Starting from Kolkata trophy will be taken to five more cities – Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon.
Present at the inauguration were cricketer Manoj Tiwary, former cricketer Devang Gandhi, former Indian women’s team skipper Jhulan Goswami and chess grandmaster Dibyendu Barua and other dignitaries.
Manoj Tiwary after making it to the 30 probables list for the World Cup was happy that the campaign began from Kolkata.
A beaming Jhulan believed that India would definitely make the semi-finals of the quadrennial tournament.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
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.
