Big-hitter Aman Khan (62) showcases his power along with Shreyas Iyer’s classic 51 in the Mumbai Premier League ‘18
Probably in the Mumbai cricketing circles, everyone knows if there is one batsman who can take the game away from the opposition in a blink of a few minutes, it is this boy Aman and that’s his USP too. He is a very dangerous customer to have in the middle order. The amount of impact he brings down the order is something which comes in very handy for any teams he plays for and he just showed his batting histrionics in the Mumbai Premier League at the Wankhede Stadium on 12th March playing for Namo Bandra Blasters vs Shivaji Park Warriors. Aman who has already smashed some of the quickest hundreds and double hundreds in local cricket proved his credentials at the big stage too and this time in a T20 match.
After winning the toss, Shivaji Park Lions elected to bowl first where in NaMo Bandra were off to a decent start on the back of Kevin and Shreyas. Shreyas Iyer who needs no introduction regarding his class and consistency with the bat smashed a yet another elegant 51 off 33balls to set the tone for Bandra’s innings. Aman Khan who came at no.4 did the finisher’s job to perfection as he went on to score a brutal 28ball 62* which was laced with 5sixes and 4fours to take the team total to a very respectable 182/5 in 20 overs. Aman indulged in brilliant hitting as the rest of the batsman chipped in with runs too.
Defending 185, Bandra boys gave a really tough fight bowling tight restricting Shivaji Park Lions to just 170/9 n 20 overs. Solid opener Bravish Shetty top scored with a fluent 51 while medium Pacer Prashant Bhoir was the pick of the bowlers with 3/28 in 4 overs. The rest of the bowlers also did their job perfectly as Bandra Blasters won the match by 15 runs. It was a match where Bandra looked more confident right from the start while Shreyas, Aman and Prashant played a big role in the win.
