Priya Mohan, a teen athlete who defeated Dutee, has sparked interest with her top biomechanical scores.
PRIYA MOHAN TRYED SINGING, DANCING, KEYBOARD PLAYING, AND EVEN PAINTING. “I tried them all because my parents insisted,” she says, “but athletics has always been my first and only love.”
Today, the 19-year-old is the centre of a rising buzz in Indian athletics. Not just because she beat Dutee Chand, India’s fastest runner, four days ago. Biomechanics experts are hailing her as a potential world-class athlete with incredible muscle-levers.
“We’ve tested over 2000 elite athletes at our center,” says Anthony Chacko, director of the Karnataka state-run Centre for Sports Science. “But her readings are way better than any athlete who has walked in here.”
“Her torque (the strength and force generated by the legs and muscles surrounding the thoracic spine) is around 480 Newton metres, whereas most elite athletes we tested were around 280 Nm. She has an incredibly high rate of recovery. If she stays injury-free, she has the potential to become a world-class athlete,” says Chacko.
When running, the four limbs, as well as the muscles surrounding the spine – shoulder extensors, hip flexors, lateral spine rotators, shoulder flexors – and leg muscles – glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves – assist in creating clockwise and counter-clockwise torques that allow for speed generation. Priya’s running torque provides a solid foundation on which pace-work can be built.
Strength, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, and adaptation were all tested as part of the center’s performance evaluations. “Her peak torque, relative peak power, and recovery heart were all far too high for that sport.” “We also required her to participate in a recovery intervention involving hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which assisted her in reducing fatigue,” Chacko adds. Experts at the centre predict “great scope for improvement” for Priya, who started the season with a time of 52.37s in the 400m and will soon be within striking distance of the national record of 50.79s.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”
Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.
KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.
In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.
In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.
Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.
Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.
He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
