Raina signs for IOS sports management group
New Delhi: Indian cricketer Suresh Raina on Tuesday signed a three-year deal with IOS Sports & Entertainment sports management group.
“I have been observing his company doing very interesting work for Olympic sports persons. I believe IOS had all the requisite credentials I needed, importantly they have a passionate and dedicated team who understand the space and comfort that a sports person needs,” said Raina.
“I am very happy to be represented by IOS and I am also elated that I would be working with the company that has produced results in the recent past.”
Raina is the first cricketer IOS has signed. With this association, IOS will manage Raina’s endorsements and brand associations, corporate profile, patents and digital rights, images, visibility on social networking sites and merchandise.
IOS also manages Olympic medallists Vijender Singh, M.C. Mary Kom, Sushil Kumar and works closely with more than 20 other sports stars including Saina Nehwal, Gagan Narang, Sardar Singh, Yogeshwar Dutt, Heena Sidhu, Sandeep Singh, Rupinder Pal Singh, Deepika Kumari and Sourav Ghoshal.
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.
