Record Bowling Figures: Amogh Karthik scalps 8wkts for 2runs vs Shiv Samarth in the DSO U/17 Tournament

Played at the Oval Maidan Ground, it was a match between two young teams namely Shiv Samarth and VVHS where in VVHS won the toss and elected to bat first as the wicket was looking good to bat first.

Batting first, VVHS made a very competitive score of 156/2 in 12 overs. It was a great display of batting as they scored at a rate 13runs per over. Young and talented Tejas Desmukh’s batting was simply beautiful to watch as he scored an aggressive 62 off 27balls while he got good support from Sahil Ghode and Yash Sheikh who also chipped in with 34 and 22 respectively.

Chasing 157 in 12 overs is a daunting task and fast bowler Amogh Karthik mesmerized everyone with his pace bowling as he took 8/2 in 2.4 overs which are by far the best bowling figures ever heard in the Mumbai cricketing circles. What’s more this talented 16year old prodigy not only took a 8wkt haul but took 2wkts in 2balls twice which reduced the opposition to just 3runs/all out. Amogh took 8wkts in 16balls (3wkts in 3consecutive balls, though a gap of an over in between) and surely displayed the vast amount of talent which he possesses with the ball.  Amogh’s line, length, pace and discipline coupled with consistency was really commendable for his age and it’s definitely an indication of a great career in cricket if he continues playing like this. VVHS won the match in a dominating style and Amogh was definitely the player of the match. Cricketgraph congratulates Amogh, Tejas and all his mates while wishes luck to both the teams for their upcoming matches.
