Ajay “Singhs” songs of Montage success against Kotak Mahindra Bank

Riding on Ajay Singh Janu’s stellar performance with the bat, Montage clinched an easy win against Kotak Mahindra Bank on Saturday during the Automotive Cricket League T20. It was a day filled with a rare coincidence when the two opening batsmen scored an unbeaten 133 in their respective matches for a winning cause.

Batting first, Montahe put up a humongous score of 236 in 20 overs, losing just one wicket. The opening bat Ajay Singh Janu was firing on all cylinders as he amassed an unbeaten 133 off just 62 balls, smashing 17 boundaries and five sixes. Singh was hitting the sweet part of the bat regularly and giving a bitter taste of his stroke play to the Kotak Mahindra team. The opposition bowlers were hapless as they miserably failed to get the better of the opening bat. Devendra kadam was the lone wicket taker for the Bank.  

Chasing a huge target of 237, it was important for Kotak to get off to a good start. However they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and never looked in the game to chase down the target. Anant top scored with 31, but could not find an able ally. Eight bowlers were used by Montage, with Aman being the pick of the bowlers with 2-4 in his one over. In the end, Kotak Mahindra Bank was bundled out for a paltry 117 in 18.1 overs, losing the match by an enormous margin of 119 runs.

Ajay Singh Janu was awarded as the Man of the Match and he stated, “I can’t express it in words but hitting a century in T20 is always special. The wicket was excellent to bat on and I relished playing the pacers today. I hope to continue on the similar fashion going ahead”.
