Bindra, Chain Singh win double gold Medals in Hannover meet
Hannover: India’s ace rifle shooters, among them former Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra, warmed up in style for the upcoming World Cup when they returned a rich haul of three gold and two bronze medals in the just concluded International Shooting Competition of Hannover (ISCH).
Bindra won both the individual and team gold medals in his pet 10-metre air rifle event. Upcoming talent Chain Singh added the 50-metre rifle prone gold to his 10m air rifle team title in the event concluded at the National Shooting Centre on Sunday.
Bindra and London Olympics bronze medallist Gagan Narang were part of the team event. Narang also won the bronze medal in the men’s 50m rifle 3 positions event.
Rising woman rifle shooter Apurvi Chandela, who bagged an Olympic quota place in Korea, also won a bronze medal in the air rifle event.
All the medal winners will be in action next week in Fort Benning in the US for the ISSF Rifle/Pistol World Cup and aiming to bag as many 2016 Rio Olympic Games quota places as possible for their country.
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.
