New Delhi: Minutes after Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 9 final on Sunday, Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir took to Twitter to congratulate the winning team.

But it seems, that in his message, Gambhir tried to take a dig at Kohli, with who he had been involved in an on-field scuffle in the same tournament few years back, when the duo had to be separated as they were on verge of a physical fight.
The grudge was quite visible this year as well, when during the match against RCB, Gambhir kicked a chair and hurled a few abuses as Yusuf Pathan was hitting the winning blows.

In his tweet, Gambhir wrote: “Congratulations @SunRisers on winning @IPL Nice guys DO finish first. Well done. Bowler win u cricket matches be it any format @BCCI”, with emphasis on the word ‘DO’.

Now only Gambhir can reveal whether he was taking a pot shot at the Indian Test captain or it was a just an expression by the veteran player.

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.
