After the rain affected delay in conducting the semi-finals, the much awaited semi-final this began at the MR Vivekananda School in Dwarka between Sonnet Club & MRV Academy. MRV Academy who have been one of the better and powerful teams of the tournament were toppled by the talented boys of Sonnet club in a low scoring affair.
Batting first, Sonnet Club were all out for 91 runs which wasn’t the best of the scores to defend in a semi-final. MRV Academy did a great job with the ball as they restricted the opposition to a low total. Rahul Bagh was the highest scorer for Sonnet with a fighting 30 but lacked support from the other end while Laksh Sehrawat (3/4) & Himanshu Vashishtha ( 3/11) took 6wkts together while conceding only 15 runs which did most of the damage to the Sonnet’s batting line up.
Chasing 92 should not be the toughest of tasks and especially for MRV boys who have performed well throughout the tournament but as we say the luck favors the brave as Sonnet bowlers gave their best and restricted MRV to 80/all-out where in Yuvraj Rathi was the highest scorer with 25. Aaryan Vashisht with 3/15 & Yash Chaidhary with 3/20 did the job for Sonnet as they cleaned up the MRV’s batting line up taking crucial wickets at the right time.
With this win, Sonnet Club win the semi-finals and enter into the finals of the tournament while Aaryan Vashisht was declared ‘man of the match’. Cricketgraph congratulates the winning team and also wishes luck for the finals while appreciates the tough fight given by both the teams.

Some players start giving signs of a promising future right from their early days & the very young Pratham Gosain is one such kid whose knock showed he can make it big in cricket in the days to come.
Held at the MRV Sector 13 in Dwarka, it was a match between two promising teams namely DIS Academy & RRG (Rohtak Road Gymkhana) where RRG batted first and displayed their batting power like no other team in the tournament smashing as many as 358 runs in 30 overs. It was a tremendous display of batting and especially their right-handed batsman Pratham Gosain who scored a brutal century of 124 runs coming off just 74 balls. Pratham counter attacked the bowlers from the word go & hit 17 boundaries and 5 sixes in his entertaining knock which took the game away from DIS Academy. Shresth Yadav also impressed one and all with his promising hundred (105) further helping their team total to cross a record 350run mark in 30 overs.

Taksham tournament has certainly become a breeding ground for youngsters to showcase their talent as we have witnessed some great individual performances so far. One of those performances also include leg-spinner Pawan who displayed a great artistry with his spin bowling at such a raw and young age.
Batting first, Young Boys(Pelican) were all out for 93, thanks to some great bowling. Not a single batsman could convert their 10’s and 20’s into a substantial big score and that was the major reason the young boys crumbled. On the other hand, we also can’t ignore superb bowling by the sehwag academy boys and especially this kid called Pawan Bidawa who impressed one and all with some stunning bowling figures of 6/10 with his right arm leg spin.
In reply, Sehwag Academy chased down the score comfortably with the loss of just 2wkts. Lucky Mishra scored a free flowing 59 while in-form Jr. Sehwag(Aryavir) remained unbeaten on 25*. Sehwag academy won the match by 8wkts and Pawan Bidawa was declared ‘man of the match’. Cricketgraph congratulates pawan & the whole team as well as wishes them luck for their future encounters.

Played at the MRV School, Sector 13 in Dwarka, it was a competition between two big teams namely MRV academy & Sehwag Academy as both the teams are competitive. On a track which was supportive for bowlers, Sehwag Academy which batted first scored 84/10 in 25 overs which was not a good score to defend. The team was all-out for a low total and thanks to some tight bowling by MRV & especially right-arm leg spinner Vivek Das who completely bamboozled the batsman with his effective leg spinners. Vivek came up with envious bowling figures of 5/21 which eventually restricted Sehwag Academy to just 84 runs.
