30 | P a g e Excellence in SportsKL Rahul
Born in Mangalore in April 1992, he started playing cricket at
the age of 11 and moved to Bengaluru to pursue his career in
cricket from Jain University. During the felicitation ceremony
held at the Jain University in 2016, the alumni was honored
for his remarkable performance.
Rahul credited his success to the University. “I always used to
ask the Sports Director about the numbers of classes I need
to attend and he told me to get back onto the cricket field and
not to worry about my attendance. It was this sort of support that gave me the freedom to
concentrate on my game and succeed,” he said. He has also been a part of Sports Award
Ceremony organized by the University. One of the brightest stars in the Indian cricket team,
the following are just some of his achievements.
He was a part of 2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
In 2013, KL Rahul represented Jain University in an inter-collegiate cricket tournament and
scored a century which helped Jain University record a 39-run win over University of Madras
in the final match of the South Zone inter-university cricket championship. With his record of
the fastest batsman to have scored centuries in all three cricket matches, he also became first
triple-centurion for Karnataka in first-class.
He made his international debut in the 2014-15 Test series played against Australia at
Melbourne and scored his maiden Test century in his second Test match. Rahul became the
first Indian to score a century on One Day International debut and the first Indian opener to
score a century in his debut Test in the West Indies, the third Indian to score a century in all
three formats of international cricket, and score a ton in the first innings as opener in both
Tests and ODIs.
In June 2016, he scored a century on his One Day International debut against Zimbabwe
becoming the first Indian cricketer to do so on the debut match.
He plays for Karnataka in the domestic circuit and Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier
League. Rahul made his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut in 2013 for Royal Challengers
Bangalore (RCB) as a wicket-keeper batsman. Playing for Kings XI Punjab in the 2018 IPL, he
scored the fastest 50 in IPL history. For his performances in the 2018 and 2019 IPL seasons,
he was named in the Cricinfo and Cricbuzz IPL XI.
For all of us, to receive recognition from established and renowned personalities in the field is
an achievement in itself. In an interview with the Press Trust of India, Chris Gayle spoke of KL
Rahul as an extraordinary talent who had the ability to match Virat Kohli’s feats. This remark
coming from one of the greatest Jamaican batsmen holding numerous records would no doubt
be special.
31 | P a g e Excellence in SportsPankaj Advani
Dreaming of what we want to be when we grow up is something all of us
have done. For most of us, it would be multiple professions at the same time.
But to grow up determined and focused on one profession and to take it up
seriously is admirable. Introduced to the game at the age of 10 by his elder
brother and winning his first ever title at 12, Pankaj Advani, the 21-time
World Billiards and Snooker Champion has become synonymous with
snooker and billiards and making winning a habit.
Pankaj Advani completed his bachelor's degree in Commerce from Jain
(Deemed-to-be University) to which he owes his success. On his association with Jain (Deemed-to-be
University), Pankaj shared, “When I joined the college, I was worried how I would manage time for
snooker and billiards tournaments along with academics. But the University understood my passion
for sports and supported me through my education. Its policy of maintaining a balance between
academics and sports is commendable. I have always been grateful to the Institute for my
achievements.”
Spotting the talent, passion, natural ability, and dedication for the sport in him, former national
Snooker champion Arvind Savur took him under his wing. Advani has to his credit several records at
the state and national levels. In 2000, he won his first Indian Junior Billiards Championship title and
won it again in 2001 and 2003. He was the youngest National Snooker Champion to win the India
Junior Snooker Championship in 2003. He became a snooker professional in 2012. Advani won the
2014 IBSF World 6-Red Snooker Championship, on his debut in that discipline. The only player to win
the world titles in both formats of snooker (long and short formats) as well as billiards (time and point
formats), he holds the World, Asian, and Indian National Championship titles simultaneously.
The world champion cueist’s list of achievements is endless. Here’s a look at some of them:
• India's first world champion in 6-red snooker
• Won the IBSF World Billiards Championship in 2005 at Qawra, Malta
• Only Indian to have won the amateur world title in both snooker and billiards
• The only person to have won all five national, regional, and world billiards tournaments in a
single season.
• Won the WPBSA billiards title at Leeds in 2009
• Holds the record of being the first in the world to win the trio of the WPBSA World Billiards
Champion pro title (which he has held in 2009 and 2012).
• Won the Asian Billiards Championship in Goa in 2012 becoming the first player to win 5 Asian
Billiards Champion titles
• Won the first ever World Team Billiards Championship held in Glasgow, Scotland in August
2014 along with Rupesh Shan, Devendra Joshi, and Ashok Shandilya.
• Is the first player to hold the world title and the continental title at the same time in 2016
• Won the Asian Team Snooker Championship in 2017
32 | P a g e Excellence in SportsSharath M. Gayakwad
The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man
perfected without trials is a Chinese proverb. This is true for
all of us because although we are born with abilities, we go
through trials to realize this. Life has shown and keeps
showing us that nothing is impossible when you have the
determination, focus, support, and the will to succeed. We
read stories of how people overcome difficulties to come out
successful. So, to have one of our very own go through the
same and carve a name for himself in the world of sports is
admirable.
Born with a deformed left hand, Sharath M. Gayakwad was apprehensive of joining swimming
classes initially because of his disability, but eventually took up swimming at the age of 9 and
participated in several swimming events for the disabled. However, his physical deformity
made it hard for him to maintain the equilibrium.
Spotting him at a school event, John Christopher took him under his wing, trained him for 7
years and worked tirelessly to prepare him for competitions making this the beginning of a
beautiful journey.
In 2003, Sharath got his first taste of success at the age of 12, when he won two gold medals in
his first swimming competition. Overcoming challenges at every step, the Indian Paralympic
swimmer from Bengaluru has won 55 domestic and 41 international medals - 4 Gold, 15
Silver, and 22 Bronze. He won four Gold, two Silver and two Bronze at the IWAS World Games
in 2008; was a medalist in the IWAS Games held in Taipei and in Bangalore in 2009,
respectively; won a bronze medal at the 2010 Asian Para Games, Guangzhou, China; and won
a Silver and 2 Bronze medals at the 2011 International Deutsche Meisterschaften (IDM)
Swimming Championships in Berlin, Germany. Sharath was the first Indian swimmer to
qualify for the 2012 London Paralympics. He won six medals at the 2014 Asian Games and
surpassed P.T. Usha’s record for the greatest number of medals by an Indian at a global multi-
discipline event. Sharath was also the Asian record-holder in 2 categories – 50m Butterfly and
50m Breaststroke from 2010 to 2013.
Sharath was honored with the Arjuna Award in 2015 and was listed along with Indian
sportspersons, gymnast, Dipa Karmakar and freestyle wrestler, Sakshi Malik by Forbes
magazine among their Under-30 Super achievers in Asia in 2017.
A proud alumnus of Jain (Deemed-to-be University), his alma mater was also a source of
encouragement where his training is concerned. "I joined on a sports quota with a good
concession and was given time for training. My college was very supportive. They would hold
special classes for me as I would spend six hours on training.”
Now a coach in Bengaluru, he spends six hours a day coaching kids, some of them who are
differently-abled. Sharath is also a co-founder of Gamatics, a venture that offers high
performance practice gears and equipment for swimmers.
33 | P a g e Excellence in SportsAditi Ashok
Born on March 29, 1998 in Bangalore, Aditi Ashok started
playing golf at the age of 5. Since then, there has been no
looking back for the Indian professional golfer who was
the first to play in the Asian Youth Games in 2013, Youth
Olympic Games and Asian Games in 2014, and Olympic
Games in 2016. The dream to play in the Olympics at the
age of 5 began to take shape with her first national title at
the age of 9 which set the ball rolling for the wins that
followed in the later years.
Among the many accolades under her belt, are victories at the Ladies British Amateur Stroke-
play Championship at Leeds in 2015; the Q School International Tour in 2015; the Hero
Women’s Indian Open in 2016 becoming the first Indian to win a Ladies European Tour (LET)
title; the Qatar Ladies Open in 2016; the LET’s Rookie of the Year award in 2016; Lalla Aicha

A regular on the Ladies European Tour and Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour,
she’s made her presence felt with notable performances and achievements at the (2011)

Academic Programs in Sports Introduction The Global Sports Market reached a value of nearly $488.5 billion in 2020, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% since 2014, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% to nearly $614.1 billion by 2022. Growth in the historic period resulted from the emerging markets growth and rapid urbanization. Factors that negatively affected growth in the historic period were unfavorable climate changes and shortages of sports professionals. Going forward, increasing sports sponsorships, growing popularity of e-sports, economic growth, an increase in the number of Internet accessible devices and the emergence of multiple sports channels to capture viewership will drive growth. Factors that could hinder the growth of this market in the future are an increasing threat from home entertainment and increasing regulations on sports. The sports market is segmented by type of engagement into participatory sports and spectator sports. The participatory sports market accounted for the largest share of the sports market in 2018 at 56.4%. The spectator sports market is expected to be the fastest-growing segment going forward at a CAGR of 5.9%. The spectator sports market is segmented by type into sports teams and clubs, and racing and individual sports. The sports teams and clubs market accounted for the largest share of the spectator sports market in 2020 at 72.5%. It is expected to grow the fastest going forward at a CAGR of 6.8%. The participatory sports market is segmented by type into fitness and recreational sports centres, golf courses and country clubs, and others - participatory sports, marinas, bowling centres, and skiing facilities. The fitness and recreational sports centres market accounted for the largest share of the participatory sports market in 2020 at 39.8%. The others - participatory sports market is expected to grow the fastest going forward at a CAGR of 8.4%. The sports market is also segmented by type of revenue source into gate revenue, media rights, sponsorship and merchandising. The sports market by media rights was the largest segment of the sports market in 2020 at 23.7%. The sports market by merchandising is expected to be the fastest-growing segment going forward at a CAGR of 7%. India is no longer just a cricket-loving nation. It is welcoming other sports with equal warmth and support as well. Many other games are now experiencing growth in viewership, participation, and sports-related industries that was once experienced exclusively by cricket. It has opened up new avenues and business opportunities for investors---these range from fields like brand building and infrastructure to niche entrepreneurial ventures, emerging technologies, and services. But the biggest factor is the changing outlook of the population towards sports and fitness. All the above factors are fuelling an increase in the demand for sports-related goods and services. The Indian government has turned its attention to develop the sports sector as a strategy to spur employment, generate additional revenue, and attract foreign investment into the nation, 64 | P a g e Excellence in Sports
apart from nurturing sports talent to bring in laurels for the country. For instance, the federal government’s Khelo India program, for which it set aside a massive Rs 1,756 crores. A national committee was also set up recently to study the state of sports governance. The committee includes some of the most reputed sportspersons, marketing professionals specialized in sports and leading sports brands along with government officials. The private sector is also witnessing a deeper involvement in sports governance. Earlier it was limited only to deals associated with public-private partnerships for specific task-related tenders, like stadium management or overhaul of facilities. Following the rise of IPL, ISL, Hockey India League, Pro-Kabaddi League and Premier Badminton League in the last decade, the Sports Management Industry in India has seen a significant growth eg. IPL alone has grown 5 folds since its inception, employing over 15000 people. The sports management business growth has come primarily on the back of the rising corporate interest in sports. With TV and digital medium providing sports as ‘sportainment’, coupled with regional feeds for sports events, advertising and sponsorship, interest in sports has increased exponentially. Football registered a 227 per cent increase from Rs 265 million in 2013 to Rs 603 million in 2014, due to ISL, while the two tennis leagues and the two kabaddi leagues saw a 1,064 % jump from Rs 70 million to Rs 745 million. We’re surely in the most exciting times for sports and sports management. A degree in sports management field is for those seeking a career in the sports eco-space and also enjoy working with people. Sports Management and Sports Event companies are keen supporters of an education that balances the theoretical with practical and professional development. Employers benefit as they have access to skilled individuals who will be able to join their organizations and quickly move into middle management and supervisory roles.
