India colts win in Asia Champions Trophy
Vasco (Goa): The Indian U-19 football team defeated Thailand’s Chonburi FC 2-1 in their last home match of the FAM-FRENZ Asia Champions Trophy 2015 here on Wednesday.
A late goal by captain Daniel Lalhlimpuia gave the Indian colts much needed three points and propelled them to first in the Group A standings at the Tilak Maidan.
India earlier defeated Malaysia’s Frenz United A 2-1.
On Wednesday, India took an early lead in the 6th minute. Chonburi equalised at the troke of half time.
India scored the match-winning goal in the 89th minute.
India next face Malaysia’s Frenz United A on October 22, 2015 and mathematically need a point to secure qualification to the latter stages of the competition.
“The lads were very disciplined today. There were times when Chonburi got the better of us, but we regrouped and showed our character and desire to win the match. This win gives the Team a boost of confidence,” India’s coach Lee Johnson said after the match.
“If we had taken our chances, who knows what the score-line might be,” Lee added.
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.
