4. Tushar Pendeshwar(RHB)-5/6 in Dreamz T20 Tournament ‘18
All-Rounders are always an asset to the game and especially in its shortest format-the T20 where they play a big role. A quality all-rounder in the playing XI can make a world of a difference and Tushar just gave that quality all-round performance helping his team win the match almost single handedly.
GEP Solutions batting first were restricted to 96/9 in 20overs as most of the batsman failed to convert their starts. Tushar from FSS bowled one of the best T20 spells giving away only 6runs in 4overs of a T20 game while scalping 5wkts.

An easy win was on the cards for Juhu Vile Parle Team but Shreyans Bogar from Superstar changed the script in a matter of few overs.

2. Pratik Sargade (Spinner)- 12/64 in Kanga League ‘18
