Aman is the youngest wrestler in India’s Greco-Roman team for the Asian Games. His road to the tournament has been a difficult one.

After just playing at the U-17 World Championship in August 2023, he tore his right knee badly and was in for ACL surgery within a week. He then spent the next few years dealing with setbacks and working hard to regain his fitness and return to competition.

Aman opens up on three surgeries and tough road to Asian Games

“Training is going well right now. This is my first Asian Games, so I am feeling very excited about it. This is a big moment for me. But the last few years have not been easy for me. I have had three surgeries. It was a very hard phase, both mentally and physically. But now my body is feeling good, I am training well, and I just want to give my best at the Games,” Aman said.

After his first surgery, Aman admitted that both his doctor and he pushed him to recover faster. However, his knee developed an infection. Due to this, he needs to go for a second surgery in October 2023.

“I was young, and I had that jawani ka josh (youthful exuberance), I thought I would get back on the mat quickly and return straight to my peak. That was a mistake, mine and the doctor’s both. Because of that, I got a knee infection, and I needed another surgery to fix it,” he said.

How Aman’s father, coach and roommate plays a crucial role in his life

After the injury setback, he continued his rehabilitation into 2024 and returned to training in April of the same year. Sadly, he suffered another ACL injury in the same knee, within a week, which followed him to the third surgery. These injury setbacks made him stay away from the mat for a year. His parents also asked him to focus on his studies after facing injury struggles. But, during that period, Aman realized that he was close to walking away from the sport altogether. At that time period, his coach and roommate played a crucial role for him as they kept pushing him to get back on the mat.

“There was a time when I felt like quitting, because of back to back injuries. Even my parents told me, ab padhai pe dhyan do (focus on your studies now), because they were worried about seeing me get hurt so many times. But my coach and my roommate did not let me think like that. They kept telling me, you will come back, just give it time. They pushed me every single day to get back on the mat. And when I did come back, I won a gold medal in the senior category. That medal meant a lot to me, it showed me that all the hard work was worth it.”

In Aman’s life, wrestling played a crucial role as his father was also a wrestler. But never got the support to take the sport further. His father played an important role in his life as he was the one to put his son in the match before sending him off to train at an academy.

“My father was also a wrestler, but he could not go far in the sport because he did not get the support at that time, there was no one to guide him properly. He always had this dream in his heart, and I think he saw that same dream for me. He is the one who got me into wrestling, he is the reason I am here today. In the beginning, he used to train me himself, on the ground near our village. Then when he saw I was serious about it, he sent me to an academy so that I could train more professionally.”

Munich [Germany], September 11 (ANI): Bayern Munich began their pursuit of a seventh European crown in emphatic fashion, thrashing Bodo/Glimt 5-0 in their opening UEFA Champions League match to extend their remarkable winning run in season openers to 24 consecutive campaigns.

Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies and Michael Olise were on the scoresheet as Vincent Kompany’s side maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a dominant display, according to the UEFA Champions League website.

Bayern controlled the contest from the opening stages but were initially frustrated by Bodo goalkeeper Nikita Khaikin, who produced a series of impressive saves to keep the Norwegian side in the game.

Khaikin denied Luis Diaz early on, turning the winger’s glancing header over the crossbar before getting down well to keep out Kane’s curling effort. Joshua Kimmich then struck the post from distance as Bayern continued to pile on the pressure.

Musiala also tested Khaikin with a low effort after creating space on the edge of the box, while the Bayern captain was again denied when his volley was gathered by the visiting goalkeeper.

Bodo had few opportunities of their own, with their best chance in the opening period coming when a mishit Dayot Upamecano backpass slipped past Manuel Neuer and rolled narrowly wide.

Bayern’s dominance finally produced a breakthrough shortly after the interval, although Khaikin was no longer there to prevent it. The goalkeeper had picked up an injury while making his final save of the first half and was replaced by Julian Faye Lund at the break.

Just 77 seconds into the second half, Musiala opened the scoring. Kane’s effort from the edge of the area was blocked into the path of the Germany international, who calmly fired across Lund and into the net.

Kane doubled Bayern’s advantage before the hour mark, finally getting his name on the scoresheet in Europe this season. The England captain rose to meet Olise’s free-kick and powered his header beyond Lund.

Bodo briefly threatened to pull one back when Andreas Helmersen dispossessed Kimmich and noticed Neuer away from his goal, but his ambitious attempt from around 45 yards sailed just over the crossbar.

The visitors then survived several further scares as Ismael Saibari and Musiala came close to extending Bayern’s lead, but the third goal arrived in the 77th minute.

A Bodo corner clearance fell to Davies around 20 yards from goal, and the Canada international unleashed a powerful strike through a crowded penalty area and into the net.

Olise then added a fourth with a superb individual finish. The Frenchman found space before curling a left-footed effort into the top corner to cap another impressive attacking display.

Bodo’s misery deepened when Odin Bjørtuft was shown a red card for bringing down Olise just outside the penalty area.

With the visitors reduced to 10 men, Bayern took full advantage in stoppage time. Olise surged through the weakened defence before firing his second of the night to complete the rout.

The victory extended Bayern’s unbeaten run in all competitions this season and gave them an ideal start to their Champions League campaign.

For Bodo/Glimt, the defeat continued their struggles away from home in the competition, as they remain without an away clean sheet in the Champions League.

The Norwegian side had also scored at least twice in 12 of their previous 13 European outings, but Bayern’s defence kept them scoreless in a one-sided contest. (ANI)

East Zone translated their complete dominance over the last 12 sessions into a Duleep Trophy victory after 13 years, overwhelming South Zone on the basis of a massive first innings lead on the fifth and final day of the final here on Thursday. East Zone sauntered to 388 for seven in their second innings, swelling the overall lead to 760 runs even as the match ended in a draw.

Mohammad Kounian Quraishi joined the list of century-makers in this match with an unbeaten 116, his maiden three-figure mark in two-match-old first-class career. Quraishi, who added 150 runs with Anukul Roy (64) for the seventh wicket stand, reached the milestone in 179 balls with a brace off left-arm pacer CV Milind. But way before the teams shook hands at 2.10 pm signalling a draw, East had wrested the trophy after posting a mammoth 708 runs in their first innings, which helped them construct a 372-run lead. East's second innings was a mere continuation of their show of power in the match.

Starting the day from 212 for five, the Ishan Kishan-led side, as it happened in the first innings, was seldom troubled by direction-less South bowlers. Seasoned Mohammed Siraj bounded in for a while, showing intensity and pace. While it was satisfactory from a personal point of view, the effort remained futile otherwise. The lack of support for Siraj and a toothless batting effort also reflected the flawed selection as far as South squad is concerned. The South management chose to ignore in-form and proven players such as Karun Nair, Mayank Agarwal and Sai Kishore and the replacements never really could step up. But plenty of East Zone players did that.

Skipper Kishan made a stunning 270 in the first innings to underline his red-ball readiness while veteran Mohammed Shami, who was playing in his 100th first-class match, put to shame some younger names with a spirited effort. Kumar Kushagra scored his sixth first-class hundred while his Jharkhand team-mate Shikhar Mohan made a fifty filled with class and poise. Above all, Kishan also showed impressive tactical awareness while leading East. Once the team put on board a massive total, Kishan was clear in his primary objective -- take 10 South wickets and get a first innings lead. The 28-year-old detailed his plan.

"I think when you are the captain of the team, the first thing is situational awareness. We batted for roughly two days, right? Now, as a unit, we know this is essentially a first-innings shootout. "So, our primary task was to take those first 10 wickets and gain that lead. If we have an innings lead (good enough to impose follow-on), why would I want to step back out in the blazing heat," Kishan said. His words reflected the direct conflict between the intention of stretching domestic knockout matches into five days to procure results and teams gunning only for a first innings lead to bag the title. But for him and East, now, it's time to celebrate a long-awaited success rather than dwelling into such technical matters.
