The Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan is set to be one of the most heated encounters in recent memory - the first since the Pahalgam terror attack. Pakistan cricketers, such as Haris Rauf, are making bold claims, stating they will beat India not once, but twice. But history tells a different story — Pakistan has lost their last five matches against India, struggled against weaker teams, and even their own legends like Wasim Akram admit India will start as favourites. As former Pakistan players mock Suryakumar Yadav, the young Indian side has quietly built an incredible record, winning 13 of their last 15 T20. Will big talk backfire for Pakistan? Rupha Ramani with details.
Also on the show, India's sports industry has taken a hit after the government's ban on money-based online gaming. It isn't just BCCI but also prominent cricketers like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Mahendra Singh Dhoni who are likely to face revenue loss. The ban might also impact other sporting disciplines. And Daniil Medvedev has been asked to seek help after his meltdown at the US Open. The Russian has a history of smashing rackets and damaging property in anger. Medvedev has also been asked to take a break. Should Medvedev be punished harshly for his actions?
