Star Afghanistan and Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad leg-spinner Rashid&nbsp;Khan has pledged his loyalty with the Adelaide Strikers for the 10th edition of the Big Bash League, the club confirmed on Thursday. Though&nbsp;other teams showed interest in Rashid, but he has decided to stay at Adelaide for at least one more season. An excited Rashid&nbsp;Khan said that the Strikers have been like a family to him and he is so thankful to the fans who have been supporting him and made him feel like Adelaide is his home. The 22-year-old made his debut for the Strikers in 2017 and is currently their 3rd-highest wicket-taker&nbsp;with&nbsp;56 scalps from just 40 BBL matches.

Kolkata Knight Riders' head coach&nbsp;Brendon&nbsp;McCullum&nbsp;has come down heavily on KKR&nbsp;batsmen after they were humiliated by the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Wednesday night. KKR&nbsp;is fighting for a place in the playoffs but have lost 3 of their last 5 games. After a miserable batting performance, McCullum&nbsp;said that&nbsp;before the game they talked about wanting to show some strong intent with their batting, especially at the top of the order, but unfortunately if anything his team probably lacked ws intent. That;s something they are going to address and&nbsp;make sure they try and get themselves back to winning ways.

Champions League holders Bayern&nbsp;Munich kicked-off their title defence in style as they thrashed&nbsp;Atletico Madrid 4-0 on Wednesday.&nbsp;Winger Kingsley Coman&nbsp;stood out with a brace and scored a&nbsp;goal in either&nbsp;half.&nbsp;Goretzka and&nbsp;Tolisso&nbsp;also found the net, making it a comfortable outing for the German giants.

City next take on&nbsp;Marseille in their second game in Group C on October 27.&nbsp;

AAfter a shock home defeat against newly-promoted Cadiz&nbsp;in La Liga, Real Madrid had a forgettable start to their Champions League campaign as the&nbsp;13-time Champions were humiliated in their own backyard by a&nbsp;second-string Shakhtar Donetsk, who beat them 3-2. The Ukrainian&nbsp;club was rocked by Covid-19 and had to call up youth-team players and were without the services of 13 first-team players. But that didn't affect&nbsp;Shakhtar&nbsp;as they stunned the hosts with a 3-0 lead within&nbsp;the first-half. But a goal each by&nbsp;Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior saw&nbsp;Real pull 2 back just after half-time but their fightback was short-lived as he scoreline didn't change thereafter. The loss meant that Real have now lost 3 consecutive Champions League games for the first time in 24 years.&nbsp;

Premier League champions Liverpool didn't have the best of outings on Wednesday but they still managed to beat Ajax 1-0 to kick-start their Champions League campaign with a win.

Courtesy the win, Jurgen Klopp's&nbsp;men&nbsp;took their unbeaten away run against&nbsp;Dutch opponents to 7 games, keeping a clean sheet in 5 of those encounters.&nbsp;

After thrashing Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders by 82 runs in their previous encounter,&nbsp;Royal Challengers Bangalore completed a double once again with a thrashing. Probably the only positive for Eoin Morgan was that he won the toss because it all went downhill from there. The first four wickets fell with 14 on the board with Mohd Siraj picking up the first double-wicket maiden in IPL 2020. Siraj also became the first bowler in IPL history to bowl 2 maiden overs in a game. In fact, RCB became the first team to bowl 3 maiden overs in one match. KKR skipper Eoin Morgan waged a lone battle as he found some support in Kuldeep Yadav and Lockie Ferguson. The Knight Riders were stopped at 84-8 in 20 overs which is the lowest total in a 20-over IPL innings without getting bowled out. In reply, Virat Kohli's men reached the target with 8 wickets and more than 6 overs to spare. This is the fourth win for RCB in the last 5 games as they jump to second on the points table.

Barcelona kicked off their Champions League campaign with a&nbsp;rout against&nbsp;Ferencvaros&nbsp;and thrashed them 5-1 on&nbsp;Tuesday night.&nbsp;Lionel Messi&nbsp;successfully completed from the spot to give his side the lead in the 27th minute. He has now scored in a joint record 16 Champions League seasons.&nbsp;Ansu Fati,&nbsp;Philippe Coutinho,&nbsp;Gerard Pique&nbsp;and Ousmane Dembele&nbsp;then scored a goal each to ensure an easy win. The victory helped the Catalan Giants take their&nbsp;unbeaten run at the Nou Camp in the Champions League to 37 games.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Manchester United had an excellent start to their Champions League campaign as they beat last season's runners-up&nbsp;Paris St-Germain&nbsp;2-1 on Tuesday night. Bruno Fernandes&nbsp;put United ahead in the 23rd minute as he successfully completed from the spot. But&nbsp;Anthony Martial headed an own goal, helping PSG&nbsp;level in the second-half. It seemed that the two sides would share points but Marcus Rashford&nbsp;had other plans. Assisted by Paul Pogba, Rashford&nbsp;netted a winner&nbsp;in the dying minutes and helped the Red Devils take maximum points in their opening game.&nbsp;Paris St-Germain&nbsp;on the other hand suffered a home defeat in a Champions League group game for the first time in 25 games.&nbsp;
