Arpit Dhadve’s Lone Battle Stands Tall in Milan Memorial League Clash

The Milan Memorial League witnessed a gripping contest as Ajanta Pharma Limited took on Merck Sports Club in a high-scoring encounter that had individual brilliance written all over it.

Merck Sports Club won the toss and chose to bat first, a decision that initially looked spot on thanks to a remarkable innings from Arpit Dhadve. Batting with composure and intent, Arpit carried Merck’s batting almost single-handedly, scoring a superb 126 runs off 102 balls. While wickets kept falling at the other end, he held firm, finding boundaries at regular intervals and ensuring Merck remained competitive throughout the innings.

Despite Arpit’s resistance, Merck Sports Club was eventually bowled out for 274. The total was respectable, but the lack of substantial partnerships meant the pressure shifted to their bowling unit in the second innings.

Ajanta Pharma Limited responded with confidence during the chase. Keeping the required rate under control, they paced their innings well and reached the target comfortably in 36 overs to seal the win.

Although the result went in favour of Ajanta Pharma Limited, the standout story of the match remained Arpit Dhadve’s outstanding hundred. In a game where his team struggled for support, his knock stood out as a display of temperament, shot selection, and responsibility  a true one-man effort that deserved admiration beyond the final scoreline.

Performances like these often define a player’s impact, and Arpit Dhadve’s innings was undoubtedly the highlight of the Milan Memorial League clash.
