The boy who has scored 9 centuries last season, the boy who has started with a tremendous form in this season too. Yes we are talking about this 14yr old Jash Ganiga who has time and again impressed us with his effortless batting. Jash has definitely proved that he possesses the temperament as well as the right amount of aggression with the willow which will help in progress in Cricket.
One of his recent matches was between IES English School and Rajrani Malhotra Vidyalaya on 5th October at United Cricketers ground where in IES won the toss and elected to bat first. Batting first, IES scored a mammoth 187/1 in 15 overs. Thanks to this 14yr old prodigy who scored a brutal century smashing 103* off mere 54balls. Jash attacked the bowlers at will as he smashed 17fours and a six enroute his unbeaten century which came at a strike rate of 190.74. Right-handed Jash took on the bowlers effortlessly
as he also got good support from his opening partner Anuraag Nair who also scored a well made 43 off 26balls(4fours, 1 six).
Chasing 188 in 15overs, RMV school were bundled out for a record lowest score of just 3runs. Yes you heard that right! From the bowling side, the destroyer in chief was their right-arm medium pacer Om Vadher who took 5wkts/for 1run in just 2.4 overs(1 maiden). What’s more Om Vadher took 2wkts in his very 1st over followed by a superb hat trick in his 2nd over reminding us of Irfan Pathan who did the same thing on a international stage vs Pakistan in a test. IES English school won the match by 184 runs and it was definitely Jash and Om who stole the hearts of many with their impressive performances. Jash definitely seems to be in a great form as he scored a solid 112 just before this hundred vs Club of Maharashtra in Pune and followed it up with this 54ball ton and a 76 in the 3rd match! Cricketrgaph congratulates Jash and Om while wishes all the boys luck for a great season in cricket ahead.

Left-arm spinners are always special as they are amongst the rare species in cricket but it’s good to see so many left-arm spinners progressing in this year’s kanga. One of the most impressive spinners this season has been Atish who has taken back to back 5wkt hauls since last 2weeks. A week before this, Atish had taken a 6wkt haul(6/22) and this time again he comes back with another 5wkt haul against Ours CC.
