Donald Trump’s America may have the power to impose sanctions, restrict visas and exert military and diplomatic pressure on Iran, but sport has a way of producing results that politics cannot script. Rupha Ramani breaks down Saghar Moradi's stunning taekwondo world title in China, and why an Iranian flag rising at an international sporting event holds added weight amid the US-Iran confrontation.
Meanwhile, Sanju Samson is back in India’s T20I squad for Afghanistan, but his return comes with a question. A question of what exactly does India want from its 2026 T20 World Cup Player of the Tournament? He comes back after missing the last T20I series against Zimbabwe. Now, he returns and is part of the Asian Games as well. Rupha Ramani dissects Samson's constantly changing role, omissions, the Vaibhav Sooryavanshi factor and why continuity remains the biggest missing piece in Samson's India story.
Also in the show is Naomi Osaka, who is once again making headlines for everything around her except her tennis. She is part of the US Open currently and is in the news for all the right and wrong reasons. From her newspaper-inspired outfit to the criticism that has followed her choices all year, Rupha Ramani looks at why Osaka’s self-expression keeps becoming a bigger story than the sport itself.
