Fifers for Pacers Ravindra Solanki and Krutik Hanagawadi in Police Shield Tournament’21

In what turned out to be a low scoring thriller, two evenly poised top division teams took on each other at NCC Cross Maidan with CCI after being put to bat first were all out for 177 runs in 63.4 overs. Opener Arya Satpute top scored with 88 runs off 191 balls smashing 12 fours and a six. Fast bowler Ravinder Solanki turned out to be lethal with the ball cleaning up CCI’s top order with his disciplined spell of fast bowling. Ravinder returned with bowling figures of 5/55 in 20 overs including 2 maidens.

Defending a low total, the pressure was certainly more on the CCI team but their in-form pacemen Krutik Hanagawadi continued his excellent form with the ball backing it up with a yet another fifer taking 5/72 in 14 overs including 3 maidens. National CC in reply were restricted to 170/9 in 41 overs wherein they were declared winners on the basis of net run rate.
