In a riveting encounter at the iconic Eden Gardens, Sunil Narine’s scintillating maiden T20 century was overshadowed by Jos Buttler’s blistering unbeaten 107, as Rajasthan Royals pulled off a record-equaling highest successful chase in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were sent in to bat first, and Narine unleashed a batting masterclass, smashing 109 off just 56 deliveries. His whirlwind knock, laced with 13 boundaries and six maximums, propelled KKR to an imposing total of 223/6.
In a remarkable display of consistency and dominance, Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis etched his name into the NBA record books with a historic feat. During the 2023-24 regular season, Sabonis amassed an astonishing 77 double-doubles, becoming just the seventh player in league history to reach this lofty milestone.
Sabonis’ remarkable achievement is a testament to his relentless work ethic and well-rounded skill set. The 26-year-old Lithuanian big man has been a force to be reckoned with on the court, showcasing an uncanny ability to score, rebound, and facilitate at an elite level.
In a modest living room, a young Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his best friend would reenact their wildest footballing fantasies, impersonating fans and commentators alike. Little did they know that those childhood dreams would one day translate into a record-breaking reality in European football’s second-tier club competition.
Aubameyang’s journey to become the UEFA Europa League’s all-time top scorer with 33 goals (and counting) is a tale of perseverance, flair, and an insatiable appetite for finding the back of the net.
In a remarkable achievement, 17-year-old Barcelona starlet Pau Cubarsi etched his name into Spanish footballing folklore by becoming the youngest defender to make his debut for the national team.

Cubarsi’s dream came true on Friday night when he replaced Aymeric Laporte in the 80th minute of Spain’s friendly clash against Colombia at the iconic London Stadium.
