa in 2007, Yuvraj Singh created history by hitting a six in an over of England player Stuart Broad.
