Triple H beat Jinder Mahal in WWE Live event
New Delhi, Dec 9 (IANS) Paul Michael Levesque, better known by the ring name Triple H, defeated former champion Jinder Mahal in the marquee clash of the WWE Live event at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium here on Saturday.
In the final match of the event, Jinder and Triple H displayed their class and entertained the jam-packed stadium, which was rooting more for the Triple H.
Initially it was all Jinder. The Indo-Canadian boxer thrashed Triple H all over the ring but soon, the 48-year-old US player bounced back and started troubling the 31-year-old Jinder.

Jinder survived Triple H’s finishing move once but at the end, the US player again came up with that move and sealed the match. Triple H grabbed and twisted Jinder’s arms behind him and slammed him on to the mat to finish the match.
After losing the match, when Jinder was walking, Triple H called him back to the ring and praised him.
Triple H also said India is in good hands and despite criticism, the Indo-Canadian player has earned his respect.
Mahal, on the other hand, thanked people in Punjabi and Hindi and promised that the next time WWE comes to India, he will be the champion.

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.
