Rohini Rules Again For Maharashtra, Gayatri Gets Maiden National Wrestling Gold
1 2 3 Nagpur: Maharashtra's most experienced grappler and reigning Asian Games gold medallist, Rohini Khanu Devba of Kolhapur, won all the bouts she played without conceding a point to underline her supremacy in the Chief Minister's Cup U-15 National wrestling championship, which concluded at the indoor stadium of Divisional Sports Complex in Mankapur on Sunday. Maharashtra grapplers managed to clinch just two gold medals on the concluding day, with Haryana wrestlers stealing the thunder of the home state by winning the overall championship in all three categories. Maharashtra finished second by marginally falling short to Haryana in both the boys' and girls' freestyle events and in the Greco-Roman boys' group. While Maharashtra started their campaign on a high on Saturday, the home state grapplers fared poorly on the concluding day. The face-saving gold medals that Maharashtra won came in the girls' freestyle category, where Rohini lived up to her top billing, and Gayatri Shinde from Shirsodi village of Indapur Taluka in Pune, registered a thumping triumph. As many as five Maharashtra grapplers managed to reach the finals on Sunday but missed the India bus by losing their bouts. The champion wrestler in all the groups qualified to represent the country in the forthcoming Asian Championship. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Passos (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo In the girls' freestyle section, Rohini, 33kg weight category National and Asian Games champion, participated in the higher 36kg group. Much like her dominance during the Asian Championship held last year in Thailand, Rohini won all the bouts she played in the 36kg group without losing a single point. In the final, Rohini blanked Karnataka's Sushmita Kammar 10-0 to register a thumping triumph. Later in the evening, another small-town girl from Maharashtra, Gayatri Shinde, rallied from a point down to outclass Shrasti Kumar from Delhi 12-6 and win the 42kg gold medal. While Rohini and Gayatri sealed their Indian berth for the Asian Championship, Maharashtra's Ketaki Jadhav and Sharvari Rathod suffered heartbreaking losses in the finals. Ketaki lost the 62kg freestyle final to Uttar Pradesh's Ankita Kushavha, while Sharvari Rathod went down fighting to Punjab's Puravi Sharma in the controversial 66kg girls' summit clash 3-5. Of the 10 weight category U-15 boys' Greco-Roman event, three Maharashtra grapplers managed to reach the finals but suffered losses to win silver medals. In the 62kg final, Darpan Chaudhari failed to find the grip against Karnataka's Taimmeshi, losing the clash 4-13. Similarly, in the 85kg title round, Rahul Satkar went down fighting to UP's Suraj Sharma 9-14 in a high-scoring bout. Earlier, in an exciting 41kg final, Sachin Shirole of Maharashtra suffered a heartbreaking 6-8 defeat against Haryana's Monu Kumar. The four bronze medals that Maharashtra grapplers Sarthak Phuge, Dhiraj Daphale, Vinayak Tambekar, and Harshvardhan Patil won came in the 38kg, 48kg, 52kg, and 57kg weight categories respectively. Haryana wrestlers winning in all the categories clinched the general championship. Despite failing to win a gold medal, Maharashtra Greco-Roman wrestlers finished second, collecting 147 points. Haryana finished on top of the table with 157 points, while Rajasthan came third with 116 points. In the girls' freestyle group, Haryana edged out Maharashtra by nine points (171-161). Delhi, with 139 points, finished third. Similarly, in the boys' freestyle event, Haryana (155) outclassed Maharashtra (137) by 18 points. Later, in the concluding ceremony, president of Maharashtra Wrestling Association and former MP Ramdas Tadas, president of the organising committee and MLC Sandip Joshi, Hindkesari Yogesh Dhoke, NMC sports officer Piyush Ambulkar, and other WFI officials distributed the prizes.

Desi Boyz take over Oxford as Bollywood beats light up historic halls in viral dance video
Oxford University witnessed an unexpected cultural crossover as alumnus Druv Punjabi and his crew filmed a lively Bollywood dance video to Desi Boyz across its iconic campus. From Lady Margaret Hall to stone pathways, the reel blends Indian energy with British legacy, going viral on Instagram and winning hearts for its joyful celebration of desi identity in elite spaces. (Screenshots: Instagram/ druvphk) It's not every day that the ancient, ivy-covered walls of Oxford University groove to a Bollywood beat. But on June 21, 2025, that's exactly what happened — virtually, at least — when alumnus Druv Punjabi and his crew unleashed a vibrant, high-energy dance video shot across some of Oxford's most iconic spots. The song of choice? None other than the foot-tapping anthem Desi Boyz. Posted on Instagram via @druvphk, the video features a group of young men in modern outfits executing flawless Bollywood choreography in locations like Lady Margaret Hall, gardens, stone corridors, and open courtyards — the kind of places more accustomed to academic robes than dance rehearsals. In a perfect clash of cultures, the video showcases what happens when the traditions of one of the world's oldest universities meet the charisma and colour of Indian cinema. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Druv Punjabi (@druvphk) The video caption itself set the tone: 'Check out this incredible Bollywood dance video filmed at Lady Margaret Hall and other iconic Oxford spots – created by alumnus Druv Punjabi and crew 🕺'. Since its posting, it has racked up over 30,000 views and hundreds of heartwarming reactions celebrating the cultural fusion. Netizens have been quick to cheer on the crew. One user wrote, 'God bless you Desi Boys — lovely to see Indian culture coming through at the University of Oxford ❤️'. Another gushed, 'Oxford gets a taste of Bollywood 🔥', while a third joked, 'Aah Bollywood making it to Oxford halls, seriously vocal for local working guys 😂'. The enthusiasm only amplified with comments like 'The halls of Oxford University echoing with Bollywood mashups 🙌❤️'. What makes the video special isn't just the choreography or the catchy track — it's the powerful symbolism behind the spectacle. Oxford, often seen as a bastion of Western academia, becomes a stage for South Asian pride and joyful cultural expression. In an era where cultural expression is often boxed into binaries of tradition and modernity, this video bursts through the frame with a colourful 'why not both?' The seamless blend of Oxford's regal surroundings with Bollywood's unmistakable energy creates a spectacle that's as moving as it is the 30,000 views and countless shares are impressive, what Druv Punjabi and his crew have pulled off is much more than a trending reel. It's a message: that identity is something to be danced with, celebrated, and fearlessly shared — even against the stone pillars of a 900-year-old institution.
