Former U-23 Asian Championships Bronze medallist Lalit will be challenging for gold in the men’s 55kg Greco-Roman category in the Asian Wrestling Championships in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Tuesday, while two more Indian wrestlers will be aiming for the bronze medal.
Twenty-three-year old Lalit dominated China’s Huoying Shi in the semifinal to register an 11-3 victory before Aman (77kg Greco Roman) and former champion Sunil Kumar (87kg Greco Roman) went down in their respective semifinal on a mixed opening day for the Indian contingent.
Lalit, who had bagged the bronze medal in the Muhamet Malo Wrestling meet last month, will now take on 2025 Asian Championships bronze medallist Ikhtiyor Botirov of Uzbekistan after he defeated the local favourite Ulan Uulu in the second semi-final 5-3.
In the 77kg Greco-Roman semifinal, Aman went down against Zagreb Open gold medallist Ali Oskou of Iran, 13-3. The Indian, who had reversed a 1-4 deficit to win 6-4 against China’s Halishan Bahejiang in the quarterfinal, will now face Yeonghun Noh of South Korea in the bronze medal match. 2020 Asian champion Sunil Kumar lost his 87kg Greco-Roman semifinal against Gholamreza Farokhisenjani of Iran 0-8.
In the 65kg Greco-Roman weight category, Sunny Kumar went down in the qualification round against Saifulla Kurman of Kazakhstan and was eliminated. Also, being knocked out was Joginder Rathee in the men’s 130kg Greco-Roman category after he went down in the quarterfinal against South Korea’s Minseok Kim. The Korean then lost the semifinal against Mirzazadeh of Iran to end the Indian’s hope for a repechage round.
Five more Indians — Sahil (60kg GR), Sachin Sahrawat (67kg GR), Anil (72kg GR), Prince (82kg GR) and Nitesh (97kg GR) will be in action on Tuesday.

सीएम योगी सोमवार को गोरखपुर जर्नलिस्ट्स प्रेस क्लब की नई कार्यकारिणी के शपथ ग्रहण समारोह को बतौर मुख्य अतिथि संबोधित कर रहे थे। सिविल लाइंस स्थित गोरखपुर क्लब सभागार में आयोजित इस समारोह में मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि आज पत्रकारिता में विभिन्न प्रकार की चुनौतियां हैं। प्रिंट, विजुअल, डिजिटल व सोशल मीडिया के तौर पर पत्रकारिता के कई स्वरूप हैं। परिवारों में भी प्रत्येक सदस्य का रुझान मीडिया के अलग-अलग रूप के प्रति रहता है। पत्रकारिता के इन सभी रूपों को समग्रता के साथ जोड़ने की आवश्यकता है। प्रिंट व विजुअल मीडिया के अपने कुछ मानक हैं, अपनी आचार संहिता है। किंतु, सोशल मीडिया को अभी इससे जोड़ना है।
सीएम योगी ने कहा कि पत्रकारिता को आत्म-नियमन से मूल्यों व आदर्शों के साथ आगे बढ़ना है। भारत में 200 वर्ष की पत्रकारिता का मूलभाव राष्ट्र सेवा, समाज सेवा व ‘एक भारत-श्रेष्ठ भारत’ का भाव रहा है। हमें इसी भाव के साथ आगे बढ़ना चाहिए। मीडिया में एक ऐसा भी वर्ग है, जो समाज को गुमराह करके अशांति फैलाने का कार्य करता है। हमें मीडिया के ऐसे रूप से बचने की आवश्यकता है। यदि सोशल मीडिया तथा प्रिंट मीडिया में एक ही खबर में भिन्नता होती है, तो वह जन-मानस को विचलित करती है। यह दुविधा की स्थिति खतरनाक होती है। हमें प्रयास करना चाहिए कि ऐसी स्थिति नहीं हो। सरकार मूल्यों व आदर्शों पर आधारित पत्रकारिता के साथ सदैव खड़ी है।
आलोचना को व्यक्तिगत रंजिश नहीं मानना चाहिए
मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि लोकतंत्र संवाद से चलता है। संवाद में आलोचना हो सकती है, किंतु इस आलोचना को व्यक्तिगत रंजिश नहीं मानना चाहिए। जब हम एक सूत्र की मनोस्थिति से कार्य करते हैं, तो सदैव सार्थक परिणाम सामने आते हैं। पत्रकारिता समाज का आईना होती है। पत्रकारिता जिस दृष्टि से समाज के मुद्दों को प्रस्तुत करती है, समाज उसी दृष्टि से उसे समझता है। पत्रकारिता को जन-विश्वास प्रतीक के रूप में बने रहने के लिए सही और गलत के प्रति एक भाव में रहना चाहिए। पत्रकारिता में किसी भी मुद्दे पर दो भाव नहीं होने चाहिए, क्योंकि तब यह जन-विश्वास पर कुठाराघात करता है।
यह वर्ष हिंदी पत्रकारिता के लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण
मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि विपरीत परिस्थितियों में भी पत्रकारिता ने भारतीय लोकतंत्र को मजबूती दी है। यह वर्ष हिंदी पत्रकारिता के लिए बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है, क्योंकि 200 वर्ष पहले हिंदी पत्रकारिता की शुरूआत 30 मई 1826 को कोलकाता से हुई थी, जब जुगुल किशोर शुक्ल ने हिंदी के पहले समाचार पत्र उदंत मार्तण्ड का शुभारंभ किया था। जब उन्होंने पत्र निकाला, तब देश गुलाम था। उन्होंने देश की आजादी के स्वर को तेज करने के लिए पत्रकारिता को माध्यम बनाया था। 200 वर्ष से बिना रुके, बिना थके, बिना डिगे पत्रकारिता की यह शानदार यात्रा आगे बढ़ रही है।
सही तथ्य से होता है मजबूत जन-विश्वास का निर्माण
मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि पत्रकारिता जब एक सामान्य व्यक्ति के स्वर के साथ अपना स्वर मिलाती है, और सही तथ्यों को जनता के सम्मुख रखती है, तब एक मजबूत जन-विश्वास का निर्माण होता है। जो पत्रकारिता जन-विश्वास का प्रतीक बनती है, उसे दुनिया की कोई शक्ति विचलित नहीं कर सकती। पत्रकारिता ने कठिन मार्गों का अनुसरण करते हुए सदैव अपने लक्ष्यों को प्राप्त किया है। सीएम योगी ने स्वतंत्रता आंदोलन और देशसेवा के लिए महात्मा गांधी, बाल गंगाधर तिलक, गणेश शंकर विद्यार्थी, अटल बिहारी वाजपेयी द्वारा भी पत्रकारिता को माध्यम बनाने का जिक्र किया। उन्होंने बताया कि बाल गंगाधर तिलक ने 1916 में लखनऊ से ‘स्वराज मेरा जन्मसिद्ध अधिकार है’ के नारे को पत्रकारिता के माध्यम से जन-मानस में संचारित किया था। वर्ष 2017 में इस नारे के 100 वर्ष पूरे होने पर प्रदेश सरकार द्वारा विभिन्न कार्यक्रम आयोजित किए गए।
विघटनकारी शक्तियों की चुनौती हमेशा सामने
मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि भारतीय पत्रकारिता का आधार हमारे उपनिषदों से प्रेरित रहा है। यह प्रेरणा उपनिषदों की ‘सत्यमेव जयते’ सूक्ति से प्राप्त होती है। समाज में विघटनकारी शक्तियों की चुनौती पत्रकारिता के सामने हमेशा रही है। ये शक्तियां पत्रकारिता की स्वतंत्रता को बाधित करती रही हैं। इन बाधाओं से विचलित हुए बिना हमें इसको बढ़ाए रखना है, क्योंकि हमारी पत्रकारिता उपनिषदों के मूल्यों पर आधारित है, जहां सत्य की निश्चित विजय का भाव समाहित है।
अपराध व भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ जीरो टॉलरेंस की नीति निरंतर जारी
मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि सरकार ने अपराध व अपराधियों तथा भ्रष्टाचार व भ्रष्टाचारियों के प्रति जीरो टॉलरेंस की नीति को निरंतर जारी रखा है। समाज के प्रत्येक वर्ग को जन कल्याणकारी योजनाओं का लाभ प्राप्त हो रहा है। सरकार ने पत्रकारों के लिए भी विभिन्न आवासीय योजनाएं चलाई हैं। मान्यता प्राप्त पत्रकारों को कैशलेस चिकित्सा सुविधा का लाभ दिया जा रहा है।
तीन करोड़ की आबादी गोरखपुर पर निर्भर
मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि आज तीन करोड़़ की आबादी शिक्षा, व्यापार व रोजगार हेतु गोरखपुर महानगर पर निर्भर है। पूर्वी यूपी, पश्चिमी बिहार और नेपाल की एक बड़ी आबादी गोरखपुर पर निर्भर रहती है। गोरखपुर में पत्रकारिता की दिशा, लोगों के मन में राष्ट्रभक्ति के भाव को बढ़ाने वाली होनी चाहिए। आत्मनिर्भर विकसित भारत की संकल्पना को आगे बढ़ाने में पत्रकारिता को मजबूती के साथ आगे आना चाहिए। यह बेहद महत्वपूर्ण होगा।
मुख्यमंत्री ने कहा कि गोरखपुर जर्नलिस्ट्स प्रेस क्लब की स्थापना 1998 में हुई। इसमें शामिल सदस्यों को तत्कालीन मुख्यमंत्री कल्याण सिंह का सानिध्य प्राप्त था। मुझे विगत वर्ष भी गोरखपुर प्रेस क्लब के सदस्यों के शपथ ग्रहण समारोह में शामिल होने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ था। गोरखपुर प्रेस क्लब की स्थापना में अध्यक्ष के रूप में एसपी त्रिपाठी तथा सचिव के रूप में अरविन्द शुक्ला ने महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका का निर्वहन किया था। सरकार द्वारा प्रेस क्लब को एक भव्य भवन दिया गया, जहां पत्रकारिता के कार्य को सुगमता से सम्पन्न किया जा रहा है।
महापौर डॉ. मंगलेश श्रीवास्तव ने दिलाई शपथ
समारोह में महापौर डॉ. मंगलेश श्रीवास्तव ने गोरखपुर जर्नलिस्ट्स प्रेस क्लब की नई कार्यकारिणी के पदाधिकारियों अध्यक्ष ओंकार धर द्विवेदी, उपाध्यक्ष धनेश कुमार, महामंत्री पंकज श्रीवास्तव, संयुक्त मंत्री महेंद्र गौड़, कोषाध्यक्ष दुर्गेश यादव, पुस्तकालय मंत्री संजय कुमार, कार्यकारिणी सदस्य मनोज कुमार मिश्रा, रजनीश त्रिपाठी और अजीत सिंह को शपथ दिलाई। कार्यक्रम में स्वागत संबोधन प्रेस क्लब अध्यक्ष ओंकार धर द्विवेदी ने, जबकि संचालन गजेंद्र त्रिपाठी और प्रेम पराया ने किया।
इस अवसर पर सांसद रवि किशन शुक्ल, विधान परिषद सदस्य एवं भाजपा के प्रदेश उपाध्यक्ष डॉ. धर्मेंद्र सिंह, राज्य महिला आयोग की उपाध्यक्ष चारू चौधरी, कालीबाड़ी के महंत रविंद्रदास, दैनिक जागरण के स्थानीय संपादक मदन मोहन सिंह, अमर उजाला के स्थानीय संपादक विनीत सक्सेना, राष्ट्रीय सहारा के पीयूष बंका, दैनिक आज के अखिलेश चंद, स्वतंत्र चेतना के आनंद जी वैश्य सहित बड़ी संख्या में पत्रकारों की सहभागिता रही। Edited by : Sudhir Sharma

मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ ने कहा है कि पत्रकारिता के विभिन्न आयामों प्रिंट, विजुअल, डिजिटल व सोशल मीडिया के बीच परस्पर समन्वय होना आवश्यक है। यदि किसी एक ही तथ्य को मीडिया के अलग-अलग आयाम भिन्न-भिन्न तरीके व दृष्टिकोण से प्रस्तुत करेंगे तो आम जन-मानस के सामने कन्फ्यूजन की स्थिति होगी। ऐसी स्थिति मीडिया के प्रति जन-विश्वास को भी प्रभावित करेगी। इसलिए यह आवश्यक है कि मीडिया के सभी अंग समान मानक, मूल्यों व आदर्शों के अनुरूप आगे बढ़ें।

#Deadspin #Padres #offense #waking #time #torrid #Pirates #await">Deadspin | Padres’ offense waking up just in time as torrid Pirates await
Apr 5, 2026; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; San Diego Padres third baseman Manny MacHado (13) celebrates his three run home run against the Boston Red Sox with /right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (23) during the fifth inning at Fenway Park. Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-Imagn Images The San Diego Padres are starting to improve following a rough start to the season as they head to Pittsburgh to face the red-hot Pirates on Monday night in the opener of a three-game set.
The Padres won a series for the first time this season when they beat the Red Sox in Boston in back-to-back games, including 8-6 on Sunday.
San Diego’s anemic offense, which entered the day with a major-league-worst .190 batting average and .553 OPS, woke up thanks to Manny Machado, Xander Bogaerts and Jackson Merrill, who combined for eight of the Padres’ 12 hits in the Sunday victory.
The Padres will need the production to continue on Monday when they send German Marquez (0-1, 12.00 ERA) to the mound to oppose fellow right-hander Bubba Chandler (0-0, 0.00) as San Diego attempts to stop Pittsburgh’s five-game winning streak.
Machado hit his first home run of the season Sunday as the Padres scored the most runs they’ve had in a game this season. It was only the second time in nine games that San Diego scored more than three runs in a contest.
Both of those games have come during this stretch of three wins in four games.
“Just to see Jackson go 3-for-5, Manny go 2-for-4, and Bogaerts go 3-for-3, if we get those guys moving the baseball the way they did today, we’re going to win a lot of baseball games,” Padres manager Craig Stammen said on Sunday.
Marquez could use the offensive backup following a rough first start last Tuesday against San Francisco. He was pulled after three innings after allowing four runs on eight hits, including a pair of home runs, and one walk. He struck out one on 65 pitches in a 9-3 loss.
Marquez has had success in his career against the Pirates, however, going 6-1 with a 1.89 ERA in seven starts.
Chandler will make his sixth career start and first ever against San Diego.
His first start of the season had mostly positive results with one glaring issue — walks. Chandler tossed 4 1/3 hitless innings, allowed only one unearned run and struck out six in a no-decision in an 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. But he walked six and threw 81 pitches.
Chandler touched 100 mph on his fastball but wasn’t happy with his command.
“I just wasn’t executing,” he said after the start. “The confidence was probably not where it needed to be. We had a great lead. My job is to go out there and three up, three down, quick innings, let our boys get back in and hit. I think as the game went on, it was more about trying to go do something, rather than just going out there and doing it.”
Thanks largely to offseason acquisitions Brandon Lowe and Ryan O’Hearn, and a strong offensive start by Oneil Cruz, Pittsburgh has shown the power at the plate it lacked last season with 12 home runs in nine games.
The Pirates also are seeing offensive production from welcome sources such as Nick Yorke, who started at third base a day after infielder Jared Triolo was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee injury.
Yorke delivered the walk-off hit in Saturday’s victory over the Orioles, and had another hit on Sunday. As a corresponding move with Triolo’s IL placement, Pittsburgh recalled outfielder Billy Cook from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Apr 5, 2026; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; San Diego Padres third baseman Manny MacHado (13) celebrates…
Rachin Ravindra may not have featured for Kolkata Knight Riders so far in this edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), but the New Zealand all-rounder insists patience, perspective and constant evolution remain central to his approach as he navigates selection competition, the demands of three-format cricket and the rapidly shifting T20 landscape.
On waiting for his chance at KKR
“I wouldn’t ever really call it frustrating. First of all, it’s great to be part of a new franchise and it’s such a great crew to be with. I’m enjoying my time here.
“For me, it’s understanding that the team is out there and I’m supporting them and I’m doing my best job to, one, help them prepare and, two, help us win games. And whether that’s part of the starting 12 or whether that’s on the bench or whatever it looks like. And that to me is important.

“As soon as you start to feel frustrated and stuff like that, you naturally think a little bit more negative about things. So for me, it’s just about getting better.
“Obviously, you always want to play games, but I’ve played a lot of cricket of late and even if I’m not playing, it’s about contributing to the team. I realise there are a lot of talented cricketers in this team. And if you’re missing out to, say, Finn Allen and Cameron Green, or Sunil Narine, or the likes of them, you have to understand that those are class players and they obviously make up the structure of the team. So, it doesn’t bother me too much.”
On back-to-back heartbreak in ICC finals against India
“It probably still hurts. I think it always is going to. And there are times I think back and hindsight is a great thing. So there’s a million things that go through your head and little decisions you feel could have made a difference. Maybe, it doesn’t. Obviously, it’s hurtful to have it two years in a row and we were a lot closer in the Champions Trophy final.
“Both games were extremely disappointing. But again, that’s cricket. There’s always going to be a winner and a loser. And India is a very, very good team, especially in those conditions of Dubai and in India, you know, it is a quality unit which has played so much cricket here.

“There are always learnings about yourself — about batting, bowling — and also about clarity and decision making under pressure. And there’s all those things. As a team, I’m sure we’ve had a bit of time off, and we’ll come together later as a T20 group, especially later in the year, to discuss that.
“The crazy thing about cricket is that it always moves on, right? I think that’s always going to be in the back of your head. But there’s always the next challenge. And that’s great. It means you can’t really dwell on what has happened. Obviously, like I said, take what you can and move on. That World Cup was a great learning curve for me and I have brought some brilliant learnings to Kolkata.”
On dealing with pressure, setbacks and perspective
“It’s a question that we’re all still trying to work out. Mostly for me, I’ve got some great mentors around me, and I lean on them, especially in that New Zealand setup. And I played under some brilliant captains. I’ve got Kane Williamson there, Mitchell Santner, all these guys to bounce ideas off.
“I speak to Kane a lot and then read, do a little bit of self-discovery for myself. And then it’s about being patient. It might seem like a small career and only a period of time in our lives, but for me, it’s calmness and patience that matters. I genuinely believe that everything happens for a reason. If you don’t believe that, then it’s hard to be sane, you know.
“As a player, you also need to accept that failure is part of our game. And it depends on what you see failure like, right? Is failure just not scoring runs? It’s probably not that. We all want to score runs. I think Rahul Dravid said this a while ago that, ‘You’re going to fail more than you succeed, especially as a batter…’

“So, you have got to accept that you’re going to come to terms with that. But again, not scoring runs isn’t the failure. The failure is not consistently trying to improve yourself. And if you get too caught up in that, that’s when it stacks up and you’re trying to prove to others who you are and trying to show this and that.
“But that’s not really me. I’m just here. Obviously, I love enjoying the game and I love trying to get better each and every time. That’s important. That’s something I can measure it all by. And all the other stuff and noise doesn’t really matter because, again, you’re not here just for personal accolades. It’s a team game, although you want to do as well as you can. But as soon as you start leaning too much towards that, you’re in trouble.
“And if I look back to the Champions Trophy game against Bangladesh last year, I was very lucky to walk away with just a little scar leading up to the game (during the tri-series in Pakistan).
“But I was very lucky. Otherwise, an inch down and my career would have probably been over as my eye would be gone. So, these things obviously happen and you never want them to happen, but they give you perspective.
“Perspective is probably the biggest thing in our game — realising we get to do what we love for a living. And that’s important. Then there are so many things that happen to get us to this stage. So that’s at least how I see it and it helps me deal with it all.”

On adapting to evolving T20 demands
“I think that’s going to be the ever-evolving thing about our game, right? I think we see how T20 is evolving. And if you’re not able to evolve as a player, then you’re going to be left behind.
“There are plenty of guys who are in that mould who can consistently do it. You only look at Virat Kohli, who does the same thing, he sort of takes his time, but has also transformed his T20 game over the last two or three years.
“So, the beauty is if the ability and skill is there, then you can transfer it across formats. And that, to me, is a challenge. I love playing all three formats. It’s a brilliant challenge. You love Test cricket, it’s beautiful. But then this part’s the freedom, right?
“And you’ve almost got to give away the notion of your wicket. In the other formats, your pride lies in spending so much time in the crease. And I’m naturally a strokemaker, so that does help. But I think when you come to this format (T20), it’s about how you can push the team forward and forget about your wicket.
“And also little technical changes which allow you to do that. But that’s always going to be the challenge for the all-format cricketer.”
On managing workload across formats
“It’s always going to be a challenge. So, if you look at it this way, me missing out on a couple of games here is actually not the worst thing for my game. We’ve got Chris Donaldson, strength & conditioning coach from New Zealand here as well. He’s an amazing guy.
“On most days, I am in the gym and running on game days and stuff, which helps build that over time, makes me prepared for what’s to come. And also the quality of training you can get here in India is outstanding, with Watto (Shane Watson), Abhishek Nayar around. So we’ve got a great crew, I am learning from them as well. It allows you to have those little training blocks when you think you might not have.
“That’s always going to be a challenge in terms of finding rest because since the ODI World Cup 2023, I really haven’t had a break. I’ve been very grateful for it because I’ve been able to play three formats and also franchise cricket around the world. But I think that there is a time where you probably do need to have a mental break and relax.
“I’ll get that at the end of The Hundred this year, sort of mid-to-late August until India comes to New Zealand. I’ve got a good almost two months to rest up and work on a few things and work on my body.”

On learning from multiple coaches and having New Zealand teammates around
“It’s ultimately up to the player. I think it’s awesome having all these coaches, who are very good at what they do. They’re able to filter through what they say and it’s not just information after information. Then it’s on us as players to take what we need and make that our own. You never listen to everything blindly and you also never ignore everything because these guys are here to help you.
“They are different people, and earlier in my career, especially in the IPL, the amount of information could feel overwhelming because there’s stats, analysis, match-ups and so much data. But with experience, you get better at filtering what works for you.
“And it’s obviously nice to have the Kiwi guys here. We hang out a lot and when you’re in a long tournament away from home, it’s nice to have familiar faces around you. That’s what makes the New Zealand environment so good — we’re all such good mates.”

Rachin Ravindra may not have featured for Kolkata Knight Riders so far in this edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), but the New Zealand all-rounder insists patience, perspective and constant evolution remain central to his approach as he navigates selection competition, the demands of three-format cricket and the rapidly shifting T20 landscape.
On waiting for his chance at KKR
“I wouldn’t ever really call it frustrating. First of all, it’s great to be part of a new franchise and it’s such a great crew to be with. I’m enjoying my time here.
“For me, it’s understanding that the team is out there and I’m supporting them and I’m doing my best job to, one, help them prepare and, two, help us win games. And whether that’s part of the starting 12 or whether that’s on the bench or whatever it looks like. And that to me is important.

“As soon as you start to feel frustrated and stuff like that, you naturally think a little bit more negative about things. So for me, it’s just about getting better.
“Obviously, you always want to play games, but I’ve played a lot of cricket of late and even if I’m not playing, it’s about contributing to the team. I realise there are a lot of talented cricketers in this team. And if you’re missing out to, say, Finn Allen and Cameron Green, or Sunil Narine, or the likes of them, you have to understand that those are class players and they obviously make up the structure of the team. So, it doesn’t bother me too much.”
On back-to-back heartbreak in ICC finals against India
“It probably still hurts. I think it always is going to. And there are times I think back and hindsight is a great thing. So there’s a million things that go through your head and little decisions you feel could have made a difference. Maybe, it doesn’t. Obviously, it’s hurtful to have it two years in a row and we were a lot closer in the Champions Trophy final.
“Both games were extremely disappointing. But again, that’s cricket. There’s always going to be a winner and a loser. And India is a very, very good team, especially in those conditions of Dubai and in India, you know, it is a quality unit which has played so much cricket here.

“There are always learnings about yourself — about batting, bowling — and also about clarity and decision making under pressure. And there’s all those things. As a team, I’m sure we’ve had a bit of time off, and we’ll come together later as a T20 group, especially later in the year, to discuss that.
“The crazy thing about cricket is that it always moves on, right? I think that’s always going to be in the back of your head. But there’s always the next challenge. And that’s great. It means you can’t really dwell on what has happened. Obviously, like I said, take what you can and move on. That World Cup was a great learning curve for me and I have brought some brilliant learnings to Kolkata.”
On dealing with pressure, setbacks and perspective
“It’s a question that we’re all still trying to work out. Mostly for me, I’ve got some great mentors around me, and I lean on them, especially in that New Zealand setup. And I played under some brilliant captains. I’ve got Kane Williamson there, Mitchell Santner, all these guys to bounce ideas off.
“I speak to Kane a lot and then read, do a little bit of self-discovery for myself. And then it’s about being patient. It might seem like a small career and only a period of time in our lives, but for me, it’s calmness and patience that matters. I genuinely believe that everything happens for a reason. If you don’t believe that, then it’s hard to be sane, you know.
“As a player, you also need to accept that failure is part of our game. And it depends on what you see failure like, right? Is failure just not scoring runs? It’s probably not that. We all want to score runs. I think Rahul Dravid said this a while ago that, ‘You’re going to fail more than you succeed, especially as a batter…’

“So, you have got to accept that you’re going to come to terms with that. But again, not scoring runs isn’t the failure. The failure is not consistently trying to improve yourself. And if you get too caught up in that, that’s when it stacks up and you’re trying to prove to others who you are and trying to show this and that.
“But that’s not really me. I’m just here. Obviously, I love enjoying the game and I love trying to get better each and every time. That’s important. That’s something I can measure it all by. And all the other stuff and noise doesn’t really matter because, again, you’re not here just for personal accolades. It’s a team game, although you want to do as well as you can. But as soon as you start leaning too much towards that, you’re in trouble.
“And if I look back to the Champions Trophy game against Bangladesh last year, I was very lucky to walk away with just a little scar leading up to the game (during the tri-series in Pakistan).
“But I was very lucky. Otherwise, an inch down and my career would have probably been over as my eye would be gone. So, these things obviously happen and you never want them to happen, but they give you perspective.
“Perspective is probably the biggest thing in our game — realising we get to do what we love for a living. And that’s important. Then there are so many things that happen to get us to this stage. So that’s at least how I see it and it helps me deal with it all.”

On adapting to evolving T20 demands
“I think that’s going to be the ever-evolving thing about our game, right? I think we see how T20 is evolving. And if you’re not able to evolve as a player, then you’re going to be left behind.
“There are plenty of guys who are in that mould who can consistently do it. You only look at Virat Kohli, who does the same thing, he sort of takes his time, but has also transformed his T20 game over the last two or three years.
“So, the beauty is if the ability and skill is there, then you can transfer it across formats. And that, to me, is a challenge. I love playing all three formats. It’s a brilliant challenge. You love Test cricket, it’s beautiful. But then this part’s the freedom, right?
“And you’ve almost got to give away the notion of your wicket. In the other formats, your pride lies in spending so much time in the crease. And I’m naturally a strokemaker, so that does help. But I think when you come to this format (T20), it’s about how you can push the team forward and forget about your wicket.
“And also little technical changes which allow you to do that. But that’s always going to be the challenge for the all-format cricketer.”
On managing workload across formats
“It’s always going to be a challenge. So, if you look at it this way, me missing out on a couple of games here is actually not the worst thing for my game. We’ve got Chris Donaldson, strength & conditioning coach from New Zealand here as well. He’s an amazing guy.
“On most days, I am in the gym and running on game days and stuff, which helps build that over time, makes me prepared for what’s to come. And also the quality of training you can get here in India is outstanding, with Watto (Shane Watson), Abhishek Nayar around. So we’ve got a great crew, I am learning from them as well. It allows you to have those little training blocks when you think you might not have.
“That’s always going to be a challenge in terms of finding rest because since the ODI World Cup 2023, I really haven’t had a break. I’ve been very grateful for it because I’ve been able to play three formats and also franchise cricket around the world. But I think that there is a time where you probably do need to have a mental break and relax.
“I’ll get that at the end of The Hundred this year, sort of mid-to-late August until India comes to New Zealand. I’ve got a good almost two months to rest up and work on a few things and work on my body.”

On learning from multiple coaches and having New Zealand teammates around
“It’s ultimately up to the player. I think it’s awesome having all these coaches, who are very good at what they do. They’re able to filter through what they say and it’s not just information after information. Then it’s on us as players to take what we need and make that our own. You never listen to everything blindly and you also never ignore everything because these guys are here to help you.
“They are different people, and earlier in my career, especially in the IPL, the amount of information could feel overwhelming because there’s stats, analysis, match-ups and so much data. But with experience, you get better at filtering what works for you.
“And it’s obviously nice to have the Kiwi guys here. We hang out a lot and when you’re in a long tournament away from home, it’s nice to have familiar faces around you. That’s what makes the New Zealand environment so good — we’re all such good mates.”
