I’m not affected by criticism: Mohun Bagan coach Sen

Kolkata, Jan 1 (IANS) Mohun Bagan coach Sanjoy Sen, who is under the cosh after a string of draws, asserted on Monday that speculation of him being removed from the club does not affect him.

There have been speculation that Sen, who helped Mohun Bagan win the league a few years ago, may be sacked after the club’s recent spate of underwhelming results.

The green and maroon brigade have failed to win in the last three matches and were poor in their display as well.

On the eve of their I-League match against Chennai City FC, Sen was asked whether he is upset by the catcalls and feels he does not deserve such flak after doing so well all the while he has been with the club.

“Whether I deserve or not, I don’t know. I am not affected by such talk,” an irate Sen told reporters.

“I am not attached to any club. When I will feel like, I will walk away. I don’t care what people are saying and I don’t mind that,” he added.

Asked if he has a plan ‘B’ to stem the rot, an irritated Sen retorted: “All along I have played with just one plan. Ask those who talk about plan B, C, D and so on. Jose Mourinho (Manchester United manager) is currently struggling to sketch a plan ‘B’. I really don’t know the answer to these questions.”

Mohun Bagan are placed fourth in the league table with 10 points from six matches.

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.
