Berlin: Switzerland international Josip Drmic has joined German football club Borussia Monchengladbach from Bayer Leverkusen.

Monchengladbach reinforced their offense with the signing of Leverkusen striker Drmic, who on Wednesday penned four-year deal, until June 2014, with the “Foals”, as per reports.

“We were interested in signing Josip Drmic last year. However, back then he opted for Leverkusen. We are now very pleased that we finally sealed the deal. Josip is fast and a prolific striker who will fit into our team,” Monchengladbach’s sporting director Max Eberl said.

The 22-year-old played for a year at Leverkusen where he scored six goals in overall 36 appearances. Drmic is since 2012 part of the Switzerland team. He scored three goals in 14 caps.

Monchengladbach completed the last Bundesliga season on the third place to earn a berth for the European Champions League group stage.

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.
