Bose, who played 17 internationals for India, was not gesturing to a teammate to pass him the ball. He was explaining the sport라이브 바카라 surprisingly large, if somewhat inconspicuous, presence in India, and the diversity of backgrounds that some Indian players come from.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
“Whether it is Sandhya Rai, who comes from an impoverished family in Jalpaiguri district in Bengal, who led the under-18 team, or whether it is Vahbiz Bharucha, who leads the women라이브 바카라 team. They come from two opposite ends of the income spectrum,” Bose said. “Whether it is tribals in Telangana, who we’re doing grassroots work with, or whether it is boys and girls in Cathedral school, Mumbai, they couldn’t be further apart.”바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
More than 300 of India라이브 바카라 approximately 730 districts play rugby, according to Bose. This large pool was one of the clinching points in the federation라이브 바카라 successful pitch to Capgemini, and it will be tapped as the country targets Olympic participation, at least for the women라이브 바카라 team, in 2028. Hints of a franchise based league were dropped too.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
In addition, Bose highlighted other improvements for Indian rugby players, such as high performance training facilities, insurance and compensation.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
“For the first time in history, we are paying the players selected for the national camp,” Bose said. “It라이브 바카라 not much – Rs바카라 웹사이트50,000-60,000바카라 웹사이트over 40 days of effort to thirty or forty players. But it라이브 바카라 a start. There is also insurance for players. Camp바카라 웹사이트me kuch hua, match바카라 웹사이트me kuch hua, you are covered.”바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
Indian Rugby라이브 바카라 job of wooing Capgemini was made easier by the company already being a World Rugby sponsor.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
“It라이브 바카라 an extension of what we do globally,” said Ashwin Yardi, CEO, Capgemini India. “[As per the contract] There is financial support for the team and we’re looking at a multi-year partnership. The idea is to be a part of this journey from the grassroots level and create a strong rugby movement which leads us to that 2028 Olympics ambition.”바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
According to Bose, the top-2 teams in a World Cup have a shot at Olympics participation. The Indian women라이브 바카라 team is in a position to attempt the mission, while the men will need longer.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
Bharucha, the Indian women라이브 바카라 captain, and Prince Khatri, the men라이브 바카라 skipper, were present at the announcement. Both felt that India needed to play more international matches to improve. The federation is trying to organize bi-lateral series to fulfil this requirement.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
“We have some good speed on the team, and we have unity,” said Bharucha. “We need more match time.”바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
Said Khatri, “We currently play a couple of international games a year. But now, with the plans for the coming year, we will have more opportunities. If we play four or five competitions in a year and train at the high performance facility, we’ll get better.”바카라 웹사이트
High quality training has made a big difference for the women라이브 바카라 team, Bharucha said.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
“Initially, we fell short on size. Ever since the high performance program, the scenario changed,” she said. “We started getting better nutrition and training. You could see the change in our bodies. We built muscle and were toned. We can now handle the workload of a long 40-day camp. Training twice a day, six days a week, for 40 days, is not a small task.”바카라 웹사이트
Many Indian sports have aped the IPL to try and make money and impact for their discipline. Bose did not deny the possibility of a rugby league in India, but said there was time for that.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
“[However] When Rugby India has a franchise based league, it will be world class,” he said. “We will hit that ground not running, we’ll hit that ground flying.”바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
