Kalinga Lancers have a strong chance in HIL: Gurjinder
New Delhi: Promising drag-flicker Gurjinder Singh is excited to show his skills for the Kalinga Lancers in the Hero Hockey India League (HIL) 2015, and said his team is one of the strongest sides in the league starting Jan 22.
“It is exciting to see yourself as a part of HIL where both young and experienced players as well as domestic and foreign players get to showcase their skills and prove their worth on an unparalleled platform. It is a stage which helps players like me to learn more each day and better the performance for the next day,” he said.
Gurjinder played for the now-defunct Mumbai Magicians in 2014.
“Kalinga Lancers’ team line-up, I believe, is one of the strongest in the league. With the penalty corner opportunities that will be created by the likes of Lalit Upadhyay, Argentine Lucas Villa and Australian Russell Ford, I will give my best to convert most of them into goals.”
In the first match, the Lancers will take on Ranchi Rays at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.

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.
