Tennis legend Mahesh Bhupathi on Wednesday hailed the newly-approved Khelo Bharat Niti (National Sports Policy) 2025, emphasizing its potential to elevate emerging sports like Padel, foster league-based formats, and reinforce the country’s Olympic ambitions.
For many years, the idea of an Indian victory on the hallowed courts of Wimbledon seemed like a fanciful idea. Aside from Ramanathan Krishnan’s forays to the semifinals in the 1960s, a trophy was a dream that appeared a little too far away.
Then, on 4 July 1999, the Indian Express arrived and changed all of that.
India’s former Grand Slam winner Mahesh Bhupathi lauded the newly approved National Sports Police 2025, highlighting how the policy opens doors for emerging sports like Padel, promotes league formats, and strengthens India’s Olympic roadmap.
