Golfer Veer runner-up at MCB Indian Ocean Amateur
Bel-Ombre (Mauritius): India’s Veer Ahlawat scored two-over 74 to finish runner-up in the MCB Indian Ocean Amateur Golf Open at the Heritage Golf Club here on Tuesday.
Another Indian in the fray, Bengaluru’s Jaibir Singh finished ninth after submitting a card of three-over 75 in a competition that had 53 players from Mauritius, Reunion Island, South Africa, Switzerland and France in a 54-hole stroke play event.
Ahlawat had a poor start to his final day and was four-over after three holes. However, he got his game together to finish the round at two-over for the total of four-over 220.
The 25-year-old Jaibir, who was part of the victorious Indian team of the 12th SAARC Team Championship in June this year, put in his best score of the week of three-over 75 for the total of 17-over 233.
South African Paul Boshoff adapted his game to compensate for an injured knee to score a scintillating three-under 69 for a total of two-under 214 to clinch the winner’s trophy.
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.
