once again stood tall for India in the first Test against England at Leeds by grabbing a remarkable five-wicket haul despite a handful of dropped chances off his bowling. Bumrah finished with figures of 5 for 83 in 24.4 overs, showcasing his consistency even as fielding errors cost him potential extra wickets.
During the post-match press conference, Bumrah addressed the missed opportunities, saying he chooses not to dwell on them during a game. 'It is disappointing for a moment, but you cannot sit and cry about it. You have to move on quickly. I try not to overthink it and let it go. Many of these guys are new to this level and the conditions make it tough to spot the ball sometimes. No one drops catches on purpose and they will improve.
I do not want to create unnecessary pressure by reacting badly or showing anger,' Bumrah explained.

Despite three crucial dropped catches by Yashasvi Jaiswal, Bumrah's persistence earned him his tenth five-wicket haul in SENA countries, making him the first Indian to reach this milestone. He now sits just behind Pakistan's Wasim Akram, who has 11 such hauls in these challenging overseas venues. Bumrah has also equalled Kapil Dev's record of 12 five-wicket hauls in away Tests overall.

India's Day 3 Test Review: Cloudy skies ahead | Weather twist at Headingley
When asked about his decision not to take up the Indian Test captaincy, Bumrah revealed that managing his fitness was his top priority. 'It was not a big issue about captaincy. I wanted to focus on my body and spoke to my medical team. I do not want to let the team down by missing matches as a captain. There needs to be continuity in leadership and I felt it was better for me to contribute just as a player whenever I am fit. Nothing matters more than Indian cricket and winning games,' Bumrah shared.
Bumrah also spoke about the Headingley pitch and England's batting, saying the surface remains good for batting with only slight variable pace and expected swing. He believes India must build a big second-innings total to create a safety cushion for the bowlers.

He understands conditions well and keeps the bowler guessing. He can switch from aggressive to defensive play effectively. Next time, we will try to counter him better,' he said.

Bratya worried over fate of Netaji Subhas univ sports bill
1 2 3 Kolkata: Bengal education minister Bratya Basu on Monday expressed concern over the fate of the Netaji Subhas University of Sports and Entrepreneurship Bill, 2025, noting that three varsity bills were already stuck "in the cold storage of Raj Bhavan". "This will be the state's 48th university. I don't know whether this bill will face the same fate," Basu said in the assembly during a discussion on the legislation. Underlining the importance of public-private partnership in sports development, he said: "Private initiatives can play a vital role in producing athletes and this university aims to set that example — with the state playing the supportive role." The CM was leading this effort, Basu said, adding: "What we need now is strong resolve and inspiration. This institution will become a guiding light for future sporting disciplines. " The remarks came on a day when the Private University Bill was passed in the assembly amid loud protests and disruptions by opposition MLAs. While the opposition opposed the Sports University proposal, Basu criticised their absence during the debate. "They chose instead to play games with the marshals, who had to demonstrate their physical skills in return," he quipped. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Calcule cuánto podría ganar invirtiendo $100 en Amazon CFD y otras acciones de indetenible InvestIQ Solicita ahora Undo Citing Bengal's rising stature in Indian sports, the minister said: "For the first time, Bengal ranked among the top 10 states in sports." Referring to wrestler Sakshi Malik's performance at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Basu argued that while govts could lay the foundation, it was often private efforts that pushed athletes across the finish line. "Govts can't nurture everything. Sometimes, private players have to step in," he said.

Main goal for the season is the Worlds: Neeraj Chopra
Mumbai: For an athlete who has won every major accolade on offer in his sport, Neeraj Chopra continues to look for new peaks to conquer. On Tuesday, the 27-year-old javelin star is set to make his debut at the Ostrava Golden Spike meet. This will be Neeraj Chopra's fifth competition of the season, but he asserted that they are all stepping stones towards the World Championships in September. (REUTERS) He has long been waiting to compete in the eastern Czech city, but missed out in the last two seasons due to injury. 'When I was kid, I watched a lot of videos and photos of athletes (like) Usain Bolt competing here,' he said to the media in Ostrava ahead of the meet. 'I came last year but I didn't compete because of injury. Now I feel good, but I don't want to put any pressure on myself for 90m. But I'll try really hard.' Unable to compete at the last two editions, he has travelled to Ostrava fit and in good form. Just last week, he won the Paris Diamond League meet with a throw of 88.16m - his first Diamond League win since he clinched top spot at the Lausanne meet in 2023. But he also comes to Czechia having achieved that one missing achievement of crossing 90m. The 27-year-old has won gold medals at the Olympics, World Championships, Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games. But in May, he managed to join the illustrious 90m club when he threw his spear 90.23m at the Doha Diamond League meet. Central to the latest achievements is his new coach Jan Zelezny, who started working with Chopra in November. Zelezny, a three-time Olympic gold medallist is the current world record holder, having flung his javelin 98.48m at a meet in Jena, Germany in 1996. 'I'm really happy to work with such a great athlete and coach,' Chopra said. 'I've already thrown 90m this year after a little bit more improvement in technique, so let's see when it comes next time but I'm ready. Recently we've done a good training in Nymbuk (Czechia) so I'll do my best here in Ostrava.' This will be Chopra's fifth competition of the season, but he asserted that they are all stepping stones towards the World Championships in September, where the Indian is the defending champion. The Worlds will take place at the National Stadium in Tokyo, a venue Chopra has fond memories of. It was there, in 2021, that he became the second Indian, and the first from the country in athletics, to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual event. The man from Khandra, Haryana had become a household name after the achievement and continues to attract a large following wherever he went. 'After the Tokyo Olympics, a lot of people recognise me and sometimes it's tough. I don't know if it's a good habit or not, I can't say 'no' to anybody,' he said. 'Back then when I was 'nobody', I had a dream that people would know something about our sport. So now it would not be good if I would say no to people. And I'm happy that now in India people recognise other sports than cricket.' As he looks ahead to his return to Tokyo, he will take a detour in Bengaluru where a World Athletics gold-category javelin event will be held on July 5 - the Neeraj Chopra Classic. 'This will be my first really serious competition in India with international athletes,' he added. 'I still have to manage a lot of things before competition but it will be a good experience. After Bengaluru, I'll talk to my coach and set up the plans for the upcoming events till Tokyo. 'But the main goal for the season is obviously the World Championships.'
