Messi asked for on-field selfie by opponent
Vina del Mar (Chile): Lionel Messi may be quite used to pose for selfies, but even for him it was a first when Deshorn Brown requested the star to be clicked with the striker shortly after Argentina’s laboured 1-0 win over Jamaica in Copa America.
Argentina progressed to the quarters as group toppers but their performance was far from satisfactory.
Messi appeared less than satisfied after the win but was polite enough to pose for the picture when approached by Brown, who was visibly happy to be just near him.
Jamaican footballers didn’t seem to mind the defeat.
Brown later posted the picture online with the message: “Not the result we were looking for, but I get to meet the best player in the world and it was a great feeling to play against him!! Best of luck to Messi and Argentina in the rest tournament!!”
Messi also gave away his two match jerseys to Jamaican footballers, who asked for the prized memento.
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.
