Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton said on Wednesday he does not see it as "a dry spell" or "end of the world" if he fails to win a race this season. The Briton has struggled all year in his Mercedes and ahead of Sunday night's race in Singapore is well out of the running for another world title, with Red Bull's Max Verstappen on the cusp of retaining his crown. It is a far cry from last season, when the two went head to head for the title in the final race, and Hamilton and Mercedes are yet to take a chequered flag this term.

Sourav Ganguly relived one of his career-defining moments on top of the Lord's balcony -- but this time in India on a replica, and with his shirt on. Ganguly, 50, is regarded as one of India's all-time best skippers and the London ground was the scene of some of his greatest triumphs. Lord's was the site of the batsman's first Test match in 1996, when he became just the third cricketer to strike a century on debut at the venue.
Mark Waugh has picked Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah as one of his top five picks for the T20I showpiece Down Under. Bumrah recently returned to action after recovering from a back injury in the three-match T20 series against Australia that India won 2-1. The 28-year-old, who underwent rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore, looked fully fit but he's yet to get back to his old rhythm. "I think he's a fantastic bowler in all formats, actually. His ability to get wickets in T20 cricket is key. He can bowl at the death and he can bowl up front," Waugh told the ICC website.
Roger Federer had rubbed off on him after being part of the tennis legend's send-off last week. The 23-year-old Norwegian reached the final of the US Open earlier this month and then was surrounded by the cream of men's tennis at the Laver Cup in London for Federer's last hurrah. He enjoyed seeing up close the chemistry between Federer and his long-time rival and friend Rafael Nadal.
