Yoga guru and spiritual leader Jaggi Vasudev, also known as Sadhguru, has said that hockey was 'more exciting' than cricket in college days, though he was ‘an all-rounder in school’.
He revealed this to cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin during ‘In Conversation with the Mystic’ online chat. They talked about cricket, Covid-19, agriculture and farmers’ crisis and more.
When asked if he was a batsman or a bowler, Sadhguru said he was 'an all-rounder'.
“I was an all-rounder in the school. But once I (went) to college, I got more involved with field hockey and kind of dropped my cricket,” Sadhguru said.
In his opinion, hockey was more exciting because it kept one always on one’s feet as opposed to cricket in which fielders stood at one place for 30-40 minutes. He added that it was not his cup of tea.
Ashwin, who was to play for Delhi Capitals this season in the Indian Premier League, said that he was okay with the lockdown in the beginning, but now as he has not been able to practice and has been confined to his home, he is itching to go out and play.
“Initially I felt like I was okay, but now I’m getting really itchy, I want to go out and play, or do something like that, I am getting really itchy inside the house,” Ashwin told Sadhguru.
Ashwin has a been hosting a regular segment on Instagram called ‘Reminisce with Ash’.
6.9K views · 135 reactions | I’m genuinely shocked and saddened by reports that Will Jackson, Conservative candidate for North Harrow in the elections next month, has told British-born Asian MPs like Rishi Sunak and Shabana Mahmood that they are “not British” and should “go back to Pakistan,” He also suggested figures like Anthony Joshua and Dua Lipa aren’t British.I have raised this important matter in Parliament today, because there is no place for racism in our politics.I’m proud of Harrow’s diverse, close-knit communities. Every candidate should seek to unite people, not divide them.This matter must be taken seriously. I welcome the Conservative Party’s statement that Mr Jackson’s comments are wholly unacceptable and their decision to suspend him.But serious questions remain about how he was selected as a candidate in the first place, and why he was considered fit to represent our community.https://bylinetimes.com/2026/04/13/conservative-candidate-tells-british-mps-to-go-back-to-pakistan/🎥 👇 | Gareth Thomas MP
