Indian players participating in Olympics will get financial help from BCCI
The BCCI in its meeting has announced to provide financial assistance to all the players participating in the Olympics from India. During the meeting, it was decided to give Rs 10 crore for the preparation and training of the players of the country who have qualified for the Tokyo Olympics. The board has taken this special step so that any player going to participate in this Mahakumbh of sports should not face any problem.
BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah were also present in this meeting. A senior BCCI functionary said, “BCCI will help the Olympic contingent. The Apex Council has approved Rs 10 crore for this. The funds will be used for the preparation and other purposes of the players who qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. The mode of payment will be decided after talking to the Sports Ministry and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).
This amount to be given by BCCI after the removal of Chinese company Lining as the kit sponsor will certainly help the team in many ways, including training and preparation. “BCCI has always believed in helping in the development of Olympic Games and this is not the first time that such a huge amount has been donated. Even before this the board has been helping on many occasions.

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.
