East Bengal desperate for I-League win against Wahingdoh
Shillong: After their 0-1 defeat at the hands of arch-rivals Mohun Bagan in Kolkata on Saturday, a desperate East Bengal will look to getting back to winning ways against Royal Wahingdoh FC in the I-League football competition here on Tuesday.
The Kolkata side is currently placed sixth in the league table with 13 points from nine matches, whereas home side Wahingdoh are third with 17 points from 10 matches.
East Bengal have happy memories at Shillong where they won both their matches last season. A win against Wahingdoh will boost the Red and Golds’ aim of moving up the league ladder.
Both the teams have never met in I-League before but East Bengal got the better of Wahingdoh in the Federation Cup on December 31, 2014 when Dudu Omagbemi’s only goal gave them a 1-0 win.
East Bengal have scored 14 goals in the league till date with striker Ranti Martins scoring 12 of them.
While Wahingdoh have netted 12 goals with Seityasen Singh and Jackichand Singh scoring 3 goals each.
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.
