‘Champion’ Sania Mirza shares PM Narendra Modi’s letter and promises to keep up her good work for India.
Sania Mirza, an accomplished tennis player from India who announced her retirement last month, recently shared an encouraging letter she received from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter. Sania, who continues to be one of the most decorated athletes in the nation, expressed her gratitude to PM Modi for the gesture and promised to always represent India with pride. Sania was referred to as a “champion” and described as having “made an indelible impact on Indian athletics, motivating the next generation of athletes” by Prime Minister Modi in the letter.
“Honorable Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji, I want to thank you for your warm and motivating remarks. I’ve always taken tremendous satisfaction in doing the best I can to represent my nation, and I’ll keep working hard to make India proud. I appreciate your help “Tweets from Sania.
Dear Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji, I want to thank you for your warm and motivating remarks.
I’ve always taken tremendous satisfaction in doing the best I can to represent my nation, and I’ll keep working hard to make India proud. I appreciate your help.
Tennis fans will find it difficult to comprehend that you won’t be playing professionally moving forward, Prime Minister Modi wrote in the letter. But you have made an unforgettable imprint on Indian sports through your career as one of the country’s top tennis players, motivating the next generation of athletes.
You beautifully described your path from a little child who had to physically fight her way to the courts as a child to a tennis player of the highest calibre in the following years when you announced a “Life Update” on January 13. You claimed that winning medals for India had been your greatest honour. I can confidently state that you are India’s pride, whose triumph has brought the greatest happiness to the hearts and minds of all Indians.
The Indian people now have much to celebrate thanks to you. As a young player, your early success at Wimbledon indicated that you would be a force to be reckoned with. Your victories in later Grand Slam competitions, whether in the Women’s Doubles or Mixed Doubles, also served as evidence of your talent and enthusiasm for the sport. The fact that you excelled in so many Doubles competitions demonstrates your disposition towards teamwork, which is a crucial skill in sports.
You had to deal with injuries because of unfortunate circumstances, but these setbacks only reinforced your resolve, and you triumphed over these difficulties with flying colours.
I want to thank your parents for giving you every opportunity to practise and play. In addition to developing you into a brilliant player, they also instilled strong principles in you, as evidenced by the humility and competitive spirit you exhibit in your many post-match remarks.
Only at JioSaavn.com can you listen to the most recent music.
I hope you spend the next few years engaging in your other interests. You will definitely continue to appear more frequently, especially while mentoring aspiring athletes. Also, I hope you get to spend more time with Izhaan.
Once again, thank you for everything you have done for India. I wish you luck in all of your future endeavours.

Curious Fans Chant ‘Ben Stokes’ at CSK Practice Game: Audience Engagement Builds for CSK’s Future with Englishman
During CSK’s practice game in Chennai, a large gathering of MS Dhoni-intoxicated fans swarmed the arena, cheering for their ‘Thala’ and crowding outside a glass-paneled gym room to cheer as he pulled down weight on a power rack. However, after 25 minutes of cheering for Dhoni, the fans started to chant ‘Ben Stokes’, which swelled around the arena like an aural wave. This was an endorsement from the Yellove faithful about CSK’s future direction, pointing towards England’s charismatic Ben Stokes. The team’s social media handles have already started billing Stokes as the ‘Chosen one’ with hit numbers from Tamil movies playing in the backdrop. Songs of Rajnikanth, which were usually reserved for Dhoni, were found in posts for Stokes. The team has had star-studded overseas players in the past, including the likes of Dwayne Bravo, Matthew Hayden, Mike Hussey, and Brendon McCullum, but none have had the sort of reception that Stokes has managed to pull off so far.

Curiosity is piqued as the Picture Goes Viral, Fans Draw Comparisons to Ronaldo and Messi, and Excitement Among Cricket Fans on Twitter!
The latest buzz on social media is the picture of Ravindra Jadeja and Ben Stokes donning the Chennai Super Kings jersey together. Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as they witnessed two of the best all-rounders in the cricket world playing for the same team in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Jadeja has been a star player in the CSK roster, while Stokes was acquired during the auction ahead of the 16th edition of the T20 league.
The picture of the two players sitting together in a training session went viral on social media, with fans comparing the duo to football legends Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo playing for the same team. The Chennai Super Kings shared the picture on their official Twitter handle, setting the micro-blogging site on fire.
Some fans are even speculating that Stokes could be a potential captaincy candidate for the team, especially with MS Dhoni expected to leave the franchise in a season or two. Meanwhile, Chennai successfully acquired Stokes’ services at a staggering price of Rs. 16.25 Cr during the IPL 2023 auction, after engaging in a bidding war with PBKS for Curran.
If Dhoni decides to retire from the franchise after this season, Stokes could be given the responsibility, given his success as England’s Test captain. Apart from Stokes, CSK also bought Ajinkya Rahane at a base price of Rs. 50 lakh. Interestingly, Dhoni, Stokes, and Rahane had previously played together for the Rising Pune Supergiants in IPL 2017.
