The Services Sports Control Board (SSCB) once again proved their dominance in Indian boxing, retaining their title at the 8th Elite Men’s National Boxing Championship with a commanding performance in the finals held at Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.
Australia’s batting mainstay Steve Smith, who fell one short of the elusive 10,000-run mark in Test cricket during the Border-Gavaskar series, described the milestone as a “different beast” while revealing that the pressure of nearing the landmark affected him significantly during the fifth and final Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
India’s star pacer Jasprit Bumrah was on Tuesday named ICC Men’s Player of the Month for December 2024 after his sensational performance during the recent tour of Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
In 2023-24, the BCCI had stripped Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer of their annual contracts after the duo did not turn up for their respective state sides despite not being on national duty.

Ramanathan, who is ranked 212 in ATP rankings, had earlier beaten Slovakia's Josef Kovalik 6-3, 6-0 in the first round of the qualifiers on Tuesday.
"We definitely need to work out better plans in terms of understanding how to score runs. We have to stay in sync with the momentum of the game and not let the game drift away too much," said Kohli at a press conference after India lost the final by eight wickets here.
India, who started the day at 64/2, lost three wickets -- of skipper Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane -- in the first session to go to lunch at 130/5.
"I never thought that way," he said. "The postponement was always a shock for anyone. But we all knew it was the right decision. So, all of us involved in the preparation were fully convinced that this was the right decision to postpone it to the next year."
