Hesson Says Pakistan Has To Catch Up To India Ahead of Asiad | First Sports With Rupha Ramani
Description: Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson has called India the benchmark in white-ball cricket, admitting that Pakistan still have ground to cover. With the India-Pakistan rivalry set to continue at the Asian Games, Hesson’s comments come after a difficult period for Pakistan cricket, including their Test struggles in England and a recent coaching reshuffle. Rupha Ramani looks at Pakistan’s India benchmark, the widening white-ball gap and what Hesson’s admission means ahead of the Asian Games and T20 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo is still chasing history, but the questions around his place in Portugal’s future are getting louder. At 41, the Portugal captain remains central to the team while trying to reach 1,000 career goals and add another World Cup chapter to his legacy. From his struggles at the World Cup to Jorge Jesus’ comments on performance and Ronaldo’s explosive “people want to kill me” remark, Rupha Ramani examines where Ronaldo stands as his career enters its final phase.
Also on the show, Mirabai Chanu has finally won the Asian Games medal that had eluded her for 12 years. The Olympic silver medallist overcame injuries, a fourth-place finish at Hangzhou, a one-kilogram miss at the Paris Olympics and another shoulder injury in 2026 before claiming silver at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. Rupha Ramani looks at Mirabai’s long road back, her place in the legacy of Karnam Malleswari and what her journey means for Indian women in strength sports.
