The T20 KNIGHTS organized by ONEWORLD OF SPORTS is the first and only corporate cricket tournament played under lights giving the teams a chance to play T20 matches in a setting generally seen only on TV and in international quality grounds. The 1^st edition of the tournament kicked off in late February 2015 with 6 teams competing for a chance to be crowned the KNIGHTS – Capital First, Johnson & Johnson, Motilal Oswal, Rave Technologies, IDFC & Richmond Group. After 6 weeks of non-stop action, J&J and Motilal Oswal had managed to setup a mouth watering final which everyone hoped would produce a match worthy of it’s stature.

And no one who was at the ground yesterday, left disappointed – though one must say that for a brief half an hour preceding the scheduled time, the ground had been soaked in sudden downpour which had caught all of Mumbai unawares and unprepared. Fortunately due to some quick work by the ground staff who pulled out pitch covers, not much damage was done once the showers receded – the umpires duly made a pitch inspection and due to a 30 minute delay, decided to reduce the match to a 17 over affair.

J&J who had been put into bat might have felt hard done by the rain gods and Motilal could not be blamed if they sang the paeans of mother nature – a decent wicket aided by some moisture would surely give the bowlers an edge under the lights. However such things are generally the stuff that sports commentators and analysts thrive on – cricketers who have to face the music on the field often sing to a different tune. On this day, Abhishek Angane from J&J stepped up to the plate to face the first delivery and make this match all his own. For 15 overs from that delivery, one was witness to the most brutal display of power batting – scoringat a pace which would put even Sehwag to shame, Abhishek plundered 11 boundaries and 8 sixes – scoring 113 runs off 51 deliveries – conceding just 10 dot balls. In the shadow of such power hitting the rest of the J&J batting simply had to just stand on one side and watch – Motilal at one stage actually captured 3 wickets 16 balls – but No.5 Sheikh stabilized the loose end allowing Abhishek free rein. The score at the end of regulation time was 185/4 and Motilal Oswal facing a massive task to try and win this title.

Motilal immediately found themselves on the backfoot as that man again – Abhishek Angane – not satisfied with his batting efforts – ran in to deliver the 2^ndover and snapped up Khaire and Uttekar off successive deliveries to leave Motilal re-assessing all plans with score reading 16/2. Deepak and Jinny however dropped anchor and gradually re-built the innings from there to bring the target under 100 at the halfway stage (score 88/3 in 9 overs). However trying to force the pace, Jinny stepped out off the last ball before drinks and was stumped by Sanket – a crucial wicket at the most inopportune moment for Motilal. 98 runs of 8 overs with 7 wickets in hand and a betting person would be giving long odds to Motilal but once again they found a new hero in Mandar Poipkar, a blitzkrieg effort of 49 off just 23 deliveries and suddenly the equation was not so improbable after all. The J&J fielders were testy and nervous – nothing exemplified this more than a difficult catch at long on which the fielder not only misjudged but also sent the ball soaring over the ropes for a 6. As the scores galloped the noise from the Motilal camp became a cacophony but there was still one final twist left to the match. Just when the match seemed to be slipping from J&J’s grasp they managed to strike hard and fast – M Salvi bowled a fullish one which Deepak misjudged and was bowled with the score on 128. Followed by 2 quick wickets in the 14^th over of Amit Dassani the captain and Darshit Zaveri (Motilal’s first match centurion) out for a duck and 3^rdwicket of Vishal Shelar in the 15^th over and Motilal was surely looking down the barrel with score at 143/7 in the 15^th over and 43 runs to get in 14 deliveries. Mandar made a valiant effort including 3 huge sixes which offered some hope but a required rate of 3 runs per delivery was always going to be too much. Motilal eventually closed at 166/8 in 17 overs having made a valiant effort but always losing wickets at crucial moments and always looking at a mountain never a hill.

J&J were crowned the first KNIGHTS of the 2014-15 season while Motilal promised to be back the next time.

The man of the finals was an easy decision – Abhishek Angane (J&J) 113(51b) and 2/33.

He came in to bat with his side precariously placed at 59 for five. Chasing a target of 152 set by Team Bhimani, Sanghvi smashers team and supporters were silenced by the quick fall of wickets after a good start by their openers with Bharat and Mukesh of Team Bhimani sharing 2 wickets each to not only put the brakes but to wrest the initiative from Team Bhimani. Subhash Bafna played an innings which he too will never forget. Initially playing a waiting game he nudged the ball in the gaps to pick up singles and twos and along with Bharat C built a good partnership. After that hard work it was stroke play brilliance of Subhash , Sanghvi smashers were right back in the match. Subhash 50 runs was the major factor and also a useful contribution by Bharat C with runs. But once Subhash fell with 15 more needed, Team Bhimani ripped through with 3 quick wickets. The atmosphere in the ground was electrifying. The crowd and the supporters of both the teams were on the edge of their seats and so were all the sponsors, guests and dignitaries. The ninth wicket pair put on 10 runs and Sanghavi Smashers won by 2 wickets sparking a huge roar from the Sanghvi Smashers supporters. Team Bhimani fought till the end but won the hearts of one and all.

Kalpesh with 46 runs and Capt Kanti V. with 43 runs were their main contributors.

The icing on the cake was apart from Trophies, individual prizes, it was the cash reward of Rs. 111000 to the winning team (Sanghvi Smashers) from BSA and RSBL along with Rs. 51000 (Team Bhimani)for runners up.

This tournament has come to stay. With its successful organising it has given the BSA committee members enough food for thought to make it bigger in the coming times. I am sure they will.

Best Bowler – Bharat Mehta – Team Bhimani

Best Fielder – Kiran of Sanghvi smashers.

There was a time when players hanged their boots after a particular age (around 35 years) because it was a almost a benchmark sort of assumption for a player to give it up at that age. Not so these days. Today cricket has gone to new heights with players age not a bar but his ability to play, enthusiasm and energy has given the so called veterans chance to come back and play. This was the case with Bhinmal Senior league which began on April 6th 2015. Organised by Bhinmal Sports Association, the tournament was a ideal platform for all the so called seniors to prove that they have enough left in them. Four teams took part (Ratnakar Slammers, BVardhan warriors, Team Bhinmal and Sanghvi Smashers took part) in the 20 overs format brought the best amongst all of the players.

Speaking to the president of Bhinmal Sports Association, Mr. Shailesh Sanghvi who said the idea was to give the seniors members a chance to play again and was buoyed by the enthusiasm of 35 plus age players who played a exhibition match in Feb 2015. The average age is around 40 years but by no means they looked veterans. The best part of the tournament was the Contribution of the sponsors with Neumec group as the Title sponsors and with various co-sponsors and various other sponsors sponsoring the various individual awards and gifts.

Another notable feature of the event was the crowd who thronged in during various league matches. They all came and cheered their team with energy which helped in boosting the morale of the players.

The players from all the teams gave in their best, their agility to field, running between the wickets and most importantly never looked to give it up in the hot sun, and with the scores always in three figure mark they have proved age is not a barrier to play, its their passion which kept them going.

Kudos to the entire Bhinmal Sports Association committee members who have done a fabulous job in organising the tournament, it was the first step towards what looks like an on going affair in the coming times. Wishing the entire committee of Bhinmal Sports Association all the very best in the coming times.

Two teams to make it to the first ever Bhinmal Senior League cricket were Sanghvi Smashers and Team Bhimani .

Rarely one would see this level of reoccurrence in a cricket match in consecutive years and that too in the final of the same tournament and between the same two teams.What’s more! The same bowler picking up a five wicket haul and single handedly ensuring his team’s title victory. It was literally a repeat of 2014 finals.

Riding on second consecutive five-for from Abhishek Vats, separated by a year and two finals, Swami Shradhanand College successfully defended their DU Inter College title against Aryabhatta College. He was my man of the match for his superb bowling display. He created havoc in the early part of Aryabhatta’s innings, from which they were unable to come out till the very end.

The venue was NSIT, Dwarka. This ground was quite big when compared with other DU venues. As it rained the previous night, the weather turned windy, making the toss all the more important. The pitch had lot to offer in the morning. Shradhanand were lucky this time and expectedly, opted to field first. Both teams matched each other man by man so it was really difficult to predict a winner before the toss.

It was on Aryabhatta’s batsmen to see out the initial overs and build their innings. Exactly the opposite happened. The fiery opening spells from Shradhanand new ball bowlers Abhishek Vats and Raunaq Dabas had half the batting back in the hut when the scoreboard read 32. Aryabhatta camp was down and out when Shivank (38 runs, 56 balls, 1×4, 1×6) with supporting hands from Manish (10 runs, 40 balls) and PulkitNarang (26 runs, 36 balls, 2×4) bailed them out by dealing in singles and doubles. Aryabhatta’sinnings ended for 117 runs in the 35^th over. Abhishek Vats took a five wicket haul, while Raunaq and Aakarshit Gomez shared a couple of wickets each.

The writing was very much on the wall after the first innings. But Aryabhatta boys were a tough nut to crack and Shradhanand were very well aware of this fact. Throughout the tournament they have been really difficult to get away. They blew away SGGSCC for 63 in the semi-finals. They did have the confidence to at least make a match out of their low score and avenge the defeat of 2014. And the way they bowled, it was of no surprise to anyone that despite their low total, the match entered the last 5 overs.

Shradhanand batsmen seemed in no hurry to overhaul the target. But Aryabhatta captain bowled an inspired spell, and had Shradhanand on back foot with 5 down for 64 in 18^th over. But after that they had loosened the grip as Shamsher Yadav (27 runs) and Deepak Khatri (35 runs, 35 balls, 3×4, 1×6) milked the bowlers and got their team closer to the target. Deepak finished the game in style with a six over mid-wicket of the bowling of Shivank. Pulkit, Rajesh and Yogesh shared 2 wickets each.

Aryabhatta’s Journey:

Group Stage: Defeated SSCBS, Zakhir Hussain, SGTB Khalsa

Semifinal: Defeated SGGSCC

Shradhanand’s Journey:

Group Stage: Defeated SGGSCC, Venkateswara, Ambedkar

Semifinal: Defeated SGTB Khalsa

Brief Scores:

Aryabhatta: 117 all out in 34.1 overs (Shivank 38, Pulkit 26, Vats 5/32)

Shradhanand: 119/6 in 30.2 overs (Deepak 35, Shamsher 27, Yogesh 2/26, Pulkit 2/28)

Winning Team of DU Inter College_Shradhanand

When one hears the outcome of a match which ends without a thrill, the general assumption is it to be a non exciting match. But as a player and team its soothing especially for the winning team, for behind the easy result is a disciplined and dedicated effort to make it easy. Sports Gurukul captain guessed it correctly at the spin of the coin against Tata AIG in the Dreamz and Trophy T20 quarter final match at John Bright Pitch at Azad Maidan but comes Satya into the act and to justify the decision of Sports Gurukul to Put Tata AIG in to bat first. His rich haul of 5 wickets was proof enough of the same as Tata AIG could not cross the three figure mark. Except for Nitin’s valiant 30 of 39 runs none of the other Tata AIG batsman had any answer to Satya’s excellent spell of bowling. 5 wickets in a T20 format of the game is as good as a 10 wicket haul in a Test match. Tata AIG were bundled out at 93 in 17.3 overs.

Some chasing small targets could be dicey but Sports Gurukul batsman ensured no such thing as they crossed the line with 7 wickets to spare in 15.1 over with a brisk 50 off 53 balls from Prasad. Satya had his say too with 12 off 14 balls.

Sports Gurukul did not have to use their entire armoury but had a good outing for their next semi final clash. Its these kind of performances that lifts the spirit of the overall team. Could be a bigger battle awaits Sports Gurukul in the semi finals but for the quarter finals three cheers for them.

For his dominating show, Satya was declared the Man of the

It came to the 4 of the very best in Axis bank. These 4 had an unfinished agenda to be completed but more than that was the curiosity as to who would lift the APL 2015 trophy.

April 5th, 2015 had another question thrown to the 4 teams as to what would be the weather conditions on that day. The wet day on March 1st were still afresh in their memories where not a single ball was bowled on that day. Two of the strong contenders Kalinga Warriors ,Mumbai Axis Rockets, Chennai Circle of smiles have always featured in the last four with Nagpur Navigators joining the fray.

It was slightly cloudy on that day but in no time it was bright and sunny. Even the weather gods could not resist any delay on the proceedings.

First up Nagpur Navigators won the toss and put Mumbai Axis Rockets on a damp and difficult wicket. Rockets were off to a slow and steady start and understandably so as they lost 2 quick wickets with the skipper Abhishek leading the way. Ravi Shinde showed why he is a class act with an unbeaten knock of 45 on a not a easy track. Varun chipped in with 2 wickets and Mumbai Axis Rockets ended up with 113 runs in 15 overs. Amar Padhye reckoned it was enough. The start was electrifying for the visitors. Varun’s blistering strokes all over the park gave the hosts some hiccups. It was left to the spinners Pratap to provide the breakthrough and he claimed 2 scalps. But the man who turned it on for Mumbai Axis Rockets was Mr. V.Srinivasan. Bowling a tight line and length with his off spinners and no room allowed to the batsman, Nagpur Navigators innings started to fall. The ninth wicket pair (Kumar and Nilesh) put on 25 runs but the visitors innings were stopped at 101. MumbaiAxis Rockets emerged winners by 12 runs and Man of the Match Varun Shrikhande’s knock of 37 and 2 wickets went in vain.

It was another strong contender Kalinga warriors who took on Chennai Circle of Smiles in the second semi finals. Chennai circle of smiles lost 2 quick wickets at the start but it was that great partnership between tall, elegant Vijaygovind and the skipper Shyamsunder rescued the Chennai team, while Vijay govind (40 runs)was superb with his strokes it was the skipper shyam sunder (40 runs)who won laurels for his batting. Getting a good stride forward, those powerful flicks through midwicket were admired by many on the ground. It was Biranchi who first applied the brakes on the Chennai batting line up with his flat and fast off spins but Dibyesh stole the show with his 3 wickets for 19 runs. Chennai circle of smiles manged 113 runs in 20 overs. Kalinga warriors openers enjoyed the outing at the centre with Anshuman 32 runs and Manoranjon 40 NO batted as if they had all the time in the world. Chennai managed to get both the openers but Kalinga warriors have enough of firepower in their batting line up. Shivaprasad and Parthasarthy with 14 not out and 18 not out ensured the last years champions are yet again in the finals.

Chennai Circle of smiles captain acknowledged they lost to a better team.

The stage was set for the royal finale. Hosts Mumbai Axis Rockets and Visitors Kalinga Warriors had one point of agenda. In fact two of the very best in Axis Bank.

It was a good toss to win for Mumbai Axis Bank who opted to bat first and skipper Subrat of Kalinga warriors was all smiles he reckoned it was a good toss to lose as they wanted to bowl first. The visitors stunned the hosts with 3 quick wickets and with the score reading 21 for 3 against a very good bowling attack, Mumbai Axis Rockets needed stability which was provided by Anand Sharma (23 runs) and Pratap (36 runs). Once again it was Dibyesh with 2 wickets, Biranchi with 2 and Anshuman with one helped the visitors restrict the hosts to 133 runs in 20 overs.

Any chance of Mumbai Axis rockets making inroads were negated by opener Anshuman ( 44 runs). But it was the batting of Parthasarthy which left one and all stunned. Playing an innings according to the need, he firstly got himself in and then launched on the Mumbai Axis rockets attack later on with some breathtaking shots. He finished with an unbeaten 53 and full marks to Shivaprasad (32 Not out) for supporting him. It was an easy 8 wicket win for Kalinga warriors reaching the target in 15.5 overs and most importantly retained the trophy. Subrat’s team made it two out of two.

Chandrashekhar and Pratap picked one wicket each for the hosts.

The 2015 edition proved that Kalinga warriors have enough of firepower in their batting and bowling line up. Their dominance in the last 2 years speaks volumes of the same. The rest of the teams will have to come up with something extraordinary to challenge them in the next edition. Until then we need to wait.

Congratulations to the Kalinga Warriors team. Also to the organising committee fromAxis Bank for their efforts on the event.Great Show.

The season 5 of the Jolly Premier League 2015 had already kicked off last week and the teams met yet again to play the league and final matches. What added the spice to the tournament was the lush green ground surrounded by various trees, railway, and of course the gymkhana on one side. If this was not enough, it was telecast LIVE in Rajesh Hathway Cable across Mumbai. 5 matches were played to decide the semi finals spot to be played on April 12th and also the finals on the same day.

Final Match Report

Akash Seth’s brilliant knock of 35 from just 23 balls set the tone of the match as Orange Spartans defeated Sanghavi XI in the final of Jolly Premier League held at Ghatkopar Jolly Gymkhana. He was fittingly adjudged man of the match for his match winning knock that included 6 hits to the fence.

Sanghavi XI won the toss and chose to bat first in 10 overs a side contest. Batsmen are generally not expected to settle in an innings of just 60 balls. Only 2 batsmen made major contributions in Sanghavi’s innings as they scored 87 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. Opener Nishank scored 29 off 21 balls with 2 fours and a six and kept the scoreboard ticking. But it was no. 3 Aditya who really took the charge as he hammered Spartans bowlers for 41 runs in just 20 balls with 3 hits over the boundary rope. The nest highest contribution was of extras that amounted to 10. Rest of the batting just fell like nine pins. Spartans bowler Jitesh grabbed 3 wickets giving away just 5 runs in his quota of 2 overs. Excellent figures by T-10 standrards.

Sanghavi bowler Jinesh picked up 2 wickets but could not prevent his team from losing the game and the trophy.

Star India and Accenture Consulting faced off for the Championship Title rights in the finals of the T20 Master’s Cup Edition 4 organized by ONEWORLD of SPORTS. The T20 Master’s Cup series of tournaments are one of the most prestigious cricket series for Corporates in Mumbai with a history dating back to 2009 and featuring some of the best cricketing grounds in the city. The 4th edition of the 2014-15 series saw 12 teams – Walt Disney , Media on, Deutsche bank, IDFC, Exim bank, Rave Tech, Axis risk consulting , Motilal Oswal , Richmond , DWS, Star and Accenture and after some tough and exciting cricket in both the league and knockout rounds, Accenture and Star India were the final 2 standing. The finals were held at the scenic Dilip Vengsarkar Foundation Cricket Academy at Mahul.

What a cracker of a match. An expected finale finish. Just when you think that the game is tilting towards one team, the balance shifts and is not restored till the third last ball of the match is bowled, which is a wide! And that is how Star TV won the match and the Mastercup edition 4. This was a match for brave hearts. The number of impact players in both sides and “never-say-die” attitude is what made it a perfect finish to the tournament.

Accenture went to bat first and recovered remarkably from a slow start to end with a very healthy 154 on the board in their allotted 20 overs losing 7 batsmen in the process. Most of the top and middle order batsmen contributed to the score but it required a Mukesh special to provide a much needed boost to Accenture innings. Mukesh hammered Star TV bowlers for 39 runs in just 20 balls with three hits over the fence. Opener Siddharth scored a valuable 36. Star TV bowler Pritish picked up two wickets whereas Manish, Naik and Randhir shared a wicket each.

Pritish dudwadkar man of the finals 39(30) and 2 wickets

After restricting Accenture to a modest total, Star TV went in with a strategy of saving the wickets early on and attack in the second half of the chase. However, Accenture had other plans. Star lost a wicket each on the first ball of 4,5,6 and 7th overs and were left reeling at 35/4 with little hope of saving the match and lifting the cup. However things changed after the drinks for Star as Balvinder and Pritish clobbered 32 runs in the next 3 overs. Balvinder was caught out for an excellent 35 off just 20 balls but not before he had injected a new life into the match.

Chants of “arrey bhaiya chootey lagan” and “ganpati bappa morya” were getting louder in the Star camp as only 55 were required off 46 balls.
It was down to 15 of 12 and then 9 of 6 and suddenly the match had somehow conspired to build a pressure cooker situation with only the 2 umpires in the center displaying a serene calm. With 4 runs off off the first 3 deliveries, 5 was required off the next 3 when a routine coverdrive somehow managed to elude a diving Accenture fielder and find the boundary ropes. 1 run, 2 deliveries and 2 wickets as Nilesh from Accenture perhaps hoped for a magical 2 wickets – alas the delivery itself was declared a wide as Nilesh put everything into the delivery but missed the line.

It was the opening match of DGRS cricket challenge cup played between Raheja and Dindoshi Sports Club (DSC), wherein DSC won the toss and elected to bat first. What happened after the toss was unimaginable ! The imposing batsman from DSC, Ajay Mahale left everyone awestruck. He scored 105* in just 47 balls scoring fours and sixes at will and hitting the ball at every corner of the ground. Pradeep also joined Ajay in the attack and scored a quickfire 40* off 13 balls. Ajay and Pradeep recorded a successful partnership of 62 in 22 balls to end the innings at a massive total of 198 in 20 overs.

With such huge totals to chase the batting side either crumbles or emerges out on the winning side. One would expect DSC team to be a bit complacent however that wasnt the case and a disciplined bowling by Nilesh P and Sameer placed DSC on the winning side.

The day belonged to Ajay Mahale and everyone bowed to his powerful performance.

Brief Scores

DSC – 198/5 in 20 overs; Ajay Mahale – 105* (47), Pradeep 40*(13)

Raheja Team :- 110 / all out ; Nilesh P – (4-16-1) and Sameer (4-35-3)

Match report as discussed with Dinesh Mhatre

It was an overall team effort as well with both batsmen and bowlers chipping in individually to contribute to the victory.

CMI won the toss and chose to bat first. The opening stand lasted for mere 3 balls as Yatin Shinde failed to protect his wickets against Ravish. But it was the excellent 80 run stand between Girish and Abhijit in approx. 9 overs that restored the momentum of the innings. CMI batsmen maintained a good run rate throughout and eventually scored 154 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Anup and Rohan also chipped in with quick fire 33 and 22 respectively. Extras also amounted to 22. Indus Tower bowler Kiran snapped 2 wickets in his quota of 4 overs.

The total was competitive but achievable. But Indus Towers could not keep up with the tempo and ran out of overs in their chase that required a run rate of just below 8. Opener Ravish top scored with 27 and Johnson chipped in with 25 but lack of support from rest of the batting did them in. CMI bowlers did a commendable job in restricting the opposition to 120. Abhijit and Nishantpicked 2 wickets each. As many as four other bowlers shared a wicket each.

Abhijit Babardesai was adjudged man of the match for his superlative efforts with both bat and ball.

Brief Scores: CMI: 154/7 in 20 overs (Abhijit 38, Girish 37, Kiran 2/26)

Indus Towers: 120/8 in 20 overs (Ravish 27, Johnson 25, Abhijit 2/24, Nishant 2/15)
