The only racket Sachin loves: The secret behind Tendulkar's lasting fitness By [/home/search.html?s=&authornamef=Qaiser+Mohammad+Ali Qaiser Mohammad Ali] Published: 23:48 BST, 11 November 2013 | Updated: 23:48 BST, 11 November 2013 [ ] [ ] [ ] </a> [/indiahome/indianews/article-2501231/The-racket-Sachin-loves-The-secret-Tendulkars-lasting-fitness.html#comments View comments] Tendulkar would not have been able to take the rigours of competitive cricket for more than 24 years had he not paid heed to his physical fitness besides being mentally strong One of the lesser-known facts about Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is that he used to play squash, besides following other fitness regimen, in his effort to remain in top shape so that he could concentrate on his game. The batting maestro missed 17 Test matches and 176 One-day Internationals, most of which due to injuries to his finger, [https://cricketnfootballcenter.bookmark.com/sachin-tendulkar-house-bandra cricketnfootballcenter.bookmark.com] toe, elbow, shoulder, knee, groin, wrist, back, hamstring and ankle since his international debut in 1989. That took a heavy toll on his body - and possibly mind, too - during his illustrious career. But he overcame each of these hurdles to resume his favourite vocation with a child-like passion: batting. Tendulkar, 40, would not have been able to take the rigours of competitive cricket for more than 24 years had he not paid heed to his physical fitness besides being mentally strong. Well-known physiotherapists Ali Irani, who was associated with the Indian team for many years starting 1987, and Arjun Singh Rana, who succeeded Irani in 2000 and was also the first physio at the BCCI's National Cricket Academy in Bangalore at the turn of millennium, say Tendulkar has had an extraordinary keenness to remain fit. Dr Irani, now head of department of physiotherapy at Dr BB Nanawati Hospital in Mumbai, said that whenever Tendulkar would find a squad court, he would play the game. "He would play squash to remain fit. On tours, he would find out if the team hotels had a squash court and play the game. He worked a lot on his flexibility," Irani told Mail Today.

"He worked to understand his fitness and injuries to the core. He would arrive fit at the Indian team's camps while other players came there to get fit. He was focused and worked on his fitness during the off season too. He would call up people to find out when the camps would start, he was so keen," he said. Physio Arjun Singh Rana (right) says Tendulkar's devotion to fitness has helped keep him in the game Rana, now principal of MJ Kundaliya Physical Education and Sports Sciences College in Rajkot, agrees with Irani that Tendulkar never compromised with his fitness. "Sachin was very disciplined when it came to training and conditioning. He never skipped a training session. I never had to push him," Rana told Mail Today. "When I would give yoga lessons to the Indian team, Sachin would follow the exercises religiously. I could talk to him frankly about fitness-related issues because we were familiar with each other. And he was always ready to learn," said the man who doubles up these days as manager of the Saurashtra Ranji Trophy team. After many years when Rana met Tendulkar during the Saurashtra-Mumbai Ranji Trophy final in Mumbai in January, the conversation began with the doctor asking: "Do you remember me, Sachin?" "Tendulkar replied: 'How can I forget you? My son's name is also Arjun'," narrates Rana with a smile. "After all these years his attitude has not changed at all. He remains down to earth. How Doshi takes after his fatherNayan Doshi has several similarities with his illustrious father Dilip Doshi, a former India left-arm spinner of repute who bagged 114 wickets in 33 Test matches between 1979-83. Like father, Nayan, too, is a leftarm spinner and represents his home association Saurashtra, like his father, who also turned out for Bengal besides English counties Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire. Nayan Doshi attended King Alfred School in Hampstead, England, where his father spent many years plying his art in the English county competitions The dressing sense of both the father and son is also similar and both seem to pay much attention to what they wear. This was evident last week when Nayan, 35, was in Delhi for Saurashtra's Ranji Trophy game against the Railways at the Jamia Millia Islamia. He did not play, however, as he has recently recovered from fever, he said. He looked cheerful, nonetheless, egging on his teammates and helping them whenever needed. Nayan attended King Alfred School in Hampstead, England, where his father spent many years plying his art in the English county competitions. He does not remember watching his father play but because of the sporting environment around him, he too took to cricket with aplomb. Besides playing cricket, he looks after his family business along with his elder sister. STAR sports now targeting hockey India captain Sardar Singh during the German - India Pool A match at the Men's Hockey Champions Trophy tournament in Melbourne There are indications that STAR Sports would invest heavily in hockey in India besides cricket, on which is has stronghold. The channel is the series sponsor of the ongoing Test series against the West Indies and is also the official broadcaster of home matches organised by the BCCI. STAR Sports recently announced a sports budget of Rs 20,000 crore while rebranding their channels and announcing India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as its ambassador. But it will be interesting to follow the coming days in which the sponsors of various hockey tournaments would be announced. The channel already has the rights to the Hockey India League and if it gets the rights, in whatever capacity, of the December 6-15 junior World Cup in New Delhi, it will virtually have a monopoly on two of the most popular sports in India. Meanwhile, with less than a month left for the junior World Cup hockey to begin in New Delhi, the preparations are set to begin on Tuesday with the inspection of the pitches at the showpiece Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium. Officials of a company that has won the rights from the FIH, the world governing body of hockey, have arrived in the Capital and will be inspecting the pitches for the World Cup. At the end of their detailed inspection, the company will give a certificate of approval to the beautiful stadium, saying that the venue is fit to host the junior World Cup. Thanks to a sheer coincidence, the second India-West Indies Test match and the Delhi- Mumbai Ranji Trophy match are stating on the same day in Mumbai, November 14. This has given the likes of Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Ashish Nehra an opportunity to their former India teammates Sachin Tendulkar, who will be playing his last Test, for a reunion of sorts with the batting maestro. While the Test match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in south Mumbai, the Ranji tie is at the Bandra Kurla Complex Ground, which is some distance away. But this distance can be easily bridged, when friends like Sehwag and Tendulkar are involved.

The Run Machine: Fourteen-year-old Armaan from Mumbai continues to pile up huge scores By [/home/search.html?s=&authornamef=Qaiser+Mohammad+Ali Qaiser Mohammad Ali] Published: 00:14 BST, 16 February 2013 | Updated: 00:15 BST, 16 February 2013 [ ] [ ] [ ] </a> [/indiahome/indianews/article-2279486/The-run-machine-Fourteen-year-old-Armaan-Mumbai-continues-pile-huge-scores.html#comments View comments] Teenaged batting prodigy Armaan Jaffer is extremely fortunate. Apart from having a coach in his house, his father Kaleem, his school coach Raju Pathak lives a few furlongs away on Hill Road, Bandra (West), from his residence on Kishan Chand Marg in Mumbai. With no dearth of guidance, Armaan is blooming fast and his magnificent record-breaking knock of 473 at No.4 helped Springfield School 'beat' IES VN Sule Guruji (Dadar) on the basis of the first-innings lead in the final to retain the under-16 Harris Shield title on Friday in Mumbai. Armaan Jaffer's 473 was his second knock of 450-plus in Mumbai's interschool cricket The impact of 14- year-old Armaan's knock (359 balls, 65x4s, 16x6s) was such that on the fourth and final day of the match on Friday, the Dadar school "conceded" the match well before the tea interval when the game as a contest had already died. VN Sule Guruji school scored 353 and Springfield School scored a whopping 1,049 for seven wickets when the match ended at Matunga Gymkhana. Armaan's 437-minute innings is the highest score ever made in the Harris Shield tournament. He broke the record of his school and teammate Sarfaraz Khan, who had scored a brilliant 439 in 2009- 10. The Mumbai-based Sarfaraz learnt about Armaan's record at his native Basupar village in Azamgarh, [https://cricketnfootballcenter.bookmark.com/sachin-tendulkar-house-bandra https://cricketnfootballcenter.bookmark.com/sachin-tendulkar-house-bandra] where he had gone with his family. Naturally, both Kaleem, elder brother of former India opener Wasim Jaffer, and Pathak were elated and are eagerly looking forward to the next season. They hope that the prolific righthanded batsman would get to play for Mumbai under-19 team. "Armaan planned his innings well. There was pressure on the school to defend the title and because of that there was some pressure on him too. But he absorbed the pressure and batted well," Kaleem, who has since been besieged by the media at his residence, told MAIL TODAY. "The opposing bowling attack was good and it is worth noting that it had four bowlers who played for Mumbai this season." Armaan was satisfied after his effort. "We lost the first two wickets quickly, due to which we were a little under pressure. But I forged a partnership of 631 with Siddharth Singh, who scored 177. "We fell just 34 runs short of breaking the Harris Shield record of Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli," Armaan told MAIL TODAY. The partnership was broken when Siddharth was out leg before the wicket, missing the target of 664 that Tendulkar and Kambli had scored for Shardashram Vidyamandir School in February 1988. Pathak, who has been the Rizvi Springfield's coach for 20 years and has watched closely Armaan grow, pointed out that confidence is his ward's forte. "In a semi-final against Anjuman-e-Islam, Armaan had scored 263 in his team's 518-run win. So, he was high on confidence going into the final. "Shot selection and temperate are the other strong points of his batting. Also, he has a good technique, and reads the situation very well," Pathak told MAIL TODAY. "Even Tendulkar didn't score so many centuries at this age and runs as Armaan has done. He has scored several double centuries, three or four triple tons and two 450-plus knocks." Armaan slammed 498 in Giles Shield in December 2010. This season, Armaan was again in full bloom in the BCCI-organised under-16 Vijay Merchant Trophy, becoming the first player in the tournament to go past the 1,000-run mark in a season. His ended with a tally of 1,046 in seven matches. Both Kaleem and Pathak feel that the talented Armaan is now mature enough to play at the next level. "He is capable enough to play for Mumbai under-19 team next season," says Pathak. The tall Armaan was, actually, picked in the Mumbai under-19 side this season, but did not get a chance to play in the presence of the established seniors. Armaan must have cursed himself at missing 500 by a mere 27 runs. "I played a sweep shot but the ball spun more than expected, taking the top edge of bat to be caught," he said. With that catch, Prathamesh Chavan and left-arm spinner Heramb Parab also entered the record books, though for an unwanted reason.
