Mexico City: Ronaldinho, two-time world footballer of the year, has been threatened with the sack if he doesn’t return to his Mexican club Queretaro on time.

The Brazilian had said he would return to the club a fortnight ago but fail to turn up for pre-season training on time, reports.

Previously, he was allowed to go to the US and Brazil to put his personal affairs in order.

Arturo Villanueva, the club president, Tuesday said that if Ronaldinho did not appear by the next week he would prefer “to take on someone else”.

Club’s sporting director Joaquin Beltran expressed that Ronaldinho did not enjoy special status because he scored three goals and set up one other in his nine games for Queretaro.

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.
