Rio De Janeiro: Two-time FIFA World Player of the Year winner Ronaldinho has escaped unhurt from a car accident in Brazil.

The 35-year-old was on his way to celebrate his mother’s birthday in Porto Alegre when the vehicle driven by his personal chauffeur veered of the road, as per reported.

Nobody was injured in the accident and there were no other vehicles involved. Photos published on social media showed the car tilting in a shallow roadside ditch.

“It wasn’t anything serious,” Ronaldinho’s brother and agent Roberto de Assis told Lancenet. “Luckily nobody was hurt. That’s the most important thing.”

The accident came just days after the former Barcelona star left Brazilian outfit Fluminense by mutual consent.

He failed to score or provide an assist during his nine matches in three months for the Rio de Janeiro club.

Assis has denied the forward might retire and promised “there could be some surprises” amid speculation linking him to the US and China.

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.
