Hoffenheim: The Czech international defender Pavel Kaderabek has agreed on a transfer from Sparta Prague to German football side TSG Hoffenheim.

Pavel Kaderabek on Wednesday put pen to paper on a four-year deal to receive the jersey number 3 in Hoffenheim, reports Xinhua.

“I am delighted that another desired youngster opted for Hoffenheim. He is a physically strong and dynamic defender, who fulfils our requirements to lift our game to the desired level,” Hoffenheim’s director of professional football Alexander Rosen said.

The 23-year-old played for two years at Sparta Prague where he marked eight goals in 72 appearances. Kaderabek made his national debut for the Czech Republic in May 2014. Since then he made seven caps to score one goal.

“I’ m convinced that my qualities fit perfectly to Hoffenheim’s style of play. The aggressive pressing against the ball and the fast breaks suits me,” Kaderabek said.

Hoffenheim completed the last Bundesliga on the eighth place of the table.

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.
