Brazilian Neymar dyes beard blonde
Rio de Janeiro: Not one to be left behind, Brazil’s star footballer Neymar got into the festive mood by dying his beard blonde.
According to the Daily Mail, the Brazilian poster boy showed off his new look when he played in a charity match in Brazil, Friday.
It was not only his beard that caught the eye, as Neymar also drove a cart comically around the field much to the delight of the fans, to tend to former Brazilian teammate Robinho’s pretentious injury.
Neymar and Robinho then combined to score during the match.
It was his second charity match in four days after he captained a side boasting his friends against a side of Brazilian basketball star Nene’s friends in a charity match in Sao Paulo Monday.

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.
