Sydney: India were bowled out for 475 in their first innings with Australia reaching 38 for one in their second innings, taking a 135-run lead at tea on day four of the fourth and final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) here Friday.

The Indian tail put up some fight after losing captain Virat Kohli (147) before lunch. Ravichandran Ashwin (50) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (30) played a vital hand to take India closer to Australia’s first innings total.

Australia, though, suffered a setback early on in their second innings with the dangerous David Warner (4) being dismissed in the second over.

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.
