Darshan Bhanushali’s 7 wickets stun Hirandani foundation in NL Dalmia Champions League
Darshan Bhanushali (PT Academy)
Into their 2nd League match of the Junior Champions League (Boys under 12 Cricket Tournament) organised by N L Dalmia High School, Pravin Tambe Academy were into a crucial face off with Hiranandani foundation after losing the 1st league match. The plot no.1 of Oval maidan witnessed a weird low scoring match as Hiranandani collapsed badly after winning the toss & electing to bat first.
It was surprising to see Hiranandani collapse in such a quick succession. The team was all out for just 19 runs in 8.1 overs. We have seen brett lee, we have seen shoaib akhtar & we have seen shane bond removing the stumps of the batsman with their sheer pace. We were lucky to witness a similar sight from this talented kid called Darshan bhanushali who was lethal with the bowl. The right arm pacer generated pace and swing which was unplayable for the opposition. The mini pace express returned with amazing bowling figures of 7/5 in 4 overs. What’s more interesting as well as entertaining to the eyes was 6 out of 7 wickets he dealt in clean bowled.
Hiranandani were all out for 19 runs which was chased easily by Pravin Tambe Academy as they won the match by 6 wickets. They lost 4 wickets because they actually gave their lower order batsman a chance to bat. Darshan was adjudged man of the match & his bowling has taken everyone’s notice in the cricketing circles.
Pravin Tambe Academy will be having their next match on 26th & the opposition should be worried about this mini pace express called Darshan for sure.
