On Thursday (February 24), Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar slammed advertisements on social media that contain&nbsp;morphed images of him endorsing a casino. Tendulkar, who remains one of the greatest batters of all-time, took to his official Twitter handle and cautioned people&nbsp;to remain vigilant about the fake advertisements circulating on social media platforms.

Tendulkar captioned his post, "It has come to my notice that there are multiple ads being shown on social media platforms, with a morphed photo showing me endorsing a casino. I have never endorsed gambling, tobacco or alcohol - directly or indirectly, in an individual capacity. it pains to see that my images are being used to mislead people," Tendulkar said in a social media post.

"While my legal team will be taking the required action, I felt it was important for me to share this information with everyone," he added.

For the unversed, Tendulkar didn't even endorse tobacco or alcohol brands even during his playing days at the highest level. Thus, the 48-year-old -- who enjoys a flawless image worldwide -- has strongly reacted&nbsp;to the use of his fake images for endorsing&nbsp;something he doesn't promote at any level.&nbsp;

Tendulkar, who retired with over 34,000 international runs and 100 centuries, reacted to the advertisements on the day the entire cricketing fraternity is celebrating the 12th anniversary of his maiden double ton in ODIs. On this day in 2010, the right-hander had become the first-ever in men's cricket to slam a double hundred in the 50-over format, during an ODI versus South Africa in Gwalior.

Virat Kohli dropped a bomb on the day the second and final leg of the IPL 2021 edition commenced in the UAE, i.e. on September 19. Back then, Kohli revealed that he won't be captaining the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise after the end of the 14th edition.

In a video shared by the RCB franchise on Twitter, Kohli told, "This will be my last IPL as captain of RCB. I’ll continue to be an RCB player till I play my last IPL game. I thank all the RCB fans for believing in me and supporting me. I spoke to the management this evening. This was something that was on my mind... I needed the space to refresh, regroup and be absolutely clear in how to move forward."

Recently, on "The RCB Podcast", Kohli explained his decision behind quitting as Bengaluru's captain and said, "I’m not someone who holds onto things more than I should. Even if I know I can do a lot more, if I’m not going to enjoy the process, I’m not going to do it. Because it’s very difficult for people to understand your decisions unless they are in your situation. From the outside, people have their own expectations ‘Oh! How did that happen? We are so shocked'."

He further pointed out, "There was actually nothing at all. I keep my life very simple and basic, when I wanted to make a decision, I made a decision and I announced it. I didn’t want to think about it and contemplate it for another year. That would’ve done nothing to me, nothing to the environment I’m part of. Quality of life is something very important to me. And the quality of cricket is something very important to me.

"Over a period of time, you want to do what you’re doing day-in-and-day-out and you want to do as much as you can, but at the end of the day, you have to realize that quality is far more important than quantity," added the 33-year-old Kohli.

Under Kohli, the three-time runners-up RCB won 64 games in 140 matches, losing as many as 69 fixtures. The 33-year-old captained the Bengaluru-based franchise&nbsp;from 2011-2021 (becoming the full-time skipper since 2013) but couldn't lead them to the coveted title. In 2016, Kohli-led RCB played the season-finale where the&nbsp;David Warner's Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) beat them by 8 runs.

At present, Kohli is enjoying a bio-bubble break and won't take part in the India-Sri Lanka T20Is, starting on February 24. He will return for the two Tests between both sides, which wil get underway on March 04.

Mayank Agarwal is set to become the next captain of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) franchise. The announcement is likely to be made very soon. Mayank was the only capped player retained by the Punjab franchise before the mega auction. While it seemed to be a contest between Mayank and Shikhar Dhawan -- whom the franchise roped in the mega auction -- for the top post, the right-hander is almost certain to succeed his good friend and former Punjab captain, KL Rahul.

"In all likelihood, Mayank will captain the side. The announcement is expected later this week. Dhawan is a welcome addition to the side and was always on the radar at the auction. He is a champion player but it seems Punjab were keen on Mayank as captain ever since K L Rahul left the team," an IPL source told PTI.

Mayank had joined the franchise back in 2018. In IPL 2020 edition, he amassed 424 runs at a whopping strike-rate of 156.45 whereas he ended with 441&nbsp;runs, with 4 half-centuries, at a strike-rate of 140.44 in last year's IPL season.&nbsp;

Talking about Shikhar, he was roped in by the team management for a whopping INR 82.5 million (INR 8.25 crore) in the mega auction. Being a senior player, and a former full-time captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), there were talks that he might pip Mayank for the top job. However, the&nbsp;Punjab franchise seems to have zeroed in on Mayank.

The 2019-20 winners Liverpool narrowed the gap with Premier League leaders Manchester City to just three points after a thumping 6-0 win at home to Leeds United. Two penalties from Mohamed Salah and a close-range finish from Joel Matip put Liverpool 3-0 up at the break against a rival that, as usual, looked lively in attack and vulnerable in defense. 
 
Sadio Mane netted a fourth for Liverpool in the 80th minute after Salah and Jordan Henderson combined to give the Senegalese forward an open goal on Wednesday night. There was still time for two more goals, as Mane netted his second and Liverpool`s fifth in the 90th minute from close range. Virgil van Dijk then added a sixth with a powerful header from a corner as his side sounded out a warning to Pep Guardiola`s Manchester City, reports Xinhua. 
 
City are at the top of the table with 63 points from 26 matches with Liverpool now moving to 60 off 26. Chelsea are placed third with 50 points but have a match to play.

Meanwhile, in other matches on the night, Watford coach Roy Hodgson had an unhappy reunion with his former club as Crystal Palace won 4-1 at Vicarage Road to deepen Watford`s relegation worries. 
 
Although Moussa Sissoko quickly canceled out Jean-Phillipe Matete`s 15th-minute opener for the visitors, Conor Gallagher continued his excellent form with a 42nd-minute effort to restore Palace`s lead and two late goals from Wilfried Zaha gave the final score a sheen that flattered the visitors. 
 
Burnley gave their survival hopes a huge boost at the expense of Tottenham`s European ambitions, thanks to Ben Mee`s powerful header which gave them a 1-0 win at home to Antonio Conte`s side.

Half-centuries from Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur and Mithali Raj helped India avoid a series whitewash by registering a six-wicket victory over New Zealand in the fifth and final ODI here on Thursday. 
 
Mandhana (71 from 84 deliveries) and Harmanpreet (63 from 66) helped pace India`s run chase and Mithali (54 not out from 66) provided the finishing touches, as the visitors successfully chased down New Zealand`s handy total of 251/9 with four overs remaining. 
 
It was India`s only victory of the five-match ODI series, with New Zealand claiming a 4-1 series triumph ahead of the ICC Women`s Cricket World Cup next month, according to a report on ICC`s official website. 
 
With skipper Sophie Devine (34) and in-form batter Amelia Kerr (66) scoring with ease early in proceedings, it looked like the Kiwis were on track to set India an even larger target for victory.

But India`s spinners helped put the clamps on the hosts during the middle overs, with Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/61), Deepti Sharma (2/42) and Sneh Rana (2/40) picking up six wickets between them to ensure the home side could only scramble past 250 in their final over. 
 
Smriti got on top of the New Zealand bowlers early in the reply, putting the loss of fellow opener Shafali Verma (9) behind her to ensure India stayed well inside the required run rate. 
 
When Smriti fell in the 29th over it provided New Zealand a glimmer of hope, but Harmanpreet steadied the ship with an excellent knock that put the victory target within sight. 
 
While Harmanpreet fell to Hannah Rowe in the 43rd over, it was too little too late as Mithali ensured the visitors cruised home to avoid an embarrassing series whitewash. 
 
Brief scores: 
 
New Zealand Women 251/9 in 50 overs (Amelia Kerr 66, Sophie Davine (34); Rajeshwari Gayakwad (2/61), Deepti Sharma (2/42), Sneh Rana (2/40) lost to India Women 252/4 off 46 overs (Smriti Mandhana 71, Harmanpreet Kaur (63) and Mithali Raj 54 not out; Hannah Rowe 1/41) by six wickets.

Anthony Elanga`s 80th-minute goal gave Manchester United a 1-1 draw away to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie. The result flattered United, who did very little in the game played on Wednesday night, but at the same time, it was a punishment for Atletico for not taking chances and their tendency to defend a narrow lead. 
 
The game was just seven minutes old when Atletico took the lead. United half-cleared a corner, but Renan Lodi whipped the ball back into the area for Joao Felix to race in ahead of Harry Maguire and head the ball past David de Gea and in off the post. 
 
United were struggling to connect in attack, while Atletico looked threatening every time they pushed forward, although having taken the lead, they were content to sit deep and look to play on the break, reports Xinhua. 
 
At the half-hour mark, De Gea was United`s saviour as he denied Angel Correa when the striker was through on goal after robbing Raphael Varane, who moments afterward again gave the ball away to Geoffrey Kondogbia. 
 
As the session progressed, things got increasingly scrappy with Cristiano Ronaldo, booed every time he touched the ball, coming in for some rough treatment, before Sime Vrsaljko rattled the crossbar with a header when he should have scored following a cross from Lodi.

Any hopes that United would improve after half-time were soon dashed as they continued in the same vein that had seen them struggle in the first 45 minutes, with slack defending and too many misplaced passes. 
 
Coach Ralf Rangnick finally reacted in the 67th minute with a triple substitution as Lindelof, Luke Shaw and Paul Pogba were replaced by Alex Telles, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Nemanja Matic. 
 
The 19-year-old Elanga also came on for Marcus Rashford in the 76th minute, and he levelled the scores within four minutes. Bruno Fernandes found a rare gap in the Atletico defense and the youngster rolled the ball across Jan Oblak and into the back of the net. 
 
It was his side`s first shot on target in the whole game, but was enough to give them a good result for the return leg in three weeks.

Champions League: Anthony Elanga scores as Manchester United-Atletico Madrid tie end in 1-1 stalemate

Teams at the women`s World Cup in New Zealand will be allowed to field a side with only nine players if their squad is hit by COVID-19, the governing International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Thursday. 
New Zealand reported more than 6,000 new cases of COVID-19, with 250 hospitalisations, and the government expects the outbreak to peak in mid-March.

ICC head of events Chris Tetley said teams would be allowed to field nine players plus two female members of their support staff in case of a COVID-19 outbreak in their camps. "From a COVID-19 perspective, we need to be a little bit flexible, as far as the way in which we manage the game to take into account these unique circumstances," he said. "And if they have female substitutes from within their management team, we would allow two substitutes to play - non-batting, non-bowling - to enable a game to take place." 
Teams have been granted three travelling reserves along with their 15-member squads.

While the ICC would consider rescheduling fixtures in case of any medical crisis in the eight-team tournament, Tetley said there could be "logistical constraints". "We`ll be asking teams to show maximum flexibility and we`ll be as flexible as possible if the need arises to fulfil our objective, which is to get the games on," he said.

He also announced unlimited Super Overs, which would prevent a repeat of the men`s 2019 World Cup final which England won on boundary countback after the match had ended in a tie. "We would have, were it necessary, unlimited super overs if we get to that point in the game. So we wouldn`t get to the boundaries countback," he added.

Teams at the women`s World Cup in New Zealand will be allowed to field a side with only nine players if their squad is hit by COVID-19, the governing International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Thursday.

Teams at the women`s World Cup in New Zealand will be allowed to field a side with only nine players if their squad is hit by COVID-19, the governing International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Thursday. New Zealand reported more than 6,000 new cases of COVID-19, with 250 hospitalisations, and the government expects the outbreak to peak in mid-March. ICC head of events Chris Tetley said teams would be allowed to field nine players plus two female members of their support staff in case of a COVID-19 outbreak in their camps. "From a COVID-19 perspective, we need to be a little bit flexible, as far as the way in which we manage the game to take into account these unique circumstances," he said. "And if they have female substitutes from within their management team, we would allow two substitutes to play - non-batting, non-bowling - to enable a game to take place." Teams have been granted three travelling reserves along with their 15-member squads.

UEFA likely to move Champions League final from St. Petersburg due to Russia-Ukraine crisis - Reports

A former Indian model-turned-investor, Gurpreet Gill Maag, has filed a legal challenge in the High Court in London seeking damages amounting to millions of dollars from Indian Premier League (IPL) founder Lalit Modi over alleged deceit and breach of contract. Judge Murray Rosen QC is presiding over the trial, which opened in the Chancery Division this week, to determine whether Modi made false representations to secure investment for a worldwide cancer treatment project dating back to April 2018.

Modi has denied the allegations through written evidence and is also expected to make oral submissions during the course of the trial to counter the claims. According to court documents, Maag-owned special purpose vehicle (SPV) Quantum Care Ltd was pitched an attractive investment offer at a meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel in Dubai for Modi's specialist cancer treatment company Ion Care.

The court was told: In summary, the Maags' (Gurpreet and husband Daniel Maag) evidence is that Mr Modi informed them during the meeting that a number of well-known and influential individuals had agreed to act as patrons' of Ion Care, had agreed to participate in its management (as 'leaders') and had also made substantial financial commitments to the business, amounting to some USD 260 million. "Further, the Maags say Mr Modi told them that a number of influential individuals and celebrities had agreed to act as brand ambassadors' for Ion Care."

Being socially acquainted with London-based Modi, Maag domiciled in Singapore was invited to invest in a first friends and family round&nbsp;of fundraising for USD 2 million. Her company Quantum Care went on to invest USD 1 million on November 14, 2018, and the remaining USD 1 million was not invested as Ion Care's business never got off the ground. However, Maag says this meant losses for her as she was unable to invest that sum in other businesses.

"Quantum alleges in these proceedings that the representations made by Modi during the April 2018 meeting were false and that he knew they were false or was reckless as to whether they were false,? her lawyers claim. According to court submissions on behalf of Modi, the business of Ion Care - offering cancer treatment based upon a specific technology - was conceived by him following treatment provided to his wife, Minal, who suffered from cancer prior to her death in December 2018.

While the business did not succeed, he highlights that there is no complaint that the business model or technology upon which it was based were misrepresented. With reference to the allegation that his investor pitch involved false representations, Modi contests that it was indicative and aspirational ? a sketch of an idea and certainly not intended to be an authoritative catalogue of individuals who had signed up to represent Ion Care.

As to the representations which were said to have been made orally, he denies making them in the categorical terms alleged. His case is that he was talking to many potential investors, many of whom had shown an interest, and that he was merely giving an indication of that level of interest and its provenance. 
The scope of the trial, estimated to last into next week, is to determine the question of causation, with the quantification of any damages to be addressed at a separate and subsequent stage.

Gill's Quantum Care is seeking repayment of the balance of its investment made into Ion Care in November 2018, amounting to USD 800,000 plus interest. In addition to its claim for $800,000, Quantum seeks to recover "substantial sums" in respect of its consequential losses, or the return the company would have received on the investments it would have made with the funds available to it but for the alleged misrepresentations.

Modi had relocated to London from India in 2010, amid scandals and controversies linked to the cricket IPL.
