A Massive 233 by Nikhil Patil Sub Jr alongwith Thorat’s fifer dwarfs Worli SC in the Purshottam Shield’19

Fort Vijay batting first at MIG Cricket Ground were at one stage in deep trouble with half of the team back to pavilion with 123 runs on board. Coming at no.6 when the team was in trouble, Patil changed the game from nowhere smashing a blazing 233 off mere 158 balls laced with 21 fours and 11 sixes. Not only is this the highest score so far this year in Purshottam, but this is also one of the fastest double tons in the history of Purshottam Shield’19. Nikhil Patil was nicely supported by lower order batsman like Siddarth Mhatre (49) & Rohit Yadav (50) as Fort Vijay from 123/5 reached a commanding total of 452/9 in 70 overs.

Worli Sports Club despite a solid 66 by opener Viraj Gamre were all out for 188 runs with left arm spinner Kunal Thorat coming up with excellent bowling spell of 5/54 in 17 overs. Kunal got some crucial wickets at crucial junctures as he ensured the opposition team remained on the backfoot.

Fort Vijay eventually won the game by 264 runs while it was Nikhil Patil grabbing all the attention with his power packed double century.
