He asks the fan, "Are you sure?" before again&nbsp;checking with her by asking "is this a good idea?' He then goes ahead and fulfills this vague plea.

India's ongoing tour of Bangladesh saw Ishan Kishan create history. Kishan featured in India's playing XI in the third and final ODI, with regular captain Rohit Sharma being injured, and opened the innings with Shikhar Dhawan. He looked in his elements from the word go and smashed a magnificent 131-ball 210, laced with 24 fours and 10 sixes, to become the fourth Indian to enter the 200-run club in ODIs.

Kishan became the youngster and fastest to score an ODI double ton. Overall, he became only the seventh to join the elite club -- comprising legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit, etc. Despite his recent heroics, the 24-year-old remains grounded and is destined for more success. Recently, a fan requested Ishan to give an autograph on his cellphone -- above MS Dhoni's. To this, the youngster won hearts with his gesture.

Kishan said in a video shared on Twitter, “Mahi bhai ka hai signature aur uske upar bol rahe hain mera karne…mereko thoda ho nahi raha hai&nbsp;(This is Mahi bhai’s signature and you are telling me to sign above it. I can’t do this). "Mahi bhai ka signature hai upar, abhi humlog utna pahunche nahi hai wahan par…neeche karta hun “I have not reached the level of MS Dhoni, I will sign in the bottom)," added the Indian keeper-batter. Here's the viral clip:

Dhoni retired from international cricket in mid-2020. However, he remains a big name in world cricket. During his illustrious career from 2004-2019, the former Indian captain earned accolades for his glovework, tactical acumen as a leader, finishing, and unorthodox keeping skills along with his ability to stay calm under pressure.

Dhoni ended with 17,266 international runs, 108 half-centuries, 16 tons -- including a double century in Tests -- 359 sixes, 634 catches, 195 stumpings and led India to all three major ICC titles. He remains active in the IPL and will lead Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 2023 edition.

Charles Darwin is one of the most well-known scientists in the history of the field of evolution and his book - On the Origin of Species – is considered to be a pioneering text.

Over the years, the book has gained popularity around the world and according to a poll in 2015, it was voted the “most influential academic book ever written”.

A rare manuscript of the well-known book is going up for auction in November this year and according to The Guardian, it will attract a price of somewhere between $601,000 and $793,000.

The manuscript was mistaken as a leaf, and it was finally recovered by the well-known auction house Sotheby’s. The manuscript, which is part of the third edition of the book, also features a signature from the author himself and as a result, it is quite rare considering his habit of constant revisions.

Hermann Kindt, the editor of the Autographic Mirror, confirmed back in the 1900s that the signature was completely authentic, and the certificate was accessed by Sotheby’s, the auction house said.

“Charles Darwin’s revolutionary text On the Origin of Species succeeded in creating a Book of Genesis for the modern age and it would be difficult to overstate the seismic impact it had not only on 19th-century science and culture but also on subsequent thinkers and generations,” said Richard Austin, of Sotheby’s.

“We are proud to offer the most significant autograph manuscript by Darwin to come to auction, continuing Sotheby’s longstanding track record of offering the most important documents and artefacts in the history of thought.”

No alcohol, no hugs, no cheers and no autographs: Tokyo Olympic organisers unveiled tough new rules for spectators at the pandemic Games on Wednesday, as they marked one month until the opening ceremony.

Tokyo 2020 president Seiko Hashimoto warned festivities "will have to be suppressed" to keep the Games safe, and conceded that organisers will need to be "creative" to stoke a party atmosphere.

Games chiefs decided on Monday to allow up to 10,000 spectators into competition venues, but Hashimoto warned them not to expect the kind of festival mood currently being enjoyed by football fans at Euro 2020.

"In Europe, the venues are filled with celebration," she said.

"Unfortunately, we may not be able to do the same."

Spectators will need to clear several antivirus requirements, including temperature checks and mask-wearing, just to get into venues -- with no refunds available for those who can't.

Once inside, they are forbidden from cheering or "making direct contact with other spectators" and will be asked to go straight home after events end.

Asking athletes for autographs or "expressing verbal support" is also a no-no, as is waving a towel or "any form of cheering that could create a crowd".

"The festive mood will have to be suppressed -- that has become a major challenge," Hashimoto told reporters.

"People can feel joy in their hearts, but they can't be loud and they have to avoid crowds," she added.

"Those are the areas where we need to be creative, and we are putting in a lot of effort to come up with a new way of celebrating."

Spectators will also have to do without alcohol, even though it is allowed at other sporting events currently being held in Japan.

Hashimoto said the ban was decided "to alleviate the concerns of the public as much as possible."

'True values'

With the July 23 opening ceremony nearing, organisers are scrambling to finalise preparations and win over a sceptical public, pledging the Games will be safe for locals and participants.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, former athlete Hashimoto said a stripped-back Games was a chance to refocus attention on the "true values" of the Olympics.

"In recent years when I was participating as an athlete, there were concerns that this (event) has become so huge," she said.

"This time, I feel that the true values of the Olympic and Paralympic Games are finally being discussed."

Hashimoto rejected the suggestion that the complications of Tokyo 2020 might put off future hosts, as Olympic officials face a dwindling number of cities eager for the expensive undertaking.

"I see this as one opportunity to present the essence of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and to change the format of the Games, so that other cities will be willing to hold the Games in the future," she said.

It may not be a line that convinces everyone, with athletes facing tough restrictions including daily testing and a ban on travel except between venues and the Olympic Village.

Domestic opposition to the Games has softened in recent weeks, but around half of Japan's public still don't want the event to open in four weeks' time, polls show.

On Saturday, a Ugandan Olympic coach tested positive on arrival in Japan, despite the team reportedly being vaccinated and testing negative before travel.

The rest of the delegation has now been put in quarantine until July 3.

The frantic pace of preparations may have taken its toll on Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, who has been admitted to the hospital suffering from exhaustion.

Addressing fears of a fun-free Games, Hashimoto said hoped the Olympics would showcase Japan's "culture of hospitality and caring about each other."

"I hope such spirit of caring about each other, will become the legacy of the Games."

No booze, no autographs: Tokyo 2020 unveils fan rules with a month to go

NBA legend Kobe Bryant's autograph on a hardwood section of the court is in for an online auction. Bryant played his last game in the court. According to predictions, the piece could fetch at least $500,000 next week.

NBA legend Kobe Bryant's autograph on a hardwood section of the court is in for an online auction. Bryant played his last game in the court. According to predictions, the piece could fetch at least $500,000 next week. The piece of hardwood measuring 4 feet by 8 feet is adorned with Bryant's iconic jersey number '8' during a sensational 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. It graced one end of the National Basketball Association court for the game on April 13, 2016, balancing a section with his other jersey number "24" at the other end. "This is really among the most unique and inspiring pieces we've ever had," said Dan Imler, vice president of direct sales and consignments for Heritage Auctions. "Most fans will remember that as one of, if not the, greatest farewell performance in the history of sports." "After the final piece of confetti had fallen, one of Kobe's absolute last acts before he walked off the professional court was to add a large signature to the center of the number 8," said Imler. "It's one of the biggest Kobe autographs we've ever seen. It's about a foot and a half long." In January, Bryant, along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others, died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. "Certainly the market has escalated and, you know, as you can imagine, you know, all things Kobe were really kind of crystallized after his, his tragic passing and kind of took on a new depth and a new meaning, a new level of appreciation," Imler said. Buyers are asked to place their bids before October 3 to be eligible to raise the stakes on that day. 10 per cent of the selling amount (during the auction) will be donated to Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, a non-profit that helps underserved communities through youth sports. The name refers to nicknames for Kobe and Gianna Bryant. (Inputs from Reuters)
