Berlin: Berlin strengthened their midfield with the signing of Bayern youngster Mitchell Weiser, the “Hertha” said.

Hertha Berlin wrapped up the first summer transfer as Mitchel Weiser joined from the German record champions. The 21-year-old midfielder inked a three-year deal, which keeps him at Berlin until June 2018, reported as per news agency.

“Mitchell is a young and viable player who is fast on both wings,” Berlin’s manager Michael Preetz told the club’s official homepage on Thursday.

Weiser joined the “Bavarians” in June 2013 to make 16 appearances and one goal with the first team. However, he played mainly for Bayern’s second team.

“I see this transfer as an exciting challenge. I want to contribute with the great supporters to complete a successful season,” the new arrival said.

Hertha Berlin completed the last season on the 15th place of the Bundesliga standings.

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.
