During the meeting, Khattar discussed with Vijender the plans of his government for the further development of sports in the state and the 30-year-old pugilist extended his full support to the Chief Minister for it.

As we all know that Haryana has produced many international star players in different sports in the last few years, so I want this to continue in future also and I extend my full support to Khattar for the development and promotion of sports in Haryana,” Vijender said in a release.
Khattar also congratulated Vijender for two consecutive wins in his professional career and assured him full support for future.
“I am pleased to meet our chief minister and thanked him for extending his full support in the debut of my professional career. Khattar is very happy with my performance and he congratulated me for two back to back wins. I am happy that he is following my professional fights very closely,” Vijender added.
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.
