Opener Karan Shah blasted his way though with a quick 24 ball 40 while Kushal Dawane at no.4 top scored with 51 runs in an innings where most of the batters got starts but were unable to convert it into something big. From the bowlers, the experienced left arm spinner Vighnesh Solanki with 3/32 in 8 overs was the pick of the lot from Karnatak S.A.
Chasing 234, the openers namely Karan Vasodhia and Shrideep Mangela gave a perfect platform for the chase putting on 109 runs in 17 overs. Karan was dismissed on 47 while Shrideep continued to anchor the chase with a sublime knock of 100 runs in 99 balls (10 fours , 2 sixes). Shrideep who has been scoring well consistently since many seasons displayed a calm head even though wickets were tumbling from the other end.

Tennis Elbow: L𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐢𝐚💥
———
🧠Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia) typically involves pain in the region of the lateral elbow, which is where the common tendon for the wrist extensor muscles attaches. Like other tendon issues, resistance training appears to be helpful in many cases for both reducing painful symptoms and improving the work capacity of the tendon. Here are several strategies that you can try if you are currently experiencing pain in this region.
1️⃣Radial Nerve Mobilization: The radial nerve runs through the extensor compartment of the forearm and may be associated with tennis elbow type pain. The specific movement shown here will put the radial nerve on tension and can be a useful technique for decreasing any nerve sensitivity in the region.
.
2️⃣Wrist Extensor Curls: Move through the full range of motion, which will work the wrist extensors both concentrically and eccentrically. Shoot for 3 sets of 6-12 repetitions.
.
3️⃣Forearm Supinator Curl: This exercise will target the supinator muscle, which also attaches at the lateral elbow. Perform 3 sets of 6-12 repetitions.
–
✅Give these a try and let us know if it proved to be useful or not.

On 6th February at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, over 600 runs, 4 half centuries and a massive unbeaten hundred were accumulated in a single MCA One Day Practice match which speaks about the hunger to prove & perform in the current crop of Mumbai cricketers.

Team A batting first were off to a shaky start with scoreboard reading 3/25 but it was all-rounder Sujit Nayak once again coming up with an impactful performance. Coming at no.4, Sujit scored a well crafted 90 off 120 balls (6 fours, 2 sixes) proving that he can be much more than a T20 hitter. Nayak stitched an 81 run stand with the experienced Aditya Tare who scored a solid half century. Another all-rounder Tanush Kotian who came at no.8 played a blinder of an innings smashing an unbeaten 82* off 64 balls (7 fours, 3 sixes) stitching another 85 runs for the 6th wicket with Sujit Nayak & taking the team total to 311/8 in 48 overs.

Chasing 312, Yashasvi Jaiswal who still seems to be in Mushtaq Ali mode plundered the bowlers with disdain single handedly dominating the chase with his effortless batting. Jaiswal remained unbeaten on 141* off 96 balls (18 fours. 6 sixes) while he was nicely supported by Prithvi Shaw (35 runs), Hardik Tamore (69 runs) & Sarfaraz Khan (49*) as Team C chased it down with superlative ease with 13 overs to spare.
Result: Team C won by 8 wickets
