There are players, there are outstanding players and then there are legends. 50 yr old Abey Kuruvilla, a veteran of 82 first class games and the man who has played alongside Tendulkar, Dravid and Azharuddin in the 90’s in Tests and ODI’s is giving inspiration goals to many youngsters by still playing cricket with full passion.
Abey who was in the news earlier for scoring 84 and taking 4 wkts a few weeks ago in the Kanga is now again making the headlines smashing the 2nd fastest ton for this year’s Kanga across all divisions. Kandivali CA after being all out for 107 runs received a solid reply from Pandurangwadi team as openers Yogesh Pawar (78 runs) and Abey Kurivilla stitched a massive 160 run stand in mere 16.1 overs. Abey on the other hand went on to score a brilliant 103 in just 54 balls laced with 11 fours and 6 sixes. For Abey- the humble giant, no ground seems to be big enough as he thrashed the bowlers with ease as Pandurangwadi reached a score of 231/5 dec winning the match on 1st innings lead.
