7 Ducks in an innings! Left arm spinner Zenith Sachdev shines in Bombay Junior Shield’20

Sportsman CC Club, Kalyan after being put to bat first at Oval Maidan were all out for 66 runs in 25.4 overs in what looked like a big batting collapse for them. The highest score in their innings was of their opener Rohan Karandikar scoring 21 while players right from no.3 to no.7 failed to open their accounts with every batsman getting out on ducks. It was Vedant Patil who bridged the ducks gap scoring 20 at no.8 while the no.9 & no.10 players also got out on 0 with as many as 7 ducks registered in Sportsman CC’s innings. The bowler who played a principal role in such calculated destruction was young and promising left arm spinner Zenith Sachdev who came up with unbelievable bowling figures of 7/12 in 9 overs coupled with 6 maidens.

Chasing 68 was a mere formality for Shantibhai Seth Memorial CC as they won the match by 9 wkts chasing it down in just 9.2 overs.
