Madrid: The Spanish Professional Football League, LFP, has named Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti as La Liga Manager of the Month in November.

Ancelotti won the award Wednesday night after winning all possible league points in November — 12 points in four matches in which Real Madrid scored 15 times.

“These numbers, together with the side’s scintillating form and their splendid month, added to Ancelotti’s talent to get the best from players like Isco, James Rodriguez and Marcelo mean that the Real Madrid manager is the Liga manager of the month,” LFP said in a statement published on its website.

LFP also stressed that “the fact the side has recorded 16 wins on the spin deserves even more plaudits”.

“With him on the touchline, the Whites are experiencing their best ever winning run in all competitions, beating the record previously set by Jose Mourinho and Miguel Munoz,” LFP noted.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

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.
