London: Leicester City manager, Nigel Pearson, said he would not appeal his touchline ban for swearing at one of the football club’s supporters.

Pearson was penalised Tuesday for using an abusive word at the fan during his side’s 1-3 defeat against Liverpool in English Premier League Dec 2, as per reports.

He was handed an one-match touchline ban and fined 10,000 pounds ($15,517) after being found guilty.

The 51-year-old will not fight the charge, meaning he will be banned when Leicester, currently bottom of the Premier League, host Tottenham Hotspur on Boxing Day.

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.
