Khali to lead pro-wrestlers at mega event in Uttarakhand
Dehradun:The Uttarakhand government will be organising a pro-wrestling event – The Great Khali Mania – in February, Chief Minister Harish Rawat announced on Wednesday.
The wrestling matches would be held on February 24 and 28 in Haldwani and Dehradun, he announced.
Professional wrestler Khali, who was present at the event, challenged international wrestlers to try and beat him in Uttarakhand.
Fourteen international fighters, including four women wrestlers, have confirmed their participation in the sporting event. Apart from Khali, other Indian professional wrestlers will also be at the event, an official told IANS.
While more than 15,000 spectators will be accommodated in the two new stadiums built in Haldwani and Dehradun, the matches will be telecast live on big LED screens in all districts of the hill state, the chief minister added.
“Pro wrestling has a huge fan following among the youth in Uttarakhand and Khali’s story is an all-time inspiration for them and hence we sat down together and conceptualised this event,” Rawat said.
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.
