India is out in archery, hopes of medal from Atanu Das are over, still hope in badminton
India’s hopes in archery are now over. Atanu Das lost to Takaharu Furukama of Japan 4-6 in the men’s quarterfinals of the Tokyo Olympics. Das could not score 10 even once in the 5th set and the score of 8 was heavy on him.
India’s hopes rested on Atanu Das after the world’s number one archer Deepika Kumari lost in the quarterfinals. Das failed to beat Takaharu Furukama, the Japanese archer who won the 2012 Olympics silver medal and bronze in the team event here, after defeating London Olympics gold medalist O Jin Hyek in the previous match.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
