<p>Manchester United superstar&nbsp;Cristiano Ronaldo was recently urged by his nephew to part ways with the club after the club suffered an utterly humiliating loss at the hands of Brentford. The 4-0 setback against The Bees<strong> </strong>marked United's second consecutive loss after they kicked off their Premier League season&nbsp;with a 2-1 loss against Brighton Hove &amp; Albion.</p>

<p>The striker has been&nbsp;eagerly trying to switch sides this summer as his Champions League aspirations for this season were dashed due to the club's failure to qualify for the Champions League.

<p>His desire to leave the club in his rearview is something that is being supported by members of his family. His nephew is seemingly the first to support his bid to leave. In a series of posts on his Instagram story, Ronaldo's nephew shared snaps of United's game against Brentford, mocking the club and asking him to move on.</p>

<p>"Get out of there uncle," wrote his nephew on Instagram in Portuguese.</p>

<p>Former New Zealand national cricket team star Ross Taylor recently sent the cricketing community into a frenzy by levelling allegations of getting slapped by one of the owners of his previous IPL team, Rajasthan Royals. His claims were recently addressed by a BCCI official, who said that he was unaware of the incident.</p>

<p>Taylor offered fans some insight into the time he was slapped by one of the owners of the franchise in his recently released autobiography, 'Black &amp; White.' He recalled the time&nbsp;he had gotten out for duck during a steep chase against Kings XI Punjab, now known as Punjab Kings.</p>

<p>He subsequently revealed that the&nbsp;team's owners did not take too kindly to the result, slapping him across the face 'three or four times'. He admitted that although the owner played it off as a joke and the&nbsp;slaps weren't particularly hard, it did not seem like the kind of thing that would take place in any other professional sporting environment across the world.</p>

<p>In a recent interaction with the media, a representative of the BCCI addressed these claims, admitting that he had no knowledge of this incident ever taking place. It is essential to note that the comment was seemingly made in haste as the BCCI rep was preoccupied with travel. "I am on the road travelling now so I do not know exactly what you are talking about," said the official.</p>

<p>The All India Football Federation (FIFA) faces a potential threat of a ban from the world governing body FIFA due to third-party 'influence'. AIFF is currently in turmoil as the board is being run by the Supreme Court (SC)-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) after former president Praful Patel's ouster.</p>

<p>FIFA has threatened to suspend the AIFF and also strip India of the hosting rights for the U-17 Women's World Cup later this year. India are scheduled to host the U-17 Women's World Cup in October this year but might lose the hosting rights for the tournament if FIFA decides to go ahead and ban the organisation.</p>

<p>The warning from FIFA had come after the Supreme Court of India directed the AIFF to conduct elections in the national federation. Indian football team skipper Sunil Chettri, who had earlier said a FIFA ban can prove to be 'catastrophic' for Indian football, was recently once again asked about AIFF's&nbsp;potential suspension.</p>

<p>Speaking at his Indian Super League (ISL) club Bengaluru FC's press conference, Indian captain Chettri advised his teammates to focus on the game and not worry about the threat of a ban from FIFA. The Indian skipper said the matter is not in their control and those involved are doing their best to avoid the potential ban.</p>

<p>"I've spoken to the boys and my advice is to not give it too much attention to this because it is out of your control. People who are involved are doing their best to make sure that we are going to come out with the best results possible. Everyone is working hard towards it," Chettri said in the virtual presser ahead of the start of the new ISL season.</p>

<p>"As far as players are concerned, we are going to make sure that we do our work properly. We have to make sure to&nbsp;better ourselves&nbsp;as players. Whenever you get an opportunity to represent your club or your country, put your best foot forward.

<p>From facing racism in the team's dressing room to getting slapped by the Rajasthan Royals team owner, former New Zealand batter Ross Taylor has made some stunning revelations in his autobiography - 'Ross Taylor: Black &amp; White'. Taylor has also recalled several interesting anecdotes in his book, including one about his coffee outing with India legend Rahul Dravid which went wrong.</p>

<p>Taylor shared the dressing room with Dravid in the Indian Premier League (IPL) when they played together for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) for the first three seasons. The former Kiwi batter became Dravid's teammate once again when he was roped in by Rajasthan Royals in 2011.</p>

<p>While cricketers mostly live a normal life in New Zealand, the same can't be said about India where the players are treated as demigods and enjoy massive popularity in every nook and corner of the country. Taylor got his first taste of what it is like to be an Indian cricketer when he and former South Africa spinner Johan Botha took Rahul Dravid out for a coffee and ended up getting stuck in a mall in Jaipur, Rajasthan.</p>

<p>Taylor was part of the Rajasthan Royals squad along with Dravid and Botha at the time. In his book, the former New Zealand batter revealed how Botha and he asked Dravid to go out with them for a coffee when the team was in Jaipur. They ended up going to a mall which was packed within two minutes as fans queued up to get a glimpse of the Indian legend. The mall security had to be called to escort the trio out.</p>

<p>"The South African off-spinner Johan Botha and I were sitting next to Rahul Dravid at breakfast in Jaipur. We asked him if he wanted to go for a coffee; he didn’t really, but we twisted his arm. We got a cab to a five-storeyed mall. We hadn’t taken any security with us, which was naive. Within two minutes the mall was packed – there were at least 4,000 people – and we had to get mall security to extract us,” Taylor wrote in his book.</p>

<p>The former New Zealand batter further recalled how he and Botha apologised to Dravid, who was unfazed by the incident and remained the gentleman that he is. Dravid told the duo they might have not faced such a crowd had they been in a bigger city like Mumbai where people are used to seeing celebrities regularly.</p>

<p>“I’m sure Rahul saw it coming, but he was too polite to turn us down. “Botes” and I were profusely apologetic on the way back to the hotel. Rahul played it down with his usual class, saying we probably would’ve been okay in a bigger city like Mumbai but, in the smaller cities, they didn’t see big-name cricketers that often. Jaipur’s population is around four million. After that, coffee with Dravid was always in the hotel," Taylor wrote.</p>

<p>India's star shuttler PV Sindhu on Saturday pulled out of the upcoming BWF World Championships owing to a stress fracture on her left foot. In a statement which she shared on Twitter, the double Olympic medallist confirmed that she will be missing the 2022 World Championships.</p>

<p>Sindhu has won the World Championships gold in 2019, along with two silver medals and two bronze.</p>

<p>"While I am on the high of winning a gold medal at the CWG for India. Unfortunately, I have to pull out of the world championships. I felt pain and there was an injury scare at the quarter-finals of the CWG, but with the help of my coach, physio and trainer, I decided to push as far as I could," Sindhu said in the statement.</p>

<p>"The pain was unbearable during and post the finals. Hence I rushed for an MRI as soon as I got back to Hyderabad. The doctors confirmed a stress fracture on my left foot and recommended rest for a few weeks. I should be back to training in a few weeks. Thank you all for your support and love," she added.</p>

<p>Sindhu added a CWG singles gold to her wide array of medals with a convincing straight-game win over Canada's Michelle Li. The world number seven from India outplayed her 13th ranked opponent 21-15 21-13 in front of a packed crowd at the NEC arena in Birmingham.</p>

"The pain was unbearable during and post the finals. Hence I rushed for an MRI as soon as I got back to Hyderabad. The doctors confirmed a stress fracture on my left foot and recommended rest for a few weeks. I should be back to training in a few weeks. Thank you all for your support and love," she added.

<p>Trouble seems to be brewing at Le Parc des Princes as Neymar has seemingly liked a post that criticised teammate and PSG star&nbsp;Kylian Mbappe. The Brazilian was recently snubbed as the primary penalty taker of the team with the Frenchman usurping his position.</p>

<p>However, it is interesting to note that it was Mbappe who recently missed the opportunity to bolster his team's score against Ligue 1 opponents Montpellier by missing a penalty. Neymar, on the other hand, stepped up to the occasion and buried the ball in the back of the net when he was given the opportunity to do so in the second half.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A fan took to social media, criticising the team's decision to sideline Neymar in order to offer Mbappe the position of primary penalty taker.

<p>"It's now official,&nbsp;Mbappe<strong>&nbsp;</strong>is the penalty taker at PSG.

<p>Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo is once again facing flak on social media after he was snubbed the away fans at the Gtech Community Stadium after the club's woeful 4-0 loss against Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday (August 14). Ronaldo didn't acknowledge&nbsp;the away fans at the stadium after the game and stormed into the tunnel following the embarrassing loss.</p>

<p>It was yet another dismal performance from United as their horror run continued under new manager Erik Ten Hag, who has now lost his first two games in charge of the club in the Premier League. There was significant optimism surrounding Ten Hag's arrival at Old Trafford this summer but consecutive defeats in the first two games have left the fan base fuming.</p>

<p>On Saturday, Brentford ran riot at home as the hosts scored 4 goals inside the first 35 minutes at Old Trafford to head into the second half with a stunning 4-0 cushion. Josh Dasilva opened the scoring in the 10th minute followed by goals from Mathias Jensen, Ben Mee and Bryan Mbeumo as Brentford registered a comprehensive win against United.</p>

<p>Following the shocking defeat, a number of United players went on to acknowledge the fans at the away end, who kept chanting in support of the club despite their 4-0 defeat to Brentford. However, Portuguese star Ronaldo didn't approach the fans and was spotted leaving midway despite insistence from manager Ten Hag’s assistant Steve McClaren.&nbsp;</p>

<p>India's&nbsp;Cheteshwar Pujara recently made his way to the headlines after recording a stunning performance, scoring&nbsp;107 runs in 79 balls while playing for Sussex against&nbsp;Warwickshire at the&nbsp;Royal London One-Day Cup 2022 match.&nbsp;Pujara recorded an excellent run, as he scored&nbsp;22 runs in a single over.</p>

<p>However, Pujara's impressive outing on the field was not enough to push Sussex over&nbsp;Warwickshire as they fell short by&nbsp;four runs while chasing&nbsp;a target of 311 runs. Pujara impressed fans by leading Sussex's charge against&nbsp;Warwickshire, scoring&nbsp;seven fours and two sixes.</p>

Cheteshwar Pujara reveals he felt 'pukish' after smashing 22 runs off a single over for Sussex

<p>Manchester United's disastrous run continued under new manager Erik Ten Hag on Saturday as the Red Devils suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat against Brentford in the Premier League. It was a forgetful outing for Harry Maguire &amp; Co., who have now lost two games in a row so far this season and are currently reeling at the bottom of the Premier League table.</p>

<p>It was an awful start for United in the game as they found themselves trailing inside the first ten minutes after a terrible mistake from goalkeeper David De Gea saw Josh Dasilva put Brentford ahead 1-0. What followed was a shambolic first half for United at Gtech Community Stadium as Brentford smashed three more goals in the next 25 minutes to lead 4-0 at halftime.</p>

<p>United failed to break the deadlock even in the second half as they were handed a stark reality check by Brentford at home, leaving manager Ten Hag frustrated and fuming at the end of the final whistle. The Dutchman, who arrived at the club from Ajax earlier this summer, slammed his players for their poor show in the game and admitted he would have substituted the entire playing XI at halftime if he had the choice.</p>

<p>Ten Hag replaced Luke Shaw, Fred and Lisandro Martinez after a disastrous first half from United where they ended up conceding 4 goals against Brentford. The United boss also admitted Brentford were a hungrier team than United on the pitch and his players didn't follow his plans in the game.</p>

<p>"I subbed three but I could've changed them all," a disappointed Ten Hag said after United's defeat.</p>

<p>"We want to bring some fresh energy in the game, so not specific to the ones we sub because I don't think that's honest to them. I think we all have seen the game and I think Brentford was more hungry. We have to question that and we will do in the coming hours. You can have a good plan but we had to put the plan into the bin," he added.</p>

<p>Ten Hag was brutal in his assessment after United's humiliating loss and said his team have been 'naive' when asked about his tactics after the home team conceded the 2nd goal while trying to play from the back.

'I could have changed them all': Erik Ten Hag slams Manchester United players after Brentford battering

<p>Sachin Tendulkar is often credited to have made India fall in love with cricket with his batting heroics during his playing days. One of the greatest batters of all time, Tendulkar made a&nbsp;mockery of some of the best bowling attacks in the world to notch up almost every record in international cricket.</p>

<p>The only man with 100 international centuries under his belt, Tendulkar scored his first ton against England today (August 14), in 1990. It was the start of a special era in Indian cricket as Tendulkar would go on to smash 99 more hundreds and do the unthinkable. He was the first to achieve the remarkable feat of 100 international tons and remains the only batter to do so.</p>

<p>His first century came during a Test match against England at Old Trafford in Manchester. After scoring 68 runs in India's first innings, the Master Blaster followed it up with a brilliant knock of 119 runs in the visitors' second innings to help them draw the Test and reach the triple-figure mark for the first time in international cricket.</p>

<p>Sachin was just 17 years and 112 days old at the time and became the third-youngest player to score a ton in international cricket. It took the batting legend eight Test matches to notch up his first century for India and there was no looking back from there as he went on to complete 100 tons in international cricket.</p>

<p>Tendulkar made his debut for India in a Test match against arch-rivals Pakistan in November 1989 and was quick to establish his credentials as one of the most prodigious batting talents in the world at the time. He took little time to settle at the highest level and let his bat do the talking against the best bowlers in the world.</p>

<p>While he is the only batter with 100 international centuries to his name, Tendulkar is also the leading run-getter of all time in international cricket. He played 200 Tests, 463 ODIs and 1 T20I for India, amassing 15,921, 18,426 and 10 runs in the three formats respectively.</p>
