Ronaldinho hopes to continue playing

Sao Paulo: Brazil football icon Ronaldinho insisted that he will continue to play despite being left without a club after his contract with Brazilian outfit Fluminense was terminated by mutual consent last month.

Ronaldinho signed for Fluminense in July following a season with Mexican outfit Queretaro, but left the club on September 28.

The former AC Milan footballer struggled to make a positive impact at the four-time Brazilian Serie A champions, appearing in just nine matches. But the 35-year-old has now revealed that he does not intend to hang up his boots and is still being courted by other teams.

“I will continue playing for some time. Offers come and go every day. I feel good, my health is good. It’s a sign clubs are still interested in me,” Ronaldinho was quoted as saying by Radio Rede Atlantida on Wednesday.

“From the way I have been training, I think I can still perform at the same level as the players today, and that keeps me going,” he added.

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.
