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.
