A Doctor Special 159* by Dr. Ashish Dadhas in Superb Premier League

Some people are born to make it big & perform well at crucial moments. They may be regular in their day to day routine but they make it big when it is needed. Off the fields he is an established doctor and on a cricket field he is slowly becoming infamous within the bowler community.  Dr. Ashish Dadhas played a very  special knock of 159* off just 54 balls in the ongoing district level tournament of Doctors (Thane Superb Premier League).

This knock reminded  of Adam Gilchrist’s 149 in the 2007 World Cup finals. Coming in at no.3, Kalyan team had no idea what sort of massacre Dr. Ashish Dadhas was going to bring. Fresh from a 56 ball 90 in his last match, his madcap batting was a sight to behold for the spectators as he scored a stroke laden 159* off just 54 balls breaking numerous records on his way. Ashish completely annihilated the Kalyan bowlers with his madcap batting which included a record 13 monstrous sixes to go with 14 boundaries. He spared a few good bowlers but he hardly sympathized with the opposition playing at a strike rate of almost 300! He hit six on 92 and then took a single to complete his century. The mayhem just multiplied after century.

It was because of his gigantic knock, Mumbai Warriors managed to score a huge target of 216 for 5 in just 15overs. The bowlers also did a fantastic job for Mumbai Warriors as they restricted the opposition to mere 91 runs & winning the match by 125 runs.

Dr. Ashish Dadhas who has developed quite a reputation now as an aggressive & hard hitting batsman, rated this innings as his best till date. It was surely a doomsday for kalyan bowlers & a day to rejoice for Mumbai Warriors team as they were qualified for the finals. Dr. Ashish Dadhas was not only adjudged man of the match for his 159* but he was also adjudged “Best Batsman” for scoring 260 runs at an average of 130 & a strike rate of almost 230 in the tournament.
