It was an evolution and not a revolution when the first ever Test Match was played with a Pink Ball between Australia and New Zealand in November 2015. Since then this bright coloured thing has created a lot of news.
Sagar from Krish Sports Academy, Delhi has taken the initiative to organize the first ever Pink ball cricket tournament in India. Sh. P.N. Memorial Under-19 Pink Ball Cricket Tournament 2016 starts on 15th June, however the entries are open till 20th June. This will be an exciting journey not only for the players and organizers but also for the spectators who are expected to come out in large numbers to watch the game. 30 over matches will be played, with many prizes to be won at the end of the competition. Some of them include; best batsman, best bowler, best fielder and Man of the Match, just to name a few.
Apart from this brilliant concept of Pink Ball cricket tournament, Sagar has been active as a cricket coach and he desires to coach the kids who may not be financially sound, because he understands that these boys have talent in them but due to monetary constraints they are not able to live their dreams. It is indeed a noble deed from this young lad from Delhi. He will be liasing with another coach and together they will try to get sponsorship to help the budding cricketers play the sport. This is a fantastic effort by Sagar to develop cricket in Delhi and also encourage the children who wants to pursue cricket as a career.
Cricketgraph.com wishes Sagar and his team all the very best for the tournament and may he blessed with success for his future endeavours.
Cricket is a sport that selflessly showers the players with joy, happiness, name and fame. It does not expect anything in return. But then there are true cricketers, who, after their playing days, continue to associate themselves with the sport by some or the other means. Chandrashekhar Karmalkar is one such honest server of the sport.
Born on 1st August 1972, Chandrashekhar started playing cricket at the tender age of 13. Soon he saw himself playing for Mumbai U-15 under the able captainship of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. Apart from this, he has represented Thane district in Satkar & Sport Star Trophy and has played Club Cricket in “A” and “B” division tournaments.
Currently he is the coach of two pharma giants; Piramal Enterprises (2008) and Abbott Healthcare (2011). Karmalkar also runs his own cricket coaching academy in Thane by the name of Kwality Sports Club and the practice sessions are conducted at the famous Dadoji Konddev Stadium in Thane. This academy is running successfully for over a decade now. One of the best things about Kwality Sports Club is that it provides free of cost cricket training as well as the otherwise expensive cricket kits to the underprivileged children. It requires a big heart to carry out this noble deed and there is no doubt that Chandrashekhar Karmalkar is the man behind this wonderful concept. This is what we call “giving back to the sport that has given you a lot”
One of his students, Jaideep Pardeshi has not only represented Mumbai U-16, U-19 and U-23 teams but also has been the vice-captain of the U-16 side. Vaibhav Mali is the other student who has represented Mumbai U-19. Last year Vaibhav had made the record fastest century in just 36 balls in MIPL Cricket Tournament at Bhiwandi.
Karmalkar not only trains the physically abled ones but also offers coaching to the ‘special’ players. Mayuresh Sansare, who is a product of Kwality Sports Club represented the Indian team in 2015 for the five nation physically challenged cricket tournament. Karmalkar’s work is worth the weight in gold.
Recently, Kwality Sports Club celebrated its 13th Annual Day at Dadoji Konddev Stadium and the function was graced by dignitaries like Mayur Kadrekar, Santosh Kudalkar and former Mumbai Ranji team player and senior Advocate Mr. Shaligram. The awards in the form of trophies and certificates were given away to the talented players by Mayuresh Kadrekar and Mr.Shaligram respectively. The camp was attended by 25 trainees in the period between November and May.
Chandrashekhar Karmalkar has truly been a gem of a person and his dedication, devotion and determination towards the development of cricket is simply incredible. Let us hope that he continues with this noble deed with the same enthusiasm and intensity. Cricketgraph.com wishes him all the very best in his future endeavours.
Ajanta Pharma locked horns with Reliance Commodities on 28th May at RBI ground, Mumbai in the Champions A final of Dreamz T20 Tournament. Batting first, Ajanta Pharma posted a defendable 137-6 in 15 overs, with few useful contributions from opening bat Prashant (34 runs off 28 balls), no.3 batsman Sushant (25 runs off 27 balls) and middle order bat Dinesh (40 runs off 17 balls). Dinesh was brilliant with the bat as he smacked the bowlers all-round the park. His entertaining knock was a perfect mix of aggression and solidity. Navin was the pick of the bowlers picking up 2-22 in his three overs.
It was a disappointing batting performance from Reliance Commodities as they were bundled out for a paltry 61 in 13.4 overs, losing by a big margin of 76 runs. After shining with the bat, Dinesh rolled his arm over to grab 3-16 in his miserly spell of three overs. Sunil top scored with an unbeaten 21 off 31 balls but was the lone fighter for his team.
Dinesh Nadgeti (40 runs off 17 balls and 3-16 in 3 overs) was declared as the Man of the Match for his match-winning contributions.
