IPL 2026 winner, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), has become the first-ever cricket franchise to cross $300 million to reach $312 million in brand value, with the league’s business value rising by 11.4 per cent from US$18.5 billion to US$20.6 billion in the past 12 months.&nbsp;A report by US-based global investment bank Houlihan Lokey, Inc.

In a massive upgrade for the teen batting prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who is just a month into his international career, he is named as the vice-captain of the East Zone in the Duleep Trophy – a squad led by his India teammate Ishan Kishan.

FIFA has received massive backlash over its latest proposal to sell off part of its World Cup business to private investors, with UEFA, AFC and the English FA coming down hard on football’s governing body. On Tuesday, FIFA said it would retain a majority share in FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE) but hoped to raise $4.2 billion later this year by 'carefully selecting long-term investors who will purchase minority, non-controlling interests'. Several reports suggest that the FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, also sent a letter to all associations, saying that they will pocket $40 million for backing this plan, but must sign up by September 19.&nbsp;"In total for the upcoming cycle starting as of January 1, 2027, each member association will have the possibility of access up to $40 million per member association under this proposal," said Infantino. &nbsp;The Times, which broke the story first on Tuesday, said the sources opposed the plan and labelled it ‘pure bribery’. While UEFA issued a blunt statement regarding this proposed plan and was due to hold an emergency meeting later on Wednesday, the English FA and Asian football body condemned this idea, fearing the worst for the most-loved global sport.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/bayern-munich-ceo-dreesen-dismisses-olise-diaz-transfer-rumors-kane-update-1785251283549">Look Away Real Madrid Fans: Bayern CEO dismisses Olise transfer, brands Diaz sale ‘Foolish’</a> &nbsp;"Many in European football see FIFA's plans as an outright attack on football.

The hosts, India, continue to make headlines at the ongoing Commonwealth TT Championship 2026 at the Thyagaraj Stadium in New Delhi. The third day of the competition again belonged to India, whose men’s and women’s teams swept past their opponents.

Earlier, on the opening day, the Indian men’s team beat Zimbabwe 3-0 to stamp their authority among all challengers in this competition. How did the Indian men’s team perform on Day 3 of the Commonwealth TT Championship 2026? The Indian men’s team began proceedings on the third day of this home tournament, with Harmeet Desai facing August Xiao in the first singles contest between the two countries.

An amateur cricketer, Brian Devine, has gone viral on social media after allegedly using finger clicks to imitate the sound of the ball edging the bat, reportedly tricking umpires into giving batters out. The North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League has launched an investigation into a Division Two match between Saltburn Cricket Club and Norton after a Saltburn fielder was caught on camera appearing to click his fingers as the ball passed the bat.&nbsp;The player, who fields at slip or silly point, is alleged to have timed the finger clicks perfectly to create the impression of an edge whenever a batter played at the ball and the wicketkeeper completed the catch.&nbsp;Saltburn CC defeated Norton CC by 159 runs in their second XI match last week. Since then, several videos have surfaced online showing similar caught-behind and close-catching incidents involving Devine, who appears to click his fingers whenever the ball passes close to the bat.&nbsp;Several users giving the fielder the nickname “Clicky Ponting”, a play on the name of former Australia captain Ricky Ponting.&nbsp;&nbsp;Posting on X, Ben Mummery wrote: “@Saltburncc First slip clicks his fingers to imitate an edge, bat nowhere near it and given out.

Commonwealth Games 2026 Day 7: India's full schedule, medal events and match timings

Weightlifter Harjinder Kaur and long-distance runner Gulveer Singh led India’s charge on Tuesday (Jul 28), overcoming tough conditions to win memorable silver medals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. India also strengthened its boxing campaign as three boxers reached the semifinals, guaranteeing at least three more medals for the country.&nbsp;Standing at just 5ft 3, Harjinder delivered the best performance of her career to claim silver in the women’s 69kg event. She also broke Commonwealth Games records in both the snatch and clean and jerk, helping India secure its seventh weightlifting medal of the Games.&nbsp;Harjinder impressed with a calm and confident display and set new Games records by lifting 101kg in the snatch after an earlier lift of 99kg and followed it up with record lifts of 123kg and 126kg in the clean and jerk. Her combined total of 227kg earned her the silver medal.&nbsp;However, Canada’s Charlotte Simoneau proved too strong, as she rewrote the Games record books with a 108kg snatch, a 132kg clean and jerk and a total lift of 240kg to take the gold medal by a margin of 13kg.&nbsp;Soon after, Asian Games bronze medallist Gulveer Singh made history by becoming the first Indian to win a Commonwealth Games medal in the men’s 10,000m race.&nbsp;Competing in heavy rain on a waterlogged track, Gulveer stayed close to the leading pack throughout the race before producing a strong finish in the closing stages. He clocked 27:49.78 to take silver, finishing just 0.85 seconds behind Australia’s Ky Robinson, who won gold in 27:48.93.&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/justin-greaves-5-wickets-0-runs-world-record-west-indies-pakistan-1785260279819">5 Overs, 5 Wickets and ZERO Runs: Justin Greaves bowls world record spell against Pakistan| WATCH</a>&nbsp;Meanwhile, national record holder Vishal TK kept India’s hopes alive in the men’s 400m by qualifying for the semifinals.&nbsp;Vishal, who became the first Indian to run below 45 seconds with his national record of 44.98s in May, finished second in Heat 6 of the opening round with a time of 46.49s.

Priya produced a strong comeback to beat home favourite Niamh Mitchell 4-1 in the women’s 60kg quarterfinal.&nbsp;Jadumani also impressed in the men’s 55kg quarterfinal, defeating Zambia’s Mwengo Mwale by unanimous decision to move into the last four.&nbsp;However, Parveen Hooda’s campaign ended after a close 2-3 split-decision defeat to England’s Sacha Hickey in the quarterfinals. Kapil Pokhariya also exited the competition after losing in the men’s 90kg quarterfinal.

India's medal tally rose to 12 after Gulveer Singh clinched a historic silver in the men's 10,000m and Harjinder Kaur added another silver in weightlifting. The late surge helped the country maintain its place among the top 10 in the medal standings.

CWG 2026 Day 6: Harjinder, Gulveer shine as India clinch two historic silver medals

West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves did something no cricketer, let alone a bowler, could pull off in its 149-year history. Against Pakistan in the ongoing first Test, the right-arm medium-pacer bowled five overs and picked up as many wickets without conceding a single run. UNBELIEVABLE! Playing only his 17th Test, Greaves picked up his maiden five-for to dismiss Pakistan for 282 in their first innings in response to West Indies’ 311. The Barbadian bowled a world record spell of five-wicket maidens. Although he continues to tear apart Pakistan in the final innings, having already picked two wickets and reducing them to 50 for five, Greaves was happy to contribute to his team.<h2>WATCH Greaves’ world record spell -</h2>

"When I came on, captain Roston Chase just said, 'continue to be disciplined in what you are doing' and to see if I can get some wickets for the team," Greaves said after his record and one-of-a-kind spell.&nbsp;"The ball nipped around, and I got some reward.

Greaves had set Shan by bowling on the off side before tailoring one in and uprooting his stumps. Greaves then clean bowled Aamer Jamal in his next over, searing through his defences. He then trapped Ali Usman right in front of the wickets before dismissing Mohammed Rizwan and Mohammad Abbas caught behind to complete his first five-wicket haul in Tests. &nbsp;After his spell triggered a batting collapse for Pakistan, West Indies failed to make the most of that lead in their second innings as they were folded for 181, setting a 213-run target. &nbsp;During the run chase, the hosts wrapped up half of Pakistan’s batting unit on 53, with Greaves picking two, including those of Rizwan and Jamal.

In a blow to Manchester City ahead of their curtain-raiser against AFC Bournemouth, their World Cup-winning midfielder Rodri has been sidelined for a short period after undergoing surgery on his back, the Premier League club announced on Tuesday (Jul 28). On the other hand, in a boost to the team’s future, centre-back Josko Gvardiol signed a new five-year contract, joining the likes of Phil Foden and Abdukodir Khusanov in signing contract extensions.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner, who won the Player of the Tournament award in Spain’s title-winning run in North America, has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/zinedine-zidane-appointed-france-head-coach-replacing-didier-deschamps-1785242868552">‘The only job I wanted’: Zinedine Zidane takes over as France head coach</a> &nbsp;"Manchester City can confirm Rodri has undergone successful minor back surgery," the Premier League club said in a statement. "The midfielder had been feeling discomfort for some time but has now undergone a procedure to address the issue and will now begin a short period of rehabilitation." &nbsp;Rodri, who has one year left on his contract, has endured a series of fitness problems since suffering a serious knee injury almost two years ago. Speaking at a press conference last week, new Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca said he was "not worried" about Rodri’s situation. &nbsp;"He needs to recover, and then he will be back here with us," the Italian said before Rodri's operation.<h2>Gvardiol Pens New Five-Year Deal</h2>The club, however, received a massive boost with Gvardiol’s decision to extend his contract at Man City, the Premier League club said. The Croatia international, whose previous deal had two years left to run, is now committed until 2031, with the option of an additional 12 months. &nbsp;Gvardiol, the central defender who has made 122 appearances since arriving from RB Leipzig for £77 million ($102 million) in 2023, had also been linked (alongside Rodri) with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. &nbsp;"As soon as I knew City wanted to renew my contract, I felt straight away it was what I wanted," said the 24-year-old. "The City fans have been unbelievable with me from day one, and the club provide absolutely everything for players. It's the best club in the world to be at." &nbsp;Out of action for four months with a broken leg, Gvardiol returned to action in May this year and also featured in Croatia’s World Cup campaign. &nbsp;On his signing, City's director of football Hugo Viana said, "Josko is a player this club really believes in. He is young, an outstanding professional, and already one of the best defenders in the world."

"The midfielder had been feeling discomfort for some time but has now undergone a procedure to address the issue and will now begin a short period of rehabilitation." Rodri, who has one year left on his contract, has endured a series of fitness problems since suffering a serious knee injury almost two years ago. Speaking at a press conference last week, new Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca said he was "not worried" about Rodri’s situation. "He needs to recover, and then he will be back here with us," the Italian said before Rodri's operation. Gvardiol Pens New Five-Year Deal The club, however, received a massive boost with Gvardiol’s decision to extend his contract at Man City, the Premier League club said. The Croatia international, whose previous deal had two years left to run, is now committed until 2031, with the option of an additional 12 months. Gvardiol, the central defender who has made 122 appearances since arriving from RB Leipzig for £77 million ($102 million) in 2023, had also been linked (alongside Rodri) with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. "As soon as I knew City wanted to renew my contract, I felt straight away it was what I wanted," said the 24-year-old. "The City fans have been unbelievable with me from day one, and the club provide absolutely everything for players. It's the best club in the world to be at." Out of action for four months with a broken leg, Gvardiol returned to action in May this year and also featured in Croatia’s World Cup campaign. On his signing, City's director of football Hugo Viana said, "Josko is a player this club really believes in. He is young, an outstanding professional, and already one of the best defenders in the world."

Zinedine Zidane has been appointed as France's new head coach, succeeding Didier Deschamps, the French Football Federation (FFF) announced on Tuesday (July 28). Widely touted to replace the outgoing Deschamps, who took over in 2012 and helped the national team win its second FIFA World Cup six years later in 2018, Zidane said, "this is the only job" he wanted. Zidane, 54, had long been viewed as the leading candidate for the role and had been waiting for an opportunity to take charge of the national team for several years.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Deschamps’ last assignment, the concluded World Cup in North America, saw France finish fourth after losing 6-4 to England in the third-place playoff. Earlier, France lost to the eventual winners, Spain, in the first semifinal. &nbsp;"For me, it's an immense joy... being able to become the coach of this French team. I don't have any other words," said Zidane, who signed a four-year contract. "I'm holding myself back because I have so many emotions inside me.

"I've had offers over these four or five years to take charge of a club, and I turned them all down for the French national team." &nbsp;The former playmaker, who played for several top clubs across Europe during his playing days, has coached only one club, Real Madrid, across two different stints. At Madrid, he achieved an unprecedented record in the competition’s modern era – winning Champions League titles in three&nbsp;consecutive years (2016, 2017 and 2018). &nbsp;"I think it's a completely different job, that's for sure," said Zidane. "I've experienced the club side of it. Now this is something new for me, but it doesn't scare me." &nbsp;1998 Ballon d’Or winner Zinedine Zidane follows in the footsteps of former international team-mates Laurent Blanc, who coached the national side from 2010 to 2012, and Deschamps. &nbsp;"I'm going to give everything so that this team keeps on winning.
