In the autumn of 2022, when 20-time Major winner Roger Federer announced his retirement, the world of tennis slipped into a state of near-eternal lament. There was the disappointment of not being able to watch one of the greatest players live anymore, but it was also about the end of the famed 40-match Federer-Rafael Nadal rivalry which had defined the sport.

In December 2022, after being dropped from Karnataka’s Ranji Trophy squad for the first time since his debut in 2013-14, Karun Nair let out a fervent plea. “Dear cricket, give me one more chance,” he posted on X.

Shubman Gill’s ascent to Indian Test captaincy at once seems like a normal rite of passage and not so. There was hardly any doubt that he was the chosen one, considered the next batting great after Virat Kohli, and by extension the next man to carry the hopes of a billion odd people. Yet, here was a player who until 15 months ago did not have an assured spot in Tests, did not have much captaincy experience and even now averages only 35.05 from 32 matches, albeit in a bowler-friendly era.

Women’s tennis, compared to the men’s game, hasn’t had a single dominating force on clay.

Athletes are image conscious, both during their playing days and long after. Some may want to be remembered for their high skill and art, some for their nature, both pleasing and rebellious, and some for the legacy they leave behind and the many lives they touch and careers they inspire. And when athletes write memoirs, it is often a careful extension of this very image.

This is from March 2022, when #Kohli played his 100th Test in Mohali. Didn’t expect the end to come this soon. But one of the truly great cricket careers, marked by thoroughly selfless captaincy #India #ViratKohli https://t.co/P8IUR1vx2M

To make it clear for all the non-tech, non-space folks: this is what ISRO has successfully achieved today on its own. Truly our DDLJ moment in space! ☺️ https://t.co/9cJy3zViCk
