19yr old speedster Siddarth Kotak stirs up a storm with a stunning 12wkt haul in the Kanga League 2017

Played at the Khar Gymkhana on November 5, it was a match between Khar Gymkhana and Kandivali CA where in Khar Gymkhana won the toss and elected to bowl first as they have a good bowling attack to trouble the opposition.

Their decision to bowl first was quite spot on as they restricted Kandivali CA to just 149/all out in 38.4 overs. Hardly any batsman managed to create any impact as most of them gave a start and lost their wickets. The bowler who inflicted maximum damage was this 19year old prodigy who is touching good speeds for his age and troubled the batsman with excellent line and length in that match. Right arm fast bowler Siddarth Kotak came up with match winning bowling figures of 7/67 in 15 overs and ran through the entire batting line up of Kandivali CA.

In reply, Khar Gymkhana showed how strong they are as they also batted really well declaring their innings on 163/3 where in in-form opener Priyank Shetty top scored with an attacking 62 while Sahil Kukreja remained unbeaten with a solid half century. If the 1^st innings damage was not enough, Siddarth continued to haunt the Kandivali boys with his bowling as he took another 5wkts in the 2^nd innings restricting Kandivali to 8/38 in the 2^nd innings in 13 overs before the end of the game’s play. Khar Gymkhana comfortably won the match on 1^st innings and young Siddarth’s perfomance who has taken 16wkts so far in 3matches was definitely the talking point in the match. Cricketgraph congratulates Siddarth while wishes luck to both the teams for a great season ahead.
