Elemnt, India’s 1st sports skincare & cosmetics brand has brought onboard Sarfaraz Khan & Sheldon Jackson to create and build awareness about the use of zinc sunscreen in cricket.
Most cricketers spend a minimum of 4 to 6 hours daily under the harsh Sun – whether it is for net practice or playing a T20 / One Day / Test match.
Not all cricketers are using zinc sunscreen. One reason for the lack of adoption is that most sunscreens were imported from Australia / New Zealand and that makes them very costly. Due to lack of affordability, cricketers do not want to invest in a good zinc sunscreen.
A second and more compelling reason for not using sunscreen is the lack of awareness and widespread availability of homegrown brands. Cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma have been using sunscreen which is imported. Although these cricketers have a huge fan following, most youngsters who play cricket are not aware of affordable & international-quality zinc sunscreens in India.
Both Sarfaraz Khan & Sheldon Jackson have been using Elemnt’s zinc sunscreen for the past 7-8 months and are themselves satisfied with the results.
By bringing onboard known faces in the domestic cricket arena, Elemnt wishes to build awareness about the daily use of zinc sunscreen for better Sun protection.
About Elemnt
Elemnt is India’s 1st sports skincare & cosmetics brand (Elemntlife.com). Started in 2021, Elemnt caters to cricketers, runners & swimmers with innovative products. White zinc sunscreen & brown zinc sunscreen from Elemnt are used by top IPL & Ranji trophy cricketers including Sarfaraz Khan, Sheldon Jackson and others. For more information, visit elemntlife.com

The 4th day of the Tyrant Premier League Season 5 by WallE Events produced some dominant performances. The team of the night were surely the Dark Knight Riders as they played 3 games and won all of them. Just like the Manchester Derby, the Tyrant Premier League has the Strikers Derby. The Biloki sponsored event gave some exciting and unforgettable moments;
Royals No Match For The Charged Knight Riders
The Dark Knight Riders started off the night in a dominant fashion winning by a mammoth margin of 61 runs in a 13 over game against the Romil Diamond Royals. Batting first, the Knight Riders hammered the Royals scoring a total of an unchaseable 106 for the loss of just 3 wickets. Opener Chintit Vasantbhai stole the show as he scored 43 off just 36 deliveries with 3 sixes to his name. He was well aided by his opening partner Rahil (32 off 31). With only 5 batsmen batting throughout the innings, it was a dismal bowling performance. Jash Shiroiya was the only bowler to take wickets as one dismissal was a run out.
Chasing a high target of 106, the Royals crumpled under pressure. The team was all out for just 45 runs in the 11th over. A disappointing game for them with the bat as well as the ball. Nisharg was the bowling star by taking 3 wickets in the 8 balls he bowled to finish off the game.
With one wicket to his name and an outstanding innings, Chintit Vora was declared the man of the match.
The Dark Knight Riders Seal Their Second Consecutive Victory Of The Night
The Knight Riders won their second consecutive game of the night in another dominant performance against the Aadi Strikers. Opting to field first, the Strikers produced a subpar outing with the ball allowing the Knight Riders to score 95. Even though they managed to bowl them out, the target was much more than anticipated. After a dreadful beginning, Tarang and Nilay formed a small partnership which allowed the Knight Riders to make a crucial comeback. Coming down the order, Shanay Chokshi faced only 11 deliveries but hit 3 sixes scoring 21. Apart from 1 bowler, everyone purchased a wicket each. Skipper Mittal Shah bowled an economical spell of 7 for 1 in his 2 overs.
The competitive total of 95 seemed far-fetched for the Strikers as they were restricted to 62 only. With no prominent batting partnership and timely fall of wickets, the Strikers were short by 33 runs. Shaival Seth bowled the spell of his life, giving away only 3 runs in 2 overs and also taking 3 wickets. Shintit Vora was the other bowler who impressed as he picked up 2 wickets at an economy of just 3 runs per over.
For his crucial input with the ball and the bat, Nilay was rightfully announced as the Man Of The Match.
Super Strikers Have The Upper Hand In The Strikers Derby
The Strikers Derby was bleak but gave an important victory to the Super Strikers. Aadi Strikers won the toss and opted to bowl first. The bowling unit of the Aadi Strikers did a fine job as they restricted their opponents for just 78. Abhishek Shah picked up 2 wickets with an impressive economy of just 4 runs per over. An average batting performance of the Super Strikers only saw them score at a run rate of 6 per over. Manit Varaiya and Yashesh scored 16 a piece.
With the target being just a run-a-ball, it seemed the Aadi Strikers struggled against the bowling unit. The Super Strikes gave an excellent performance with the ball as they restricted the Super Strikers under 60 to win the game by 19 runs. A game which should’ve belonged to the Aadi Strikers was won by the Super Strikers.
For his immaculate bowling spell and a finishing touch with the bat, Yashesh Parikh was the Man Of The Match in the Strikers Derby.
The Dark Knight Riders Win The Unwinnable
The final game of the night was a low-scoring thriller between the Dark Knight Riders and the Shah Nawabs. The match was dictated completely by the bowlers on either side. Batting first, the weary Dark Knight Riders scored only 55 in 13 overs. Chintit Vasant bhai and Shaival Sheth scored 11 each and Rushabh Parekh scoring one run less. The Shah Nawabs bowling was top notch as 7 out of 9 bowlers bowled at the economy of 5 or lower. The pick of the bowler’s being, Ankit Shah as he gave away 6 runs in 2 overs and picked up 2 wickets.
With a dominant bowling performance, it was Shah Nawabs’ game to lose. With two wickets falling early, Aagam Doshi contributed 10 runs which in context of the game were crucial runs. But, no other batsman crossed double digits. As the innings came to a close, the Shah Nawabs required only 8 runs in 12 balls with 3 wickets in their hands. It seemed the fate was sealed for, but Knight Rider Rushabh Parekh had other plans. In 5 balls Parekh gave away only 2 runs but purchased all 3 remaining wickets. The Dark Knight Riders finished off their night with a 3 consecutive victory to their name. There were no surprises with the declaration of the Man of The Match as it was Rushabh Parekh.

With the previous day washed out, extra games were accommodated on Day 3 of the Season 5 of the Tyrant Premier League organised by WallE Events but more games meant more action and that is exactly what happened!
Aashni Legends Start Off The Night With A Close Victory Over The Dark Knight Riders
An excellent bowling performance from the Aashni Legends secured a close victory against the Dark Knight Riders by just 7 runs. Winning the toss, the Dark Knight Riders elected to chase which in hindsight proved costly. The Legends managed only 86 in 13 overs. Opener Parth Deep scored almost 50 % of the total score (41 off 25) with 5 sixes to his name. Captain Manmeet was the only other batsman to score in the double digits. Rahil from the Knight Riders picked up 3 wickets in just one single over giving away only a run.
After an excellent bowling performance, it was time for the Dark Knight Riders to chase down a comparatively easy target. Nilay Nimeshbhai was the only batsman who got going against the Legends, scoring a modest 38 off 43 balls. Unfortunately, no other batter contributed and the Knight Riders were bundled up for 79. All bowlers from the Legends made sure the run rate is under control and also purchased timely wickets. Vishal was the best bowler as he took 2 wickets while Deep Shah gave only 6 runs away in his 2 overs taking a wicket.
Vishal was declared the Man Of The Match.
Strikers Chase Down Against The Romil Diamond Royals
The game between Romil Diamond Royals vs Aadi Strikers was quite one sided. Batting first, the Diamonds scored only 70 runs with the loss of 5 wickets. Skipper Abhishek Agarwal was the highest run getter (24 off 36) for the Royals. Overall, it looked an immense struggle for the team batting first. The bowling from the Strikers though was exquisite. No bowler gave away runs for more than the economy of 7.5 per over. Mittal Shah, Anshul Jogani and Ruchin Shah took 1 wicket each.
The Aadi Strikers comfortably chased down the target of 71 with almost 3 overs to spare. Nirmit gave a steady start to the innings as he faced 31 balls scoring 34 runs. After 3 quick wickets, Anshul Jogani (18 off 9) and skipper Mittal Shah (14 off 7) finished off the chase in style. Unfortunately, the Royals struggled throughout the game.
For his all-round performance, Anshul Jogani was adjudged Man Of The Match.
The Super Strikers With Back-To-Back Victories Of The Night
The Dark Knight faced the Super Strikes in their second game of night but the result was the same as the first one for them. The Knight Riders opted to field first but this plan backfired again as the Super Strikers hammered 94 in 13 overs for the loss of 6 wickets. Captain Abhishek Ajbani and Yashesh Arun Parikh were the pick of the batsman scoring 22 off 21 and 33 off 31 respectively. Nilay Nimeshbhai Dani was the best bowler as he picked up 2 wickets in 2 overs with an economy of 5.5.
When it was their time to bat, the Dark Knight Riders were nowhere. Coming down at number 6, Shukan Varia scored a valiant 37 but it was all in vain as they were all out for just 75. The bowler’s from the Super Strikers did an amazing job by picking up crucial wickets. Anees Kachwala, Abhishek Ajbani and Yashesh Arun Parikh, all took 2 wickets each.
For a swift victory by 19 runs, Abhishek Ajbani was declared the Man Of The Match for his super performance.
The Legends Prevail Over The Cobras
The Cobras and the Legends locked horns in a close encounter as the latter prevailed over by a margin of just 5 runs. After winning the toss, the Cobras asked Ashni Legends to bat first who scored a steep 91 in their 13 overs. After a poor start, Captain Manmeet and Rishi Tater anchored the rocking ship and scored 32 each. Hussain Bootwala and Shreyas from the Cobras picked up 2 wickets each in a rather costly innings. The Cobras were required to chase down the target of 91 with a run rate of just above 7.
The second innings began and the Cobras were 36 for 4 in just the 6th over. Captain Ayush Poddar somehow tried his level best by scoring a rapid fire 32 off just 23 deliveries but without the support of his comrades, they were short by just 5 runs.
For his 32 and a crucial wicket, Rishi Tater was the Man of The Match in this close encounter.
Dark Knight Riders Thrash The Cobras, Winning By 56 runs
In their final game of the night, the Knight Riders absolutely dominated the AH Cobras. Batting first, the Knight Riders made 92 in 13 overs for the loss of 7 wickets. Almost every batsman contributed towards the target but the innings was held by Shaival Sheth who made a run-a-ball 28 with 3 boundaries and a six. He was well supported by the likes of Rahil, Chintit and Nilay. The Cobras had an expensive bowling outing as they were hit for more than 7 runs per over. Hussain Bootwala and Sambhav Sanghavi took 2 wickets each.
The Cobras had a dismal time with the bat as they batted for 8 overs only and were bundled up for a poor 36. No batsmen scored in the double digits. Credit to the bowlers, all bowlers contributed towards a dominant performance. Nilay Nimeshbhai Dani bowled a captain’s spell by taking 4 wickets in his 2 overs giving away only 7 runs.
The game was emphatically won by the Dark Knight Riders by a whopping 56 runs as skipper Nilay was rightfully declared as the Man Of The Match.
The Strikers Winning Streak Ends As Aashni Legends Win Out The Final Game Of The Night
In the final game of the night, Aashni Legends won against the Super Strikers in an another dominant fashion. The Super Strikers won the toss and unlike any other team this night elected to bat first but this didn’t go according to plan as they were restricted to 58 in 13 overs. Harsh Mehta and Sahil Shah scored 11 each but it wasn’t sufficient. As they ran out of overs, wickets tumbled and the game heavily swung towards the Legends. Atit and Vatsal bowled extremely well and picked up two wickets each. Atit gave away only 5 runs in his 2 overs.
The dismal first innings of the Strikers meant a hardship for their bowling unit. For the Legends, it was a cakewalk as they chased down the target of 64 with more than 5 overs to spare with 8 wickets in hand. Openers Parth (20 off 20) and Vishal (23 off 23) gave a steady start. The partnership of 38 was broken but it was too late for the Strikers to make a comeback. With a low target on board, there was minimum the bowlers could do to win the game.
Vatsal Vijay Shah was declared the Man of The Match for his supreme bowling and quick fire 12 off just 3 deliveries.
With this game, came a close to day 3 of the Tyrant Premier League Season 5.
The Legends League was packed with international icons which reignited memories. Abhishek Sawant, a physiotherapist from Mumbai was parachuted in to serve the Australian Legends. Sawant had an unforgettable time with the team. He sat down with Cricketgraph and described his time with the team down under:
When did you come to know about this assignment and what was your reaction?
I was home and on 9th September, I got a call from Vaibhav Daga, The Head of Sports and Rehabilitation at Kokilaben Hospital. He asked me what my immediate plans were for the coming weeks and said “I want you to work with the Australian Legends in the Road Safety World Series. Pack your bags, we’re leaving tomorrow.” He told me the other 7 teams had the support staff assigned already but for the Australians, they required someone who could live up to high expectations with experience and since I wasn’t associated with the Mumbai Cricket Association anymore, I took it up as a challenge and a learning experience. It was quite the shock and I was quite excited too.
How did you feel when you interacted with them for the first time?
Immediately after the call, I looked up the team. The team was packed; Shane Watson, Brad Hodge, Brett Lee, Brad Haddin, Callum Ferguson to name a few. So many world cup winners and retired legends in the team. Apart from being a great player, they were modest and polite who made me feel like a part of their family. Actually, the first person I met was Brett Lee. Brett and I were catching the same flight as we both were arriving late. I was waiting for an opportunity to meet him but it happened only after we landed. We conversed and bonded on the ride to the hotel room from the airport. It was as surreal as it could get.
As a physiotherapist, what were the challenges you faced and how did you cope with it?
As I mentioned earlier, the Australians were thorough professionals. As they are retired now, I knew that they must have undergone numerous injuries, surgeries, and rehabs throughout their career.
During their prolonged career, they must have gone through numerous physios. The main challenge was to provide and deliver the same standard of care and treatment that they would receive back there in Australia. I saw this as an opportunity and believed in my work that I could deliver the same standard of care. My focus was to do the right things at the right time.
Post training and matches, Girish Gawde and I, our team massage therapist, used to have a detailed discussion about all the players and plan their recovery. The climate conditions here in India are more or less hot and humid in general, so recovery was the key to get them up and going focusing more on hydration and sleep. I used to look after the niggles that the players used to have post matches and schedule their timings for the massages with Girish. I used to take the players to the gym for rehab work. As there was no strength and conditioning coach with the team, I had to often look after the training as well. As the Australians love playing Footy, we used to incorporate it as part of active recovery post game.
You were the physio for the Mumbai Ranji Trophy Team, how different and unique was working with the Australian Legends as compared to a first class team?
In one word, “Professionalism”. I understood the real meaning of that word after my stint here. They were always very particular and respectful about everything. One thing that fascinated me was their punctuality. If there was an appointment of 12 noon, the players would be there 5 minutes prior. The fact that career success and glory never meddled with their professionalism is absolutely captivating. I remember Brett was scheduled for a session at 12 but was running late due to unforeseeable situation. He messaged me saying he would be there by 12:02 and apologized. The moment it struck 2 minutes past twelve, he was geared up and ready. All members of the Australian Legends never took anything for granted either. They were generous and communicated openly. All training programs were religiously followed. No wonder they were the world world champions.
Could you share a fond memory ?
As a genuine fan of cricket, I grew up watching the yellow jersey dominate and win 3 back to back World Cups. Just the pure fact that I would be sharing the dressing room with them and have an opportunity to showcase my skills just seems like a dream come true.
If I had to pick one, I would say my time with Brett Lee was something I would cherish forever. Since the car ride till the final day of the tour, we shared a lot of wonderful memories. I remember, after the first game, Brett had come to me with an injury. The injury seemed severe as he had to sit out for a few games. During his break, we worked together tirelessly to make him match-fit. A lot of focus on rehab and attaining peak fitness. Fortunately the injury was resolved and he played the next game. Brett bowled magnificently and most importantly, without any niggles. During the time out, he called me on the field. As soon as I arrived, he hugged me tightly and appreciated my efforts there and there itself. I will never forget that moment ever. I also spent time with his son, Preston. Even we shared an amazing bond. We ate, trained and spent a lot of time together.
They used to call me and Girish the A-Team.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time there as their physio. All players treated me as their friend. They used to check on me to make sure I wasn’t left out of anything. No attitude, no ego, just a bunch of good blokes playing cricket.
After a successful but short stint with the Australian Legends, where can we see you working as a physiotherapist?
After an emphatic and unexpected tour like this, my immediate focus is back on my personal clients. I opted not to be associated with the Mumbai Cricket Association as I want to look forward to new challenges. I grew as a physiotherapist and shared the dressing room with talented cricketers at MCA for the last 5 years. I am nothing but grateful for it. Apart from my practice, I would like to be a part of an IPL team in the coming months.
Abhishek Sawant looks to push his luck in franchise leagues and challenge himself.
