WFI elections and results announcement set to take place on December 21

The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has scheduled its long-awaited elections for December 21, with results set to be announced on the same day, as per the returning officer&rsquo;s statement on Saturday. Justice (retd) MM Kumar, the returning officer, clarified that the entire electoral process, including polling, vote counting, and result declaration, will be conducted in one day. However, the outcome of these elections remains contingent on the decision of a writ petition pending in the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The WFI elections, which will take place during a Special General Body Meeting, will follow the electoral list prepared on August 7. This announcement dispels concerns that the electoral process might restart from scratch. As per the statement, all necessary steps had been completed by August 7, except for the actual polling, counting, and result declaration.
The elections were initially postponed due to a stay order by the Punjab and Haryana High Court just before the scheduled polling date on August 12, 2023. However, the Supreme Court recently lifted the stay, allowing the elections to proceed on December 21, 2023.
Following several delays and interruptions, including suspension by United World Wrestling for not holding timely elections, the WFI elections are now moving forward. The International Olympic Committee (IOC)-constituted ad-hoc committee, led by Bhupender Singh Bajwa, has been overseeing the WFI's operations since the sports ministry suspended the federation. The suspension came after allegations of sexual harassment against then-president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, leading to prolonged protests by wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik.
Indian wrestlers have been competing under the UWW flag in international events due to the national body's suspension. Bajwa confirmed that the elections would be held at the Olympic Bhawan, adhering to the agenda outlined in the notice issued on July 21, 2023.

India brace for stiff challenge in T20 Series against South Africa amid squad uncertainties | IND vs SA

Under Suryakumar Yadav's leadership, India recently trounced Australia 4-1. However, South Africa could surely prove to be a much tougher challenge at home.

Here's what to expect from the young Indian side.

#INDvSA

<h2>Under Suryakumar Yadav's leadership, India recently trounced Australia 4-1. However, South Africa could surely prove to be a much tougher challenge at home.</h2>

A young Indian outfit will be asked tough questions, answers to which might not be readily available when it faces a sturdy South African side in a three-match T20 International starting here on Sunday.
With injured skipper Hardik Pandya out till the start of IPL, lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah taking a break and not much clarity over Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma's T20 future ahead of the World Cup in June, one wouldn't be able to read much into either success or failure of the team in South Africa.
A clearer picture of India's core for the T20 showpiece would only emerge after a month of cash-rich IPL, with form and fitness at that point being the criteria for selection.
If Rohit and Virat are picked in the playing XI, the core will suddenly become very different from the team that is now touring 'Rainbow Nation'.
Suryakumar Yadav led side beat Australia 4-1 on fabulous batting tracks at home but even the most partisan Indian fan would agree that there was so much less at stake in a series that was held within 72 hours of the World Cup.
Australia's core bowling attack was rested and some of the seniors were so tired that they left for home after the third game, having spent almost nine weeks in India.
The South Africa series in that context is the last big international T20 series that India play followed by one against Afghanistan in mid-January.
Even with their pace bowling mainstays, Kagiso Rabada (rested) and Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi injured, the Proteas at home will be more than a handful.
Batting Combination conundrum
India are carrying 17 players for the T20 series and only three of them -- Shreyas Iyer, Mukesh Kumar and Ishan Kishan are also part of the 50-over format.
There will be multiple bone of contention, the openers and No. 3, who will have to shed their archaic safety-first approach that had been India's bane in previous T20 World Cups.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has already shown that he belongs to this level and Shubman Gill is now one of the first picks across formats while Ruturaj Gaikwad after his 52-ball-100 will be that much difficult to ignore.
And herein lies the problem as Ishan Kishan isn't a great option beyond No. 4 if the troika of Jaiswal, Gill and Gaikwad bat. And at No. 4 is India's No. 1 T20 batter and skipper Suryakumar Yadav, who is the only automatic choice as far as the T20 World Cup is concerned.
Then there is the wicketkeeper's slot where Kishan will have a stiff fight from Jitesh Sharma, who is evolving nicely as a finisher at No. 6.
There is a No. 5 slot where Shreyas, who is not exactly a slam-bang from the word "go" but an IPL skipper, is expected to be challenged with short-pitched stuff by the likes of Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee and Andile Phehlukwayo.
But if one plays Iyer, then there would be no place for Rinku Singh, another designated finisher, who himself said on BCCI.TV, that he will be batting at No.5.
In case Kishan doesn't find a place in the top four, then Jitesh is the option at No. 6.
For the likes of Ruturaj, Jaiswal, Rinku and Jitesh, the extra bounce on offer at Kingsmead will pose a different sort of challenge as those with superior back-foot play will be paramount.
Bowling picks are easier&nbsp;
The Indian bowling attack was put to the sword by Australia in most games but in South Africa, the length would be doubly important as the younger crop might find it enticing to dig it in due to the extra bounce.
While there won't be Quinton de Kock in the mix anymore, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, skipper Aiden Markram, hard-hitting Tristan Stubbs and new batting sensation Matthew Breetzske could make life difficult for Indian bowlers.
While Ravindra Jadeja is the vice-captain in this series and is expected to bat at No.7, Axar Patel, who hasn't been picked for the series, will certainly be around when squad for the marquee event is selected.
The second spinner will certainly be googly specialist Ravi Bishnoi, who is now the world's No. 1 ranked T20 spinner.
Deepak Chahar, Arshdeep Singh and Mukesh Kumar are expected to be the three straight-forward pace bowling choices.

<h2>22-year-old uncapped opener from Karnataka, Vrinda Dinesh, who impressed for India A team against England A, was bought for ₹1.3 Crore.</h2>

Uncapped Indian batter Vrinda Dinesh proved to be the surprise pick of WPL Auction so far, fetching a price of ₹1.3 Crore. The 22-year-old opener from Karnataka, known for her impressive performances with the India A team against England A, will now don the colors of UP Warriorz in the upcoming WPL 2024.
Vrinda's cricketing journey has been marked by dedication and skill, evident in her idolization of Meg Lanning and active participation in trials conducted by all five WPL franchises during the off-season. Her standout performances earlier this year played a pivotal role in Karnataka's journey to the final of the Senior Women's one-day competition. Finishing as the third-highest run-getter, Vrinda amassed 477 runs in 11 innings at an impressive average of 47.70, including a notable 81 in the semi-final against Rajasthan.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore also strengthened their bowling lineup with the addition of Indian left-arm spinner Ekta Bisht, secured for ₹60 Lakh, and England pacer Kate Cross, who was acquired at her base price of ₹30 Lakh. <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/wpl-2024-auction-annabel-sutherland-biggest-buy-at-2-cr-phoebe-litchfield-sold-for-1-cr-1702119876225">WPL Auction: Annabel Sutherland joint-biggest buy so far, Phoebe Litchfield sold for 1 Crore</a>

<h2 class="slug">Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has finally opened up about his spat with Virat Kohli during IPL 2023.</h2>

Gautam Gambhir has been making headlines in recent days for his ugly spat with S Sreesanth during Legends League Cricket match in which Sreesanth alleged that Gambhir called him a 'fixer' and now, the former Indian cricketer has opened up on his post-match altercation with Virat Kohli during IPL 2023.

When Gautam Gambhir was questioned about the fight, he discussed it candidly on the ANI podcast. The former Indian opener claimed he had every right to defend his players following the game and that no one could come and walk over them.

&ldquo;As a mentor, no one can come and walk over my players and I&rsquo;ve got a very different belief. Till the time game was on, I had no right to interfere but once the game was over, if someone still gets into a heated argument with my players, I&rsquo;ve got all the rights to defend them,&rdquo; said Gautam Gambhir.
What happened between Gambhir-Kohli?
It all began with an altercation between LSG's Naveen-ul-Haq and Virat Kohli during the 16th over of 2nd innings during IPL match between RCB vs LSG . The star batter for the RCB, Virat Kohli, was not pleased with what Naveen-ul-Haq said to him when he approached him. Amit Mishra of LSG intervened to defuse the situation, but he ended up getting into a fight.
Virat Kohli and LSG coach Gautam Gambhir later engaged in a heated discussion about what happened on the field during the game. Attempts to calm Gautam Gambhir down and remove him from the ground were met with an angry expression from the LSG mentor. Even after Gautam Gambhir was shown all the details by Virat Kohli, the veteran player was still not impressed.&nbsp;
What's next for Gambhir?
Following the conclusion of IPL 2023, Gautam Gambhir left Lucknow Super Giants as a team mentor and joined his previous IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders as a mentor. Gambhir had previously led KKR from 2011 to 2017, winning two titles.

<h2>Bengaluru FC are having a tough season, currently positioned in the ninth slot on the ISL table with one victory, four losses, and as many draws.</h2>

Bengaluru FC have announced the departure of head coach Simon Grayson and assistant coach Neil McDonald amid a challenging ISL 2023-24 season. Following a decisive 0-4 home defeat against Mumbai FC in their recent match, the club and the coaching staff mutually agreed to part ways.
Former Indian footballer Renedy Singh has been appointed as the interim head coach until a permanent replacement is secured. The decision to make changes in the coaching staff comes as Bengaluru FC face a tough season, currently positioned in the ninth slot on the ISL table with one victory, four losses, and an equal number of draws from nine matches.
Grayson, who assumed the role ahead of the 2022-2023 season, led Bengaluru FC to a runner-up finish in the last season of the ISL and the Super Cup, along with securing victory in the Durand Cup. Despite these previous successes, the team's performance in the current season has prompted the decision for a coaching reshuffle.
