Shrivalli Bhamidipaty: India’s New Tennis Star
Shrivalli Bhamidipaty, a young sensation from Telangana, has become Indian tennis’s new face to watch. Representing the country in the Billie Jean King Cup Asia/Oceania Group 1, she stunned fans and rivals alike by winning all five of her singles matches. Her fearless gameplay and composure under pressure helped India qualify for the playoff stage for the first time in years, earning her massive praise from veterans and fans alike.
Indian Shooters Take Aim—and Win
At the ISSF World Cup, Indian shooters continued their world-class streak. Arjun Babuta bagged silver in the 10m Air Rifle category, while Manu Bhaker and Esha Singh both made it to the finals, reinforcing India’s dominance in precision sports. With Paris 2028 already on the radar, April’s performances indicate that Indian shooting’s golden generation is still going strong.
Super Cup 2025: Football’s Spotlight Moment
Football fever gripped Odisha as the Super Cup 2025 unfolded at Bhubaneswar’s Kalinga Stadium. Despite early hiccups—like Churchill Brothers pulling out of the tournament—the matches have been high-octane, with ISL and I-League clubs bringing their best. Kerala Blasters and East Bengal have impressed, hinting at a tight race to the trophy. The tournament has been a great platform for Indian talent to shine before the next national camp.

Making waves in the lesser-known arena, Indian rugby is getting a major push with the announcement of the country’s first-ever Rugby Premier League. Scheduled for June 1–15 at the Mumbai Football Arena, the league will feature six city-based teams and include international players. Backed by Rugby India and private investors, the league could be a gamechanger in how niche sports are marketed and followed in India.
