With over 14 years of experience in the top divisions of Europe, Colunga is expected to give Coro tough competition for the starting striker spot at the club. However, for the shorter formats, young Rishabh Pant took over the reins. “The move began last week,” an informed source told AFP. In the boys’ junior singles final, Aariv of Gurukul Global School ended the challenge of Harkeerat of Manav Mangal School with a 3-1win. Their efforts soon paid dividends when Sonu scored a field goal in the 16th minute of the match. Former all-rounder Madan Lal has his fingers crossed before the start of the season. Harkeerat won the third game 11-8 before Aariv pocketed the fourth and final game 11-9 to win the title. Gandhi won the third game in the match 11-9 before winning the fourth game 11-7 to equalise in the match. So shoddy was WFI’s planning that two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar compared it to preparation for a state tournament. Sushil, who was in Paris as the government observer, said the team should have returned to India instead.
