“It isn’t easy to get fit. I will try. I will train a lot,” Ronaldo said at a press conference to announce he has become a part owner of the Florida-based club.
“I love to play. That was my big love. But when I retired, it was because of my body. I had so much pain and so many injuries.”

He has not played since ending his career with Brazilian club Corinthians in 2011.

“We want to have all the best players,” Ronaldo said. “But we don’t have the money yet. We have a budget.”

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.
