Be the same person no matter what happens: Rishabh Pant reveals Rahul Dravid's advice

Pant, who flourished under Dravid across formats, said one piece of advice from the Indian legend has stayed with him. “I think the key is not thinking about it too much and not dwelling on it. There’s one really good line I learnt from Rahul (Dravid) bhai. He always told me one thing: ‘Rishabh, no matter what happens, try to be the same person when you score a hundred and when you score a zero,’” Pant said. “I think, as an athlete, that’s the hardest thing to do — to remain who you are. Emotions sometimes get the better of you, but that line always stays with me. So personally, I try that. Whether I score zero or a hundred, I want to be the same guy. Maybe when I get out, it hurts more. I don’t enjoy scoring runs as much as I feel the pain of getting out,” the wicketkeeper-batter concluded.

PM Modi To Address Rajya Sabha At 5 PM Today Amid Ongoing Opposition Protest

In this special report, attention turns to the escalating tension in Parliament as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address the Rajya Sabha at 5 pm today. The development came after his scheduled Lok Sabha speech was cancelled amid a complete breakdown of parliamentary proceedings. Speaker Om Birla noted, "The standoff that we see continuously between the treasury benches and the opposition benches is not resolved yet". The report also underscores the suspension of eight opposition MPs and the controversy sparked by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's attempt to discuss national security and quote from an unpublished memoir of former Army Chief General MM Naravane. Despite efforts by the Speaker and Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to mediate, the deadlock continues.
