Automotive completes 70 years in style; Team Automotive thrashes Yes Bank by 142 runs
On December 1, Automotive Manufacturers Private Limited (AMPL) completed its 70 years in style, when Team Automotive thrashed Yes Bank by a whopping sum of 142 runs during the Automotive Cricket League at MIG Bandra, Mumbai. AMPL could not have asked for a better start to kick off the new-year than the thumping win achieved by its cricket team on Saturday.
Riding on a master class performance of opening batsman Aditya Shemadkar, Automotive posted a daunting target of 227 in 20 overs. Aditya played an unbeaten knock of 133 (63), smacking 15 boundaries and five sixes. Shemadkar looked in phenomenal touch right from the word go and took the Yes Bank bowlers to task on Saturday morning. Azhar Ansari with a quickfire 44 (30) helped Automotive to get past the 200-run mark. The Yes Bank bowlers had a horrendous day at office and were completely unbankable as they could just pick up four wickets. Abhishek Chaurasia was the pick of the bowlers with 2-39 in his four overs.
In reply, Yes Bank could only manage 85 in 20 overs at the cost of five wickets. Aniket Sharma top scored with 34. The Automotive bowlers were disciplined and hit the right areas to restrict their opposition. Parth Mehta and Sarthak Gangavane scalped couple of wickets each in their four over spells.
Automotive’s Aditya Shemadkar bagged the Man of the Match award for his mind bolwing knock of 133 runs. Aditya expressed, “I am happy that I scored a century today. In my earlier matches I got the odd 30s and 40s but could not play a big innings. Our win today is even more sweeter as out company Automotive is celebrating its 70th anniversary. Mr. Bharat Sanghvi, Mr. Sachin Sanghvi, and Mr. Aditya Sanghvi have been the pillars of strength and have always encouraged us to play cricket”.
Indeed, it was a stupendous way to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Automotive Manufacturers Private Limited
