All hell broke loose for the&nbsp;Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) treasurer&nbsp;and Uttar Pradesh Olympic Association secretary&nbsp;Anandeshwar Pandey when a&nbsp;plethora of images of him in a compromising position with multiple women emerged&nbsp;online.

Pandey&nbsp;told&nbsp;The Bridge, "Somebody is out to defame me. I have made a complaint against unnamed individuals, but this is a political conspiracy and there must be a big person's hand behind it."

"If any of the athletes who come to train ever complains against me, hang me. I will kill myself. I have been in sports since the 1970s, there has never been any such incident," he added.

After such a strong response from the IOA treasurer, it remains to be seen what unfolds further in the controversy, which has certainly brought a lot of shame for Pandey.

'Hang me, I will kill myself...' - UP Olympic Association secretary slams baseless allegations

Daniel Ricciardo and McLaren will split at the end of the Formula One season after a buyout was negotiated with the Australian on the final year of his contract. Ricciardo held the option on 2023 for his seat at McLaren but his performance has been underwhelming through 35 races. Although he did score McLaren's first Formula One victory since 2012 with a win last September at Monza, Ricciardo has been outperformed by teammate Lando Norris nearly every race weekend.

The 33-year-old Ricciardo has just one podium with McLaren and only 19 points this season. Norris has one podium this season and 76 points. It's been a privilege to be a part of the McLaren Racing family for the last two seasons," Ricciardo said in a statement on Wednesday, adding he'd been in talks about his future with McLaren for several months" before reaching a mutual agreement to end the deal a year early.

"I'll be announcing my own future plans in due course but regardless of what this next chapter brings, I have no regrets and am proud of the effort and work I gave McLaren, especially the win in Monza, last season,&nbsp;Ricciardo added. "I've never been more motivated to compete and be a part of a sport that I love so much and look forward to what comes next.

McLaren head Zak Brown in May acknowledged that Ricciardo's seat was shaky and said there were mechanisms&nbsp;in which the driver and team could split ahead of the 2023 season. The mechanism turned out to be a buyout since Ricciardo held the option on next season. Although initial reports suggested Ricciardo was seeking more than $20 million to exit the team early, it is believed McLaren paid $15 million to end the contract.

McLaren is widely believed to have signed F2 champion Oscar Piastri, also an Australian, for Ricciardo's seat. No announcement has been made by McLaren, but Piastri has declined a promotion to F1 with Alpine. 
Daniel has been a great addition to McLaren, and it's been a pleasure working with him," said Brown. It's no secret that we hoped we could achieve more together but seeing him stand on the top step of the podium as a McLaren driver was a highlight.

Following the Monza victory, Brown and Ricciardo visited a tattoo parlor in Texas so that Brown could commemorate the win with a permanent inking of the Monza circuit on his arm. He also rewarded Ricciardo by allowing him to drive the late Dale Earnhardt's iconic No. 3 Chevrolet stock car in a demonstration at Circuit of the Americas. Brown owns the car and Ricciardo idolized Earnhardt as a child. McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl thanked Ricciardo for his dedication and contribution? since joining the team.

Despite the shared challenges, he has always turned up with a fighting spirit and positivity and helped the entire team to always keep pushing forward,&nbsp;Seidl said. "We will never forget that memorable race win in Monza which was a great boost for the whole team. We still have an important battle in the constructors' championship ahead of us for the remainder of the season and we look forward to battle this out with Daniel and Lando.

Norris and Ricciardo helped McLaren to a fourth-place finish in the constructors championship last season. 
Ricciardo, one of the most popular drivers in F1, is in his 12th season and has eight career victories.

Daniel Ricciardo and McLaren to part ways ahead of 2023 after buyout

In her own way, Serena Williams hinted at her possible retirement in a Vogue article in early August. While there are speculations regarding the forthcoming US Open 2022 edition being Serena's last Grand Slam appearance, her message was clear to the tennis world that the superstar is set to call it quits post the showpiece event, which commences on August 29.&nbsp;

Ahead of her last major event, Serena is sweating hard for a memorable farewell from the game that she given her a lot of recognition and applause worldwide. Wtih 23 Grand Slam titles, Serena would be desperately eyeing the&nbsp;24th Slam which will see her end at&nbsp;level with Aussie great&nbsp;Margaret Court at the top of the all-time list. Thus, there's a lot riding on her shoulders ahead of the American's swansong.

Nonetheless, tennis great Martina Navratilova feels Serena won't have a fairytale ending. Martina reflected on her retirement decision and told Reuters, "It's hard. When I retired in '93 I told the press it was my last year which was a mistake because every single tournament was a freaking tear-jerker."

"Serena did it her way, which was announcing in a very glamorous way on Vogue magazine, but then she is not accepting the losses, she is not accepting what comes with it which is saying goodbye,"&nbsp;Navratilova further asserted.

The 65-year-old Martina came hard on Serena for not even acknowleding the crowd post her recent defeat to teenager Emma Raducanu in the&nbsp;Cincinnati Open last week. Hence, the veteran feels Serena should accept results the way they come and opined that a memorable end might not be in store for her compatriot given her rusty form (with only a solitary win since last year's Round of 16 defeat in French Open).

"Emotions can only carry you so far, I don't see a Cinderella happy ending where she wins the tournament. The way she has looked it doesn't look like she is going to make a miraculous comeback and win the tournament. And with the stress of knowing this is likely your last tournament it doesn't help. But if anyone can overcome it would be Serena," added Navratilova.

'There will be.....': Tennis great Martina Navratilova on Serena Williams' fate at US Open

Recently, Virat Kohli completed 1,000 days since his last international ton. Kohli's last triple-figure score came in late 2019. Back then, no one knew a word about Covid-19. Kohli was India's all-format skipper. India still remained unbeaten versus Pakistan in World Cup history. IPL remained an eight-team tournament. MS Dhoni hadn't announced international retirement.

In a nutshell, it has been very long since Kohli broke his international century drought. To date, his dismal run surprises many -- even though it has now lasted&nbsp;for nearly three years. While he is getting vital scores under his belt at regular intervals (although it has evaded him since the beginning of IPL 2022 as well), cricket fans remain stunned seeing someone struggle for big scores who had made it a habit of performing consistently across formats.

Such was Kohli's knack for scoring centuries that Australia's current white-ball captain Aaron Finch had made heads turn applauding King Kohli's heroics with a heartfelt tweet in 2016. He wrote, "Dear Virat Kohli, Can you please stop making batting look so easy, it's embarrassing for most other batters in the world. Thanks"

Nonetheless, the harsh reality at present is that the 33-year-old Kohli is now struggling for big scores. As he gears up for his international return -- post the England tour -- in the forthcoming&nbsp;Asia Cup 2022, here's reliving Kohli's career-defining 183 that came in the tournament's 2012 edition&nbsp;versus Pakistan:

On March 18 2012, MS Dhoni-led India faced Mishab-ul-Haq's Pakistan in the Asia Cup, held in the 50-over format. Indian bowlers were in for a leather hunt on a batting track as Pakistani openers Nasir Jamshed and Mohammad Hafeez's respective tons, and their 224-run opening stand, along with Younis Khan's 34-ball 52 propelled Men in Green to 329/6, after they opted to bat first. Praveen Kumar and Ashok Dinda accounted for two wickets each but R Ashwin remained economical, ending with 10-0-56-1.&nbsp;

In reply, India lost Gautam Gambhir -- who scored a ton in the previous game versus Sri Lanka -- for a 2-ball duck. Kohli, who also scored a century in the Lanka face-off, came at No. 3. At first, Sachin Tendulkar played the aggressor's role, using his experience to keep the scoreboard ticking. He fell for a well-compiled 48-ball 52 (his last international inning) before the Kohli show resumed. At 133-2, Kohli was joined by current Indian captain Rohit Sharma as the duo showed their class and maturity to keep India moving forward in the tall run-chase.

Rohit-Kohli found the gaps, ran well between wickets, picked their bowlers smartly to take India ahead. Kohli kept getting better with each over and raced to his career-best 183 (remains his highest ODI score to date). His innings was laced with 22 fours and two sixes, at a whopping strike rate of 123.65. Courtesy of his impressive knock, India completed the run-chase with six wickets in hand, along with 13 balls to spare. Rohit also played his part with a cautious 83-ball 68. The two were involved in an entertaining 168-run knock as Dhoni &amp; Co. defeated Pakistan with ease.

Kohli's 183 remains the highest score by a batter in Asia Cup history. So far, he has 613 runs from 11 matches in the tournament, at a staggering average of 61.30 including three tons and a solitary half-century. Will King Kohli rediscover his form in the forthcoming Asia Cup, against one of his favourite opponents?

Well, not many days remain for us to know all the answers with India taking&nbsp;on Pakistan on August 28, in Dubai.

Asia Cup: Reminiscing Virat Kohli's career-defining 183 versus Pakistan in 2012 edition

The Asia Cup 2022 edition is about to kick off on August 27 (Saturday). Undoubtedly, the hype regarding the forthcoming tournament is very high given that two Asian giants India and Pakistan are set to lock horns with each other in their respective tournament-openers on August 28, at the iconic Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

The rivalry between the two senior teams will resume once again, following their last face-off in the 2021 T20 World Cup. Interestingly, the last clash between both sides also took place at the same venue, in Dubai, where Babar Azam &amp; Co. demolished India by ten wickets to break their World Cup jinx versus their neighbouring country. Given the Asia Cup is being held in the shortest format as a dress rehearsal for the 2022 T20 World Cup, to be held in Australia from October-November, Rohit Sharma-led India and the Men in Green will leave no stone unturned to emerge on top in the Asian championship.

While India and Pakistan are placed in the same group (Pool A), they will meet on August 28. However, there's a catch. For the unversed, cricket fans are in for a treat as the two heavyweights are likely to meet each other as many as three times overall in the 2022 edition.

As India and Pakistan are expected to run past the other qualifying team -- who will join them in Pool A -- and enter the Super 4, they are likely to be pitted against each other on September 4 (Sunday). As Rohit-led Men in Blue and Pakistan are two of the strongest teams and, thus, they are expected to top the Super 4 and face-off in the tournament finale as well, i.e. on September 11.

Having said that, one cannot write off competitive and ever-improving teams such as Afghanistan, Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangladesh and Dasun Shanaka's Sri Lanka. If a lot of upsets take place, the finalists can appear to be different than the ones many expect at this point.&nbsp;

India and Pakistan have never played in the Asia Cup final so far. Will the script change this time around? Only time will tell...

Having said that, one cannot write off competitive and ever-improving teams such as Afghanistan, Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangladesh and Dasun Shanaka's Sri Lanka. If a lot of upsets take place, the finalists can appear to be different than the ones many expect at this point. India and Pakistan have never played in the Asia Cup final so far. Will the script change this time around? Only time will tell...

Asia Cup 2022: EXPLAINED! How India might take on Pakistan thrice in mega event

Ben Stokes remains a vital cog for England in Tests and T20Is, after retiring from ODI cricket last month. Stokes, the English Test team, often remains in the headlines and had made heads turn for all the wrong reasons in late 2017 when he was involved in a Bristol nightclub brawl.

The incident took place just before the then Joe Root-led England's&nbsp;Ashes 2017&nbsp;versus Australia Down Under. The 31-year-old Stokes was back then alleged of knocking down a person unconscious outside a nightclub in Bristol. This led to the star cricketer being banned for eight matches and he even missed a Test match in the following year, versus Virat Kohli's India, to attend a trial of his case.

Later, the Bristol Crown Court found him not guilty and, hence, Stokes resumed his services for England cricket team and was even adjudged the Player-of-the-Match in Eoin Morgan &amp; Co.'s famous 2019 ODI World Cup final win over New Zealand, at Lord's. Thus, he redeemed himself successfully and has moved on from the infamous incident. Nonetheless, Stokes recalled the incident once again and shared the impact it has had on his family.

"My wife Clare makes a great point of saying that just because when the verdict came in, don't assume that was the end of that incident. That Bristol incident will still have an effect on my life and on our lives in the future. Just an example - we're going to have to sit our kids down one day and explain what that was all about,” Stokes told the BBC.

"As they get older, no doubt people will ask them about it and we don't want them to be in the dark about that and then to come home and ask about it," the England Test skipper&nbsp;added.

Stokes-led England are currently involved in a three-match Test series versus visitors Dean Elgar-led South Africa. England lost the first Test by a whopping an innings and 12 runs and will need to regroup to keep the series alive in the second and penultimate Test, which gets underway on August 25 at Old Trafford, Manchester.

'We don't want our kids...' - England Test captain Ben Stokes recalls Bristol nightclub brawl

Cheteshwar Pujara is on a run-scoring spree for Sussex. After a splendid run in the&nbsp;County Championship Division Two &nbsp;-- ending&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;tally of 1094 runs in 13 innings at&nbsp;109.40 including three double tons&nbsp;among&nbsp;five centuries -- India's Test specialist has carried his unbelievable form in the Royal London&nbsp;One-Day Cup. As a result,&nbsp;the right-hander scored his&nbsp;third century in five games for Sussex.

With this, Pujara has surpassed India's former captain Virat Kohli and Pakistan's batting sensation and all-format skipper Babar Azam in an elusive list to&nbsp;stand second in world cricket. Riding on a 75-ball century before he ended at 132 off 90 deliveries, Pujara combined with opener&nbsp;Tom Alsop's unbeaten 189 to help Sussex post a mammoth 400/4 versus&nbsp;Middlesex&nbsp;in&nbsp;Group A tie, in Hove.&nbsp;

Courtesy of his impressive knock, Pujara has surpassed both Kohli and Babar to achieve the second-highest batting average in List A cricket consisting of a&nbsp;minimum of 100 innings. The right-hander's current average of 57.48 in 109 innings is only second to Australia's former finisher Michael Bevan, who averaged 57.86 in 153 innings. Meanwhile, Babar comes next&nbsp;comprising an average of 56.56 in 153 innings followed by Kohli. The Indian star batter follows suit with an average of&nbsp;56.60 in 286 innings.

In addition, Pujara's third ton of the tournament helped him&nbsp;become only the second batter in this season to go beyond the 500-run mark. Post his 132-run knock, which helped Sussex beat Middlesex by a whopping 157-run margin, his&nbsp;tally now reads a staggering&nbsp;614 runs in eight innings. His scores are as follows&nbsp;- 9 (16), 63 (71), 14* (7), 107 (79), 174 (131), 49* (68), 66 (66), 132 (90).

England midfielder Jill Scott announced her retirement from soccer on Tuesday, the second member of the Euro 2022-winning team to do so in two days. The 35-year-old Scott's decision comes after Ellen White, the team's record scorer, said Monday she was retiring. Both Scott and White played in the final of the Women's European Championship on July 31, when England beat Germany 2-1 after extra time.

Scott made her England debut in 2006 and had a total of 161 international appearances second only to Fara Williams with 172 and scored 27 goals for the national side. She had been without a club after leaving Manchester City at the end of last season.

"I may be saying my goodbyes to football, but we're going to make this a celebration. No sad faces!! We've had too much fun for any tears," Scott wrote on The Players' Tribune website. Maybe it's because I'm from Sunderland, but two things have always been true about me: I've always been stubborn and I've always loved football. "It's been in my blood ever since I was five years old. I saw a load of boys playing in the school yard and I walked straight up to them and said the four magic words ... Can I play too?'. Imagine, if you would have told me then that I'd go on to play for England for 16 years.

"If you would have told me that I'd live to see 90,000 people packed into Wembley Stadium for a women's European final? And that I'd be playing in it? Impossible. Scott began her career with hometown Sunderland before spending seven years at Everton and then joining City in 2013. She later had loan spells back at Everton and Aston Villa. She won every domestic honor during her time in the game, including the Women's Super League title with City in 2017.

She made four substitute appearances in England's triumphant Euro 2022 campaign, including the final against Germany.

Babar Azam will enter the forthcoming Asia Cup as the No. 1 batter in the ICC T20I rankings. He has been in sensational form in the ongoing calendar year and even holds the numero uno position in ODI rankings. Babar is set to be pitted against one of his greatest rivals Virat Kohli when India and Pakistan face each other in the 2022 Asia Cup edition, in the UAE.

Kohli, on the other hand, is entering the Asian championship with all eyes on him. The 33-year-old had a woeful tour of England, without a single half-century across formats, and also had an ordinary run in IPL 2022, for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Kohli, with 70 international tons, last scored a century at the highest level in late 2019. Thus, he has his back against the wall.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram recently joined the best batsmen debate while talking about Babar and Kohli. Sharing his views at a press conference, the ex-swingking&nbsp;stated that Babar is on&nbsp;track to be one of the modern greats.&nbsp;"The comparisons are only natural. When we played people used to compare Inzamam, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar. Before that it was Sunil Gavaskar Javed Miandad, G Vishwanath and Zaheer Abbas. Babar has been very consistent, because he has got the right technique. He is very hungry and very fit. He is still a young captain but is learning very fast," Akram told&nbsp;Star Sports.

He added, "However, comparisons with Virat it is too early. Babar is on the right track to be where Virat Kohli is but to compare him with him at this stage is too early. But he is absolutely on the right track to be one of the modern greats."

It will be interesting to see who among Kohli and Babar will have the last laugh in the forthcoming India-Pakistan showdown at the Asia Cup, which will be held in the shortest format as a dress rehearsal for the 2022 T20 World Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo isn't having the best of time of late. While reports have been floating around that the superstar striker isn't very keen to continue at Manchester United, he currently has no other option but to stay put while his agent Jorge Mendes is continuously searching for a new club. Amid all this, the 37-year-old&nbsp;Portuguese star is having a tough time at the Erik Ten Hag-led Man United camp in the ongoing English Premier League (EPL) 2022/23 season.&nbsp;

Ronaldo has so far not been named in the starting XI in any of the three games for Man United&nbsp;in EPL 2022/23. He has only&nbsp;made brief appearances in all three encounters -- versus Brighton, Brentford, and Liverpool respectively. While United finally got off the mark in the new season -- following disastrous defeats in their opening two clashes -- with a 2-1 win over Liverpool&nbsp;at Old Trafford on August 23, Ronaldo once again appeared in the second half (in the 86th minute) and failed to create any impact. No one knows what the future holds for Ronaldo at Man United, however, many feel he isn't fitting in&nbsp;Erik Ten Hag's scheme of things.&nbsp;

When asked about the same, while speaking to the press after United's stunning 2-1 win over Liverpool, the Dutchman made an interesting reply.&nbsp; "I think he can. In his whole career, he, under several managers, he did in several styles and systems," Ten Hag said.

The Dutch tactician further asserted on big names such as Ronaldo, captain Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Fred starting on the bench versus Liverpool. In this regard, he said,&nbsp;"He always performed, so, why he can't do this? For me, his age is not an issue. If you are young, you are good enough, and when you are old and you still deliver the performance, you are also good enough. We have a squad and then we have a way of play, a style, but also, a game-plan, and you look what is the best approach to the game, and that is what we did today. We do it every game, so, today we picked those players but can be Saturday (at Southampton), and it can be different."

"We need a squad, because we have many games to cover, and so, if we make a team out of the squad and we stick together as a squad then we can achieve a lot. I'm convinced about that."

After their first-ever win over Liverpool since 2018, Man United will now lock horns with Southampton on Saturday (August 27), which will be an away clash.
