We are a community built on alumni pride, student passion, and a shared commitment to developing the next generation of athletes. ## Photos and videos - [Video: A special message from one of Jamia's most distinguished alumni, Virender Sehwag, congratulating the university and reminiscing about starting his cricket journey right here.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/23f72cd6-1d2a-42da-b895-38edd7de88f3) - [Video: "We play to win, not just to defeat others."

When our Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Mazhar Asif, or our Honorary Directors visit, they aren't just observing—they are engaging with students, understanding the challenges of daily training, and driving infrastructure improvements to support athletes across all disciplines. ### Building a Legacy At M.A.K. Pataudi Sports Complex, we operate on a simple principle: Jamia se badi koi cheez nahi (nothing is bigger than Jamia). Our leadership team—led by Honorary Director Prof. Nafis Ahmad and Deputy Director Dr. Mohammad Abid—works directly with coaches and students to ensure that every athlete, from a casual gym-goer to a varsity cricket player, has the support they need to succeed. ### The 'Go for the Kill' Mentality We don't believe in just participating. Our leadership instills a competitive culture where athletes play to win, not just to defeat others. This ethos is echoed by our distinguished alumni, including Virender Sehwag, who often reminds us that his journey started right here on our grounds. This connection to our history keeps our community grounded and hungry for success. ### Community and Inclusion Sports at Jamia isn't restricted to elite athletes. Through initiatives like the Jamia Premier League (JPL) and inter-faculty tournaments, our leadership fosters a sense of brotherhood among staff and students. Whether it is improving the floodlit cricket ground or managing admissions under the sports quota, our mission remains the same: talent ko nikalna (to identify talent) and making sure every student gets their moment to shine. ## About MAK Pataudi Sports Complex We are the M.A.K. Pataudi Sports Complex, the beating heart of Jamia Millia Islamia. We don't just provide space to play; we build character, foster brotherhood, and carry forward a legacy that includes legends like Sehwag.
