New Delhi: Indian Super League (ISL) outfit Delhi Dynamos will continue their pre-tournament training in Denmark after completing their Sweden tour, the franchise said on Monday.

Dynamos will play against local side FCV Vikings in a friendly match on September 16. Dynamos started their pre-tournament training in Sweden at the start of the month.

“The experience in Sweden was fantastic with quality infrastructure and opponent. We are expecting the same from Denmark as Sweden and Denmark are one of the best European football nations – infrastructure and game wise,” Dynamos president Prashant Agarwal said in a statement.

“It was very strategic of us to play difficult games before we go back to India so as to estimate what we can expect from our opponents back at home and improve ourselves accordingly,” he added.

Dynamos will be coached by Brazilian legend Roberto Carlos, who is also their marquee player. The franchise also boasts of big names like Frenchman Florent Malouda and Norwegian John Arne Riise.

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.
