Football legend Vijayan unhappy over two tickets for ISL final
Kerala-Football-Association
Kochi: With passions overflowing in Kerala over the ISL final here between local team Kerala Blasters and Atletico de Kolkata on Sunday night, the organisers seem to have caused much soreness by giving two ordinary tickets to one of the country’s legendary footballers and local boy I.M. Vijayan.
“I rue if this is the treatment meted out to me by the organisers. I shudder to think what will the ordinary fans get,” said Vijayan to the media on Sunday morning.
“Am told that lots of tickets are being sold in the black market. I was given just two ordinary tickets for my son and me to watch the final,” said Vijayan. An Arjuna award winner, Vijayan was crowned Indian Player of the Year in 1993, 1997 and 1999. He was first player to win the honour multiple times.
The hosts of the event are the Kerala Football Association and since the past few days there have been widespread reports of tickets being sold in the black market for as much as Rs 3,000. The police on Saturday arrested two persons who were found selling the tickets online at exorbitant rates.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
