India is preparing for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, despite a recent 2-0 ODI series loss to Sri Lanka, which is regarded as an anomaly in their cricketing reputation. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is advocating for a hybrid hosting model due to security concerns, potentially involving matches in Sri Lanka or the UAE. Meanwhile, India's men's hockey team secured a bronze medal at the Olympics, marking back-to-back medals for the first time in over 50 years, with captain Harmanpreet Singh expressing pride in the team's progress. As India pushes to host the 2036 Olympics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emphasized the country's commitment to organizing the event, while sports officials are lobbying for support during the Paris Games. The bid includes a focus on promoting indigenous sports, reflecting India's ambition to emerge as a sporting superpower. The Reliance Foundation has established a prominent presence at the Paris Olympics, underscoring India's determination to reshape its sporting legacy.
