But his story is not a sudden rise. It is the outcome of years of structured, international-level development. From childhood, Santosh trained under Japanese coach K. Higuchi, building a strong technical and discipline-oriented foundation shaped by the precision of Japanese table tennis systems.

As his career evolved, that base was further sharpened through advanced coaching exposure in Spain, giving him deep familiarity with European tactical systems and competitive training methods.

The result is a player whose game reflects a rare combination:

Japanese technical discipline fused with European strategic adaptability.

That training ecosystem played a defining role in preparing him for international competition - and later, international coaching.

For Santosh, performance is not just about strokes, speed or footwork.
It is about what happens inside an athlete’s mind after losing a crucial point.
How confidence rebuilds. How discipline survives bad days. How players perform under pressure when technique alone stops being enough.

That mindset-first philosophy has shaped both sides of his journey - elite competitor and mentor. While competing at the highest level, he became National Champion in Men’s Doubles at the 32nd Masters National Championships 2025–26, Vice National Champion in Singles, maintained outstanding success in the Spanish National League, and secured medals across tournaments in the USA and Spain.

At the same time, he expanded his coaching journey internationally — working across California, Spain and Denmark, helping players improve not only technical execution, but their understanding of performance itself.

And maybe that is why Santosh’s story matters beyond table tennis.

Because this isn’t simply a story about an international athlete from a smaller Indian city. It is the story of a player and mentor shaped by Japanese discipline, European systems, and years of high-performance learning - now building a culture of performance for the next generation.

The bigger question his journey raises is simple:

Can world-class performers be built through mindset, systems, mentorship and technical depth - not geography alone?

Santosh Araswilli’s career is becoming a strong argument that they can.

KAB returned home with an impressive tally of 1 Gold, 3 Silver, and 10 Bronze medals, marking yet another milestone in Bengal’s rising presence in international karate.

A respected international Referee and Judge, Hanshi Sen has built a culture centered on discipline, precision, and fearless performance. His consistent efforts are shaping Bengal into a recognized force in global karate.

General Secretary Joydeb Mondal played a vital role in ensuring seamless coordination and team management throughout the championship.

Team Manager Subhas Mitra efficiently supervised on-ground operations, maintaining discipline and smooth execution during the event.

Coach Shabaz Khan kept the athletes mentally and physically prepared with focused training and strategic guidance, significantly contributing to the team’s success.

Cricket fans will have another high-intensity domestic spectacle to look forward to this March as the Big Cricket League (BCL) Season 2 is set to roll into action from March 11 to March 22, 2026, at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Stadium in Greater Noida. Marketed as the world’s first Pro-Am cricket league, BCL continues to push a format that blends international professionals with ambitious amateur cricketers a concept that drew significant attention during its debut season.

Unlike conventional franchise leagues that focus purely on elite professionals, the Big Cricket League has built its identity around opportunity and exposure. The tournament offers a rare competitive stage where talented non-professional players get to share the dressing room and the pressure with globally recognised cricket names.

Auction Day to Shape Season Narrative

The build-up begins with the player auction on February 16, an event expected to define team balance and tournament dynamics. Franchises will aim to strike the right mix between experience and hunger, a combination that proved crucial in Season 1. Observers believe smart selections at the auction table could ultimately separate contenders from pretenders.

Last season witnessed the presence of stalwarts such as Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Herschelle Gibbs and Imran Tahir a star cast that elevated both credibility and viewership. While organisers have indicated that Season 2 could feature an expanded pool of overseas players, official squad announcements remain under wraps, adding an element of intrigue ahead of the auction.

Greater Noida Gears Up for Cricket Spotlight

The backing of the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has added structural strength to the league’s second edition. Preparations at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Stadium are already underway, with improvements in pitch readiness, seating arrangements and logistical planning expected to enhance the match-day experience.

From a cricketing standpoint, the venue has steadily evolved into a reliable host for domestic and exhibition tournaments. Season 2 of BCL is likely to further underline Greater Noida’s growing presence on India’s cricketing map.

More Than Just Entertainment

What sets BCL apart is its grassroots-to-glory pathway. The league is not merely about entertainment or star power; it is about competitive exposure for players who otherwise operate outside the mainstream professional circuit. For amateur cricketers, it is an audition on a national stage. For fans, it is an unpredictable contest where raw ambition meets seasoned skill.

League officials have repeatedly emphasised that Season 2 will focus on higher playing standards, tighter competition and improved organisation. The objective is clear transform BCL from an experimental format into a sustainable cricketing property that consistently produces quality contests.

Expect Fierce Competition and Fresh Stories

With international professionals expected to anchor squads and amateurs eager to prove themselves, Season 2 promises a blend of flair, unpredictability and emotional narratives. These are the ingredients that often define memorable cricket tournaments not just big sixes and fiery spells, but breakthrough performances from unknown names.

As the countdown begins, the Big Cricket League finds itself at a crucial juncture. A strong second season could firmly establish the Pro-Am model as a viable addition to India’s crowded cricket calendar. For cricket followers, it offers something refreshingly different a league where reputations matter, but dreams matter even more.

Pune, (Maharashtra) [India], February 03, 2026: The Institute of Sports Science & Technology (ISST), Pune, hosted an inspiring and deeply reflective evening under its flagship initiative “Humans in Sports”, featuring global cricketing legend Mr. Jonty Rhodes, at the Ileseum Club, Bavdhan, the official Venue Partner for the event.

Held on January 16, 2026, the event brought together students, parents, educators, industry professionals, and members of the sports fraternity for a powerful session titled “Life Lessons Through Sports”—a conversation designed to explore mindset, resilience, leadership, and long-term growth through the lens of sport. The evening was gracefully hosted by Mrs. Tanvi Lunawat, Director – Operations, ISST, who steered the programme through its various segments with clarity and purpose.

Widely regarded as one of the greatest fielders the game has seen, Jonty Rhodes shared personal insights from his journey in international cricket, emphasising the importance of teamwork, process-driven growth, and perspective over individual success. Speaking to students and young professionals, he highlighted how sport teaches lessons that extend far beyond performance statistics and scorecards.

Reflecting on his own experiences, Jonty Rhodes said:

“Being part of a team is not about my own performance alone. It’s about how you can keep contributing, supporting others in their progress, and helping people take their game—and their lives—to the next level. Sport also teaches you to focus on the process rather than the outcome. You can do everything right, prepare well, execute perfectly, and still not control the result. But if you trust the process, stay disciplined, and remain consistent, that’s what allows success over a long period of time.”

Addressing the audience, Dr. Vipul Lunawat, Founder Director, ISST, spoke about the philosophy behind the initiative and ISST’s approach to education in sport, stating:

“Success in sports is not linear. Setbacks are not failures—they are feedback. Leadership is not about authority—it is about responsibility. And excellence is not an event—it is a habit.”

He further emphasised that “Life Lessons Through Sports” is not a lecture series, but a dialogue between experience and aspiration—creating learning that prepares students for the realities of the rapidly evolving sports industry.

The evening also included brief reflections on the ISST Sports League 5.0, a student-driven multi-sport league that serves as a practical learning platform for aspiring sports professionals. While the league’s Awards Night recognised sporting excellence across 11 sports disciplines, the primary focus of the event remained on learning, mindset, and human development through sport.

The programme commenced with a ceremonial lamp lighting by the dignitaries, including Mr. Jonty Rhodes, Dr. Vipul Lunawat, Mrs. Ujjwala Lunawat (Chairperson, ISST), and Dr. Pranati Tilak, Vice-President, Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth Trust, followed by the official announcement of ISST’s expansion with the launch of its Kharghar, Navi Mumbai campus.

ISST’s expansion into Navi Mumbai is being undertaken with the continued guidance and institutional support of Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth (TMV), whose encouragement and belief in ISST’s vision have played a pivotal role in strengthening its academic foundation and enabling the launch of programmes at the TMV Kharghar campus, marking a significant milestone in ISST’s growth journey.

With the Ileseum Club, Bavdhan, providing an elegant and professional setting as Venue Partner, the event successfully blended inspiration, education, and celebration.

Through initiatives like Humans in Sports, ISST continues to reinforce its commitment to building ethical, reflective, and future-ready sports professionals, firmly positioning sport as one of life’s most powerful teachers—not just of performance, but of character.

It is possible for one player to have a square that is stronger than the one held by the other player. If the board shows 5-6-7-J-2 and you have 4-8 in your hand, you have a straight (4-5-6-7-8). Nevertheless, if your rival has the following cards; 8-9, he has a straight from 5 through 9, and he will beat you. If he has 3-4, they will also have a straight, but you'll win the hand because your straight is better than his. If he has these cards, they will be straight.

This does not only apply to the straight; if both players have a flush, the highest card within the flush counts first; if that card is the same, the next highest card in the flush is considered, and so on. If neither player has a straight, the highest card in the flush is considered.

To determine who wins a full house, it is necessary to determine which player has the highest possible combination of three cards; if both players have the same combination, the remaining two cards are taken into consideration. When there are two pairs, the focus should be placed initially on the stronger of the two pairs, followed by the pair with the weaker value.

Poker Hand Rankings

It doesn't matter what type of poker game you play, and the objective is always the same: to win the pot by producing the best possible poker hand combination. Because of this, it is essential that it be included on every single poker cheat sheet.

Afterward, the next three cards are dealt with the faces up, and after each of those cards, there is an additional round of betting. The final card in poker is dealt with in the face-down position.

There are 3 kinds of 7 Card Stud available to play when playing online poker. Card Stud Hi is indeed a straightforward form of the game, and its name indicates that the player with the highest hand at the end of the game takes home the entire pot. On the other hand, 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo is a challenging card game that has seen a surge in interest in recent years. The most significant distinction between high-only poker games and mixed games is that mixed games provide fifty percent of the pot to the poker hand with the lowest rank.

5.  Chinese poker

The game of Chinese poker is unlike any of the other variations of poker that are now available to members of the community. This is not your typical game of poker by any means. Keeping all of this in mind, it is safe to state that the skill level required to play this game has still been considered a beginner. And if you want to see real improvement in your game, you should try to commit the major poker hand rankings to memory. The game of conventional Chinese poker eventually evolved into open-face Chinese poker, often known as OFC poker. However, if you want to enjoy OFC, it is not necessary for you to be familiar with the poker rules of conventional CP. The only difference between this form of poker and the others is that the OFC participants draw cards from a single deck. Throughout the entirety of the game, the goal of every player should strive to improve their hand to be as strong as possible.

Conclusion

These are just a few examples of online poker games, including 4 2 5  card games which garner the majority of players' attention. It is also important to keep in mind that the vast majority of experienced poker players honed their skills through practice in free play. When you feel like you have a solid grasp of the rules of online poker and the way the game is played, you can move on to playing for actual cash.

Offering an immersive gaming experience and the potential for massive payouts, live money wheel games are all the rage at Indian online casinos right now. Evolution Gaming started the craze with Dream Catcher Live, but that now looks rather basic compared to the latest innovations that have been released since then. 

Despite this, standard elements of money wheel games have remained intact. The usual setup is a vertically-mounted wheel that is spun manually by the game’s host in a purpose-built studio. On the wheel, there are typically various win multipliers and segments that activate in-game bonus features. Players must bet on the bonus segments to participate in the extra game, which is how the casino maintains a slight house edge.

With all of the top live casino providers offering their own wheel of fortune-styled games, this niche keeps getting better and better. Here are some of the most popular titles right now according to Live Casino India.

Crazy Time

Developed by Evolution, Crazy Time is based on Dream Catcher, but it has multiple bonus games that take the gaming experience to the next level. The gameplay centres around the crazy money wheel, which has 1x, 2x, 5x, and 10x multipliers combined with four bonus features:

• Coin Flip: A coin is flipped to determine which value multiplier players will win. Before the Coin Flip game, two multipliers are randomly generated - one for each side of the coin.
• Pachinko: A puck is dropped into a massive Pachinko wall, and players win the multiplier value where the puck lands at the bottom. If the puck ends up on ‘Double’, all the multipliers are doubled and the puck is dropped again. The maximum win multiplier in this game is 10,000x.
• Bonus Hunt: This is an interactive shooting gallery-type game. The game begins with a large LED screen with 108 multipliers on it. These are covered by various symbols and shuffled. Players then shoot at one symbol and win the multiplier that is behind it.
• Crazy Time: The host goes through a red door to reveal a colossal virtual money wheel. Players choose one of the three coloured flappers and they win the multiplier that stops on their flapper. It’s possible to get multipliers up to 20,000x in this round.

Monopoly Live

This is another Evolution creation. As the title suggests, it’s themed on the classic board game of the same name. Most of the action takes place on the money wheel that has segments for multipliers, the bonus game, and Chance (card).

The bonus feature is triggered when the flapper stops on Two Rolls or Four Rolls. Players are then taken to a virtual 3D Monopoly board. All the properties are given multipliers, which increase in value as they go around the board. If a double is rolled, players get an extra roll. Furthermore, if players get back to ‘Go’, every multiplier is doubled.

Sweet Bonanza CandyLand

Aiming to keep pace with Evolution, Pragmatic (Play) Live released Sweet Bonanza CandyLand. The money wheel part of the game is essentially the same as both Monopoly Live and Crazy Time in that players can win multipliers or activate certain bonus features.

Among the bonuses are Sugar Bombs - these add a random multiplier to the wheel before a free respin, and Candy Drops, which is similar to Pachinko (in Crazy Time). The best bonus game is Sweet Spins, which is effectively the bonus round of Pragmatic’s video slot - Sweet Bonanza. Here, players can win up to 20,000x their bet amount.

Adventures Beyond Wonderland

Playtech Live pulled out all the stops with Adventures Beyond Wonderland, which is themed on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. In addition to the main money wheel element of the game, Adventures Beyond Wonderland has a second wheel that is used to play the WonderSpins bonus round.

Other features include Mystery Bonus Spins and the Magic Dice Game. Beyond Wonderland has an RTP of 96.6% to 96.8%, which is respectable for these games. Additionally, the maximum payout is €500,000 (or currency equivalent).

Spin A Win

This is another game from Playtech Live. In fact, Spin A Win was this operator’s first live wheel of fortune game. It was released in 2018, which is when Evolution first launched Dream Catcher. 

Although today it looks a little bland when compared with Adventures Beyond Wonderland, Spin A Win still has a lot to offer - both in terms of fun and payouts. 

Evolution’s Dream Catcher may have stolen many of the headlines in this niche, but experienced Indian online casino players prefer this Playtech game because it has 40x win segments and several innovative side bets that deliver more excitement.

Sports Minister talks to Mother of Arshdeep on phone to express solidarity

“Winning & losing part of game, No place for hatred in sports’’

Chandigarh, September 5 (Shivam Madaan) Punjab's minister for sports and youth affairs Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, threw his weight behind upcoming pace bowler Arshdeep Singh, who is being trolled for   inadvertently dropping a catch during the Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan in UAE.  Hayer said that Arshdeep Singh is a player full of potential and much is expected of him in the near future. He is an inspiration for the hundreds of youth.

          The Minister also spoke  with the Mother of Arshdeep Singh, Baljit Kaur who is in Dubai, on phone and assured her that the entire country stands firmly behind Arshdeep Singh. He also said that on returning to the country, he would personally welcome Arshdeep Singh. 

          The Minister also tweeted in support of the player, “Victory or defeat is given in game. @arshdeepsinghh is upcoming star who carved out niche in short span. Performed excellent against Pakistan. Regressive psyche to troll him on drop of just a catch. Arshdeep is future of Nation. Inspiration for youth. Hate has no place in sports.”

          Hatred has absolutely no place in sports and winning or losing is part of the game. The performance is never the same in sports hence raising hue and cry on one bad showing is not justified. Arshdeep Singh won hearts with his superb bowling. This 23 year old bowler has bagged 13 scalps in just 9 International matches and gave away runs at an average of just 7 in the high scoring game against Pakistan.
