Cristiano Ronaldo breaks his silence on not being nominated for Ballon d'Or: ‘That's fictitious to me'
Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo labelled the prestigious Ballon d'Or as 'fictitious' after he was not nominated for the accolade in the 2025 season. The 30 nominees were announced last week, and the Al-Nassr star is nowhere to be found on the list. The 40-year-old has lifted the iconic Golden Ball on five occasions over the course of his decorated career. He had last won the award in 2017 when he was playing for Real Madrid. It has been eight years since Ronaldo won the prestigious accolade. Cristiano Ronaldo breaks silence on not being nominated for Ballon d'Or. (AFP) Lionel Messi and Ronaldo were on level terms when the latter won the Ballon d'Or in 2017. However, the Argentine superstar has now gone ahead and won the award three more times. Messi, who won the FIFA World Cup with Argentina in 2022, now dominates the long-running GOAT debate between the two. For the class of 2025, three of Ronaldo's international colleagues are in the running to win the Ballon d'Or. Vitinha, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes of Paris Saint-Germain are among the contenders for one of the biggest awards in sports. Recently, Ronaldo was asked about the Ballon d'Or and not getting nominated for this year's accolade. Speaking to reports from SportTV, Ronaldo said, "That's fictitious to me." This was all Ronaldo had to say as he avoided further discussion on the subject. He had recently committed to a new contract in Saudi Arabia, and it will keep him at the Saudi Pro League for two more years. Ronaldo to stay with Al-Nassr Earlier, Ronaldo confirmed on social media that he would be staying with Al-Nassr despite speculations that he would move somewhere else. The Portugal star posted a picture on social media with the caption, "A new chapter begins." "Same passion, same dream. Let's make history together," he added. It must be mentioned that Ronaldo joined Al Nassr in 2022 after parting ways with Manchester United. He arrived in Saudi Arabia on a 2.5-year contract soon after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Ronaldo recently also led Portugal to a second UEFA Nations League title when the side defeated Spain in the summit clash. The maverick striker is eyeing the 1,000-goal milestone in his career. He is nearing the 950-goal mark.

Babar Azam's three-ball duck exposes his hype, called ‘overrated' as PAK lose to WI: 'No Nepal, no party for statpadder'
Premier Pakistan batter Babar Azam faced the wrath of fans on social media after registering a duck in the second ODI against the West Indies. Babad missed out on a half-century in the series opener, while Jayden Seales cut his innings quite short on Sunday and outfoxed him for a three-ball duck. The 30-year-old's form has come under scrutiny, with his most recent ODI century dating back to August 2023, when he struck 151 against Nepal. That innings also marked the last occasion on which he reached triple figures in any format of international cricket. Babar Azam dismissed for a duck in the second ODI against West Indies.(AFP) Pakistan fell to a five-wicket loss at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad, allowing West Indies to draw level in the series with a victory by the same margin. Bating first, Pakistan posted 171/7 in 37 overs in the rain-affected match, with Babar bagging a duck, while skipper Mohammad Rizwan also struggled to get going during his 38-ball stay in the middle. Rizwan scored only 16 as none of the visiting batters managed to cross the 40-run mark. Babar failed to live up to the expectations and was dismissed inside the powerplay as Seales ripped through his defence to hit the timber. The fans on social media were left disappointed with another underwhelming Babar outing as he faced the wrath. West Indies outclass Pakistan to level series Chasing a revised target of 181 in 35 overs under the DLS method, the West Indies were given a manageable equation after Pakistan's stop-start innings was restricted to 171 for 7 from 37 overs due to multiple rain interruptions. From a steady 101 for 3 after 18 overs, the Windies slipped to 111 for 5 in the 24th over. The slide included the dismissal of the in-form Sherfane Rutherford, who had kept the scoreboard moving with a breezy 33-ball 45 studded with three sixes and four boundaries. Meanwhile, just when Pakistan sensed an opening, Roston Chase and Justin Greaves came together to steady the innings. The pair showed composure and smart shot selection, rotating the strike and punishing loose deliveries. Their unbroken 77-run stand for the sixth wicket not only arrested the collapse but also guided the hosts home with wickets and overs to spare, sealing a composed and well-paced run chase.

Rohit Sharma's childhood coach admitted mistake for not identifying IND great's talent early: ‘Didn't know it was him…'
Rohit Sharma has made a name for himself as one of the most prolific batters in Indian cricket history, but when he started playing cricket at a young age, his plans were completely different. The swashbuckling opener, who holds the record of the highest-ever individual score in ODI cricket history - 264, also has an IPL hat-trick in his kitty to brag about. Rohit achieved the feat with the ball when he used to play at Deccan Chargers, but he still remains the only player in the league history to score a century and claim a hat-trick in the tournament. Early in his international journey, Rohit Sharma occasionally filled in as a part-time spinner, especially after grabbing headlines in the IPL with a hat-trick(AFP) His childhood coach, Dinesh Lad, also asserted that when he scouted the veteran batter, he was 12 years old, and he used to train him for his bowling. 'I first saw him as a bowler, he was about 12 years old. I saw him playing a match against us. Then I told his uncle (Chacha) to get him admitted to my school. The school started in 1995, and I saw Rohit in 1999. He took admission that year. In the first year, he was in under 14. During practice, I kept making him bowl. Next year, Rohit went to 8th standard and was 14 years old," Rohit's coach Lad said on a podcast with Gaurav Mangalani. Early in his international journey, he occasionally filled in as a part-time spinner, especially after grabbing headlines in the IPL with a hat-trick. Over time, he collected nine wickets in One-Day Internationals, two in Test matches, and one in T20 Internationals. However, as his reputation as a fearless, free‑scoring opener grew, his bowling responsibilities gradually diminished. Lad shed light on how he discovered Rohit's batting talent, admitting his mistake of not identifying it earlier. 'I felt he should be kept in both the under-16 and under-14 teams. One day, while entering the school, I saw a boy knocking (batting). From outside, I saw the bat was coming very straight and good. I didn't know it was Rohit at first. When I went inside, I asked him if he was batting. He said yes, sir. Then I gave him some batting in the nets at number six or seven. Before that, I had never given him batting practice. That was my mistake,' he continued. 'I felt Rohit Sharma had a very good talent for batting' Lad further revealed that Rohit's 40-run knock at number 7 promoted him to the batting line-up. He advised Rohit to concentrate on his batting, a shift that ultimately changed the course of his career. 'He batted well. In a match, he went in at number seven and scored 40 runs. Very good 40, but unfortunately, we lost the match. When the under-14 practice started after the Harris Shield, the Giles Shield practice was on, I started giving him batting at second and third position in nets. The way he was batting, I felt he had a very good talent for batting. So it was important for him to focus on it. I told him to focus more on batting but keep bowling too,' Lad said.
