It was a final of T20 match, where all 20 wickets fell. It was a T20 tournament where 170 could not be crossed even once. It was an event where bowlers ruled. Monsoon Trophy 2015 concluded with Indian Travelport bowlers getting the better of DTU XI bowlers as they emerged victorious by a margin of 48 runs in what could be termed as a comparatively low scoring final.
Among those bowlers, there was one bowler who stood out- Nitin Tomar. He rattled through the batting line up of DTU XI capturing 5 wickets and helping his team win the title.
Batting first, Indian Travelport were all out for a respectable 131 runs in 20 overs. Aashu Negi top scored with 28 while Gaurav Chaudhary scored 24 runs. Rest of the contributions were not noteworthy but they did gave the team something to fight for. Harsh Vikaram and Rahul Meena captured 2 wickets each while Rubel scalped a wicket for DTU XI.
Chasing a modest total to clinch the title, the strong batting line up of DTU were in for a surprise. Only 3 bowlers were required to destroy DTU innings as they folded for just 83 runs in the 16th over. Only Shivam Duggal managed to score 21 runs but the rest of the team couldn’t offer any resistance.
Nitin Tomar captured 5, Gaurav Chaudhary 3 while Atul Grover scalped 2 wickets for Indian Travelport.
