Hell of a Cricketer: Rohit Singh’s middle order cameo ensures a finals win for Maharashtra C.A in SRCA Trophy’21

Played at JSP Cricket Ground, Ambernath, Maharashtra Cricket Academy opting to bat first were struggling at one stage with their top 3 back in the hut and scoreboard reading 4/3 in 3.1 overs. However, the middle order batters consisting of Siddhesh Gawande (15 runs), Shekhar (27 runs off 15 balls) brought back some momentum.  Coming at no.6, Rohit Khot provided a crucial contribution smashing an unbeaten 34* off 17 balls with 3 sixes to push his team towards a defendable total of 123/10 in 18.3 overs.

SRCA Team in reply could only muster 109/7 in 20 overs with skipper Swapnil Rawool (27* off 29 balls) fighting it out top scoring for his team. The bowlers did a really good job with Kazim coming up with a brilliant spell of 2/13 in 4 overs alongwith a maiden. Apart from him, Gafoor Shaikh, Arib Dolare and Rohit Singh chipped in with a wicket each. 

Maharashtra Cricket Academy with some brilliant team performances throughout the tournament proved worthy of the title “Hell of a Cricket Team” while Rohit with his all-round performances certainly made an impact winning the Hell of a Cricketer Award.
