Remember Kallis and Afridi taking a 5wkt haul as well as smashing a half century at the International level? Be it at any level in cricket, there are very few players who can achieve this feat and all-rounder Nitin Surve who also happens to be a cricket coach & a former Ranji Cricketer led from the front as an example first scoring a solid half century and then bowling a match winning spell of 5wkts!
Khar Gymkhana bowling first on their own turf took on Shivaji Park Youngsters who batted well to notch up 172/6 dec in 44.2overs. The team which was struggling at 3/19 and 5/64 reached 172/6 as Mandar Phadkar and Nitin Surve stitched a 108run stand rescuing the team from a low total. Nitin scored a run a ball 56 which had 6sixes while Mandar Phadke remained unbeaten on 49*falling just one short of a match saving 50!
Shivaji Park boys pounced upon Khar Gymkhana batsman on their own den as they reduced them to mere 67/all out with all-rounder Nitin bagging 5/23 in 13overs with his wily leg-spin. Rahul Ratnaparkhi was also quite impressive bagging 4wkts as Shivaji Park youngsters won the match on 1st innings lead. Nitin achieved one of the rare milestones any all-rounder would dream of as we wish him and the team a great season ahead.
