For Bluestar CC, Omakr and Anuj were certainly the Kuldeep and Jadeja of their team as both the left arm spinners successfully defended their team total of mere 138 runs. Bluetstar CC after electing to bat first were bundled out for just 138 runs with skipper Vishal Bhilare fighting it out with a crucial 67*off 82 balls (9 fours) at no.5. It was a perfect captain’s knock as his fifty helped the team from not getting all out under 100 runs.
Now it was the time for their bowlers to come up with something special vs Kurla SC and that’s when Omkar and Anuj came into the scene. Left-arm Spinner Anuj Bhosale came up with bowling figures of 5/59 in 12 overs while his partner Omkar who is also one promising left arm spinner came up with 4/22 in 5 overs as Kurla SC were all out for 131 runs in a thriller of a match.
Bluestar CC won the match on 1st innings lead of 7 runs while it was Vishal, Omkar and Anuj being the standout performers in the match.
In the match which was held between Singhania School and JBCL at the Shivaji Park, Dadar. Singhania School after opting to bat first did an excellent job posting a mammoth total of 234/0 in 20 overs. It’s a rare occurrence when openers bat unbeaten right from the start to end as Aarush and Puranjay just entertained the crowd batting for the entire 20 overs together.
Both the young kids stitched an epic 234 run stand in 120 balls with both of them bringing up their centuries. Aarush Patankar scored 104* in mere 61 balls (11 fours) while Puranjay Sawant scored 107* off 62 balls (11 fours). Both the boys took on the bowlers with authority while also did good running between the wickets.

Rahul smashed 106 off 123 balls (12 fours) as he pushed his team towards a 200+ total with ease. Rahul displayed good temperament and smashed some really impressive shots en-route his hundred.

Marwari CC in reply scored 137/6 before the end of the game’s play where the match ended in a draw. Even though no results came out, Rahul’s ton remained the highlight performance of the match.
We all have been in doubt at least once in our life when we talk about nutrition and a basic question
regarding the quality & quantity of protein that should be eaten by an individual to gain muscle or
increase performance or just to maintain healthy fitness levels.
In this article I will answer these questions not only of fitness enthusiasts but sportsmen’s as well.
Lets look at these one by one.
1) How much protein do I need ?
This is a very common question which goes around all corners of fitness facility and looking
at the popularity of the question there are different narratives as well.
I recommend you to just follow this basic guideline which I am about to share based on
scientific studies and not a bro tip which you get everyday from self-proclaimed nutrition
experts.
The human body absorbs certain amount of protein depending on physical activity as well as
environmental conditions (more protein must be consumed in cold weathers).
Follow this simple equation:-
1) Upper limit (for highly active individual)
1.7 grams of protein X Bodyweight = Required amount of protein (in grams)
2) Lower limit (for average individual)
1.2 grams of protein X Bodyweight = Required amount of protein (in grams)
Multiply 1.2 to 1.7 grams of protein into your bodyweight. The result you get is the amount
of protein (in grams) that you will need every day.
2) Do I need to buy whey protein ?
Have you ever felt like a trainer forces you to take whey protein?
Well, some do have a selfish agenda while others speculate your need for protein looking at
your physical activity & intensity of your workouts.
Whey protein is the fastest absorbing protein which you can get in the market. However, caution must be taken while buying a whey protein tub as India is famous for duplicity in protein supplement. I will tell you from where and which brand of supplement you should buy in another article as I would refrain from doing publicity of brands which would make this article look more like brand promotion and less educational.
If you are exercising regularly from the last 3 to 6 months then yes, you need at least 1 scoop of whey protein after your workout. Also consider whey protein as more of a food in powder form rather than considering it a supplement. Whey helps you recover faster hence making you strong and athletic.
3) Which is the Best Source of Protein ?
When we talk about quality of protein everything boils down to the number of Essential
Amino Acids (EAA’s) that food contains. Biological value of protein matters when considering
its quality. The more biological value of protein the richer it is in EAA’s.
| Quality of Proteins | Protein Source | Bio Value |
| 1st Class (Complete Proteins) | White Egg
Milk|Whey Paneer/Casein |
104
91 104/88 |
| Chicken, Fish, Meat
Egg Whites |
80-85
75-77 |
|
| 2nd Class (Incomplete Proteins) | Soya
Dals |
35 |
4) I am a vegetarian, Where do I get my protein from?
Vegetarian food is less calorically dense ( not considering unhealthy sweets & fried foods)
compared to non-vegetarian food. Therefore, the first thumb rule is consume the same
amount calories as your non-vegetarian buddy who is looking to achieve the same goal.
Secondly, I would recommend is having 2 scoops of whey protein (one in breakfast & one
after workout) to cope up with the daily required amount of protein. Thirdly, consider eating
eggs as it is vegetarian protein proven by scientific research (the eggs we eat are not fertile
hence they have no life). There are many more ways that a vegetarian can achieve his
desired performance all he has to do is consult a fitness coach/trainer who can keep a
record of how the body reacts to different vegetarian foods.
Played between Sanjeevani Cricket Academy and BCA, SCA winning the toss batted first scoring a healthy total of 259/3 in 40 overs. Arsh Krishnater opening the innings scored a very solid looking 114 off 125 balls (15 fours, 2 sixes) which set the tone for SCA’s innings. Apart from him, Krish (43) and Parth (60*) pushing the team to a decent total.
In reply, BCA lost the game while chasing falling short of 39 runs despite a fighting ton by Aditya who scored 101 opening the innings.
SCA dominated well on the back of their solid batting while Arsh was impressive with the way he batted. Even in the recently held match of Gokuldham High School vs Swami Vivekananda International School (Kandivali):-Gokuldham high school won by 50 runs with Arsh Krishnater being man of the match for his brillaint 84*in the Poinsur Gymkhana tournament.
A nail biting finish to an outstanding match. Put into bat HUL lost mario on the first ball. Sujay and Vijay steadied the innings to some extent and then we lost Vijay as well. Alok Rajesh and bagul and Prasad chipped with their small contribution, but batting class was displayed by Sujay who ensured HUL were cruising at a steady 7 run rate till the end. Sujay made a classy 70 with few of them going out of the ground for 6 as well. HUL made 136.
Being Cross Maidan, the ground is small and 136 was just a par score. This needed some good bowling. TATA AIG lost their 1st wicket in the first over of bagul inswinger. Mario as usual was tight with his line and length and kept getting wickets in every over. They were 4 down for 37 in 7 overs. 1st and 2nd change was brought in with Alok and Varun, though bowled good but went for few runs and wicket less. They lost couple of wickets in between but also had couple of good partnerships in between. Match which was almost in HUl control started drifting a little towards last 5/6 overs when it was almost reachable for them. Match boiled down to 36 in 4 when Nilesh and Sujay were bowling and both bowled pretty tight.
Went down to 17 in 2 and Nilesh bowled the 19th. One six plus few couple of them got them to 11 and it was 6 in 6. It was getting tense with emotions running high at both sides. We decided to fo with experience and mario decided to bowl the last over. I call it magical over. They had 3 wickets in hand. Still people cannot figure out Mario’s ball. 1st ball dot, 2nd ball bowled, 3rd ball nick and 2 runs. They needed 4 of 3. 4th ball bowled, 5th ball again nick and Sujay in the nick of the time saved and gave 2. Last ball 2 required and bowled! HUL wins by 1 run. We had a stand out batting display from Sujay and a outstanding bowling effort by mario. Both deserved the MOM, but for his crucial wickets at the right time Mario gets the well deserved mom.

U14 SPG batting first at Shivaji Ground were in a strong position declaring their innings at 342/4 in 78 overs. Opening the innings, captain Raj Desmukh played a scintillating knock of 88 runs in mere 77 balls (12 fours, 1 six) which set the positive tone for the innings.

He also got good support from Pratik Konkar (60 runs) as SPG declared their innings with a defendable total on the board.

It was certainly a treat for the spectators at the Vengsarkar Academy in Mahul. Deutsche Bank batting first were in trouble at one point with their scoreboard reading 24/3 and 57/4. In came Sanket at no.6 who reminded us of every T20 batsman right from Brendon Mccullum to AB De Villiers.
Sanket completely changed the game demolishing every bowler’s bowling figures as he went heavy on bowlers right from the 1st ball. Sanket changed the game in the 2nd half as he scored a scintillating 105* facing only 33 balls laced with 8 fours and 10 sixes. It was an innings of pure belligerence and entertainment as he pushed his team to a total of 191/7 in 20 overs.
