Adelaide: Australia were 139 for one with a 212-run lead at tea on day four of the first Test against India at the Adelaide Oval here Friday.

One of Australia’s first innings centurion David Warner (batting 69) and all-rounder Shane Watson (batting 33) increased the pressure on India with an unbeaten 101-run stand for the second wicket to put the hosts in the driving seat.

India bowled without much luck and discipline and were made to pay as Australia plundered 107 runs in the session without losing any wicket.

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.
