Some Snaps from the event-
Some of the kids like Ayush Jethwa who has been a run machine and a genuine all-rounder has improved leaps and bounds in cricket. Ayush has been supremely consistent in the last one year and so were the other kids.
Yash Kripal who was amongst the winners was recently one of the highest wicket takers in Kalpesh Koli Tournament with best bowling figures of 8/24 is another promising player who looks all set for a great journey in cricket. Raj Desmukh, Chris Britto who once took 8/8 in Giles Shield, Atharva Nigare who scored a fantastic 180 in Harris Shield to Aman Manihar who has been a wicket taking machine in all the MCA Tournaments past one year are all promising prospects rightly picked up by the jury.
All-rounders like Umar Khan & Atharva Bhosale, Mohit Tanwar who has been one of the most solid batsman scoring runs in crucial matches to wicket-keeper Owais Shaikh who is not only a genuine wicket-keeper but a handy batsman at the middle order who has produced some stellar knocks to consistent run scorers like Harsh Salunkhe and Sahil Jadhav, these kids have performed exceedingly well and Cricketgraph has been fortunate to track them right from their beginning always encouraging their journey and perfomances.
Before the awards night at evening, there was also a fantastic session of drill and practice along with personal advise to all the players from Sanjay Manjrekar. The bowlers and batsman gave their best to impress and Sanjay Manjrekar gave crucial inputs on technique to career building to working on fitness alongwith the jury.
It was a great initiative by HT Times and a day to remember for the young kids!
