'He has been playing superbly in all the matches...': Saikia on Rohit Sharma

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) held a review meeting on Thursday, which was attended by secretary Devajit Saikia, Team India's Test and ODI skipper Shubman Gill, T20I captain Shubman Gill, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and Centre of Excellence (CoE) head VVS Laxman and other board officials at the headquarters in Mumbai.

BCCI's secretary Saikia backed veteran opening batsman Rohit Sharma and dismissed the speculations surrounding his retirement from international cricket.

"He has been playing superbly in all the matches, so what more do you want? He scored 138 runs in the last match, so why is there any speculation? For now, I don't want to give any fodder to the speculators," he said. solvita.blog

The chairman of the senior men's selection committee, Ajit Agarkar, missed the BCCI's review meeting of India's limited-overs tours of Ireland and England, which in turn attracted plenty of attention.

Devajit Saikia expresses views on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi

He also said that the management wants teenage star batsman Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to serve the nation as legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar did in the past.

"You see, the BCCI can be proud that we are promoting a player of the age of 15 years who is already making his mark in the international scenario and we are very cautious that every right step he should take forward so that it should not be a one series or one year wonder. We want Vaibhav Sooryavanshi or any player of his stature to continue and serve like Sachin Tendulkar did for the country or other players who in the past became legends so we look at Vaibhav in a very serious manner. He's monitored from every angle and every step he is taking forward in his international career. The BCCI is taking a very close look at his future," said Saikia.

Recently, at the age of just 15 years and 157 days, he became the youngest player to score a half-century in the history of the Duleep Trophy, breaking a 57-year-old record. He also delivered impressive knocks during the concluded edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

What Sport Has Taught Me: Lessons in Resilience, Leadership and Life

When I look back at my childhood, I realise that some of my most important lessons were learnt without ever sitting in a classroom. They came on playing fields, in dressing rooms, after victories and, perhaps even more so, after defeats.

Sport has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I played because I loved playing. I had no idea that those moments were slowly shaping the person I would become.

The first thing sport taught me was resilience. You can prepare, give everything you have and still lose. There is no explanation that can change the result. You simply have to accept it, learn from it and turn up again the next day. That ability to begin again has stayed with me far beyond sport.

Sport also taught me respect — for the opponent who challenges you, for the teammate who stands beside you and for everyone whose contribution makes success possible. You learn very quickly that no achievement is ever entirely yours. Behind every moment are people who have helped you get there.

As I grew older, sport taught me about leadership. I learnt that leading people is not about always having the answers or being the loudest person in the room. Sometimes it is about listening. Sometimes it is about taking responsibility when things go wrong. And sometimes, it is simply about standing beside someone and making them believe in themselves.

Then there is discipline. Sport taught me to show up even on the days when I did not feel like it. To understand that progress is often invisible for a long time. That talent can take you only so far, but the willingness to keep working will take you much further.

Perhaps the most beautiful thing sport gave me, though, was people. Teammates became friends, coaches became mentors, and opponents sometimes became people I deeply admired. The memories I carry are not only of scores and results, but of laughter, disappointment, long days, shared struggles and the feeling of belonging to something bigger than myself.

Today, I understand that sport was never simply preparing me for the next game.

It was preparing me for life.

Life will not always be fair. Things will not always go according to plan. There will be victories, setbacks, moments of doubt and moments when you have to start all over again.

Sport taught me how to face all of them.

And for that, I will always be grateful.
