Steyn plays barefooted football with Bangladeshi kids
Chittagong: South African pace bowler Dale Steyn had fun playing barefooted football with local kids here after rain washed out the fourth day’s play of the first Test between the Proteas and Bangladesh.
After spotting some kids playing football from his hotel room on Friday, the tear-away fast bowler tweeted: “Stuck in my room all day, watching these kids playing soccer in the rain looks like plenty fun… #shouldigo.”
Almost an hour later the 32-year-old posted a video on Instagram showing him in a white sleeveless T-shirt, playing football with the kids on cement. Steyn even successfully managed to nutmeg a defender but some shouts in the video suggest he was not quite sure who his teammates were.
The South African caused an uproar earlier this year by saying that the Bangladesh tour was a waste of time for him and he would use the deliveries left in him for major tournaments, which created a buzz in the social media with Bangladesh supporters criticising the pacer for his choice of words.
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.
