India crushed 5–0 by New Zealand; the team crumbled in the face of pace, power, and a high-pressing style of football

There is no doubt that New Zealand are a much stronger side. The Kiwis completely outplayed India in terms of pace and physical strength. Adding to India's woes was New Zealand's aggressive pressing whenever they lost possession. Under constant pressure, India's game became increasingly disjointed. The precision of the Kiwi players' passing was another major factor. It was not just passing; it was almost like geometry! Such accurate and coordinated football is the result of immense skill, rigorous training and hard work.

Arshdeep Out, Hardik In! Ness Wadia Explains Punjab Kings’ Bold ₹18 Crore Gamble

Under captain Shreyas Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting, Punjab reached the IPL final in 2025 and looked strong in 2026 before losing their way late in the season. Wadia says a lack of big-match experience and a bit of overconfidence cost them. Comparing his squad to English football club Arsenal right before they started winning titles, he believes Punjab is almost at the finish line. They just needed someone with a "Midas touch" to push them over it.

From Barefoot Football to India's Glory! Ristik Maity's Incredible Journey of Grit and Dreams

Bengal and football share a bond that goes beyond the boundaries of the pitch. Across the state's neighbourhoods and narrow lanes, countless young boys grow up dreaming of representing the country. Ristik was once one of those boys. As a seven-year-old, he would play barefoot football in the narrow lanes of Girish Park, Kolkata. He had no football boots or access to sophisticated training facilities, but he possessed something far more valuable an unshakable dream of wearing the Indian jersey and scoring for his country.
