On the occasion of Friendship Day, Indian veteran Shikhar Dhawan opened up on bonding with his batting partner Rohit Sharma and named a song that the 'Hitman' liked to sing while they batted together. Though the International Day of Friendship is observed on July 30 worldwide, India observes Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August every year. Speaking to Star Sports, Dhawan said about Rohit, "I have opened with him for 8-10 years, so I have a strong bond with him. He is a gem of a person. Usse bada achha lagta tha jab mai ek gaana gaata tha pitch pe (he used to like it a lot whenever I sang one particular song), 'putt jattan de bulaonde bakre'. So he would look at me and then sing the same song. It is one moment that repeated often. He remembered a couple of lines from the song, which he used to sing and then laugh."
World champion Noah Lyles roared to victory in 9.79sec to claim gold in a dramatic men's Olympic 100m final in Paris on Sunday.

In a photo-finish, Jamaica's Kishane Thompson claimed silver, just five-thousandths of a second off Lyles' pace. Lyles' US teammate Fred Kerley took bronze in 9.81sec, just one-hundredth ahead of South African Akani Simbine, who timed 9.82sec. Defending champion Marcell Jacobs of Italy was fifth in 9.85sec, Botswana's Letsile Tebogo sixth in 9.86sec, American Kenny Bednarek seventh in 9.88sec and Jamaican Oblique Seville eighth in 9.91sec in an astonishing race.

Star wickekeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, who was stripped off the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI's) central contracts for 2023-24 for missing domestic cricket, is all set to make a comeback for Jharkhand, stated a report. It added that the southpaw has been included in the 25 pre-season probables announced by Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) and that he took the decision after consluting "some well-wishers and national selectors". Kishan was a part of the Indian squad for the South Africa Test series squad last year but pulled out due to 'personal reasons'. He last played for India in November 2023.
