The Telecom Premier League that saw the leading telecom giants locking horns against each other on the cricket field concluded on a high on 5th June, when Airtel took on Idea A at Air India Sports Club, Mumbai in the final match of TPL. Batting first, Airtel posted a mammoth 215 in 10 runs scoring at over an unbelievable 20 runs per over. Jitesh Purabia played a blinder of an innings smashing 91 runs off 30 cherries, including four boundaries and a whopping 10 sixes in his blistering knock. Purabia was simply unstoppable and made a mockery of Idea A’s bowling. Mayank Shirke was the other batsman to contribute with a quick-fire 66 off 27 balls, hitting five boundaries and as many sixes. It was a disastrous outing for Idea A bowlers as they were thrown all around the park. Vikas Sharma and Paresh Shetty picked up one wicket each.

Chasing a magnificent 216 in just 60 balls was always going to be a daunting task for Idea A and it did them no good when they lost both their openers; Vikas Sharma and Paresh Shetty cheaply for 4 and 6 respectively. Rushi Patel was the lone fighter scoring 33 runs off 24 balls. After putting up a solid performance with the bat, Airtel bowlers stepped up to restrict Idea A for a paltry 92-8 in 10 overs. Arif Rakhangi, Kalpesh Mehta and Mayank Shirke bowled well in tandem to account for two scalps apiece. Airtel registered a comprehensive victory against Idea A by a huge 123 runs.

Jitesh Purabia (164 runs in 5 matches; 91 runs off 30 balls in the final) was declared as the Best Batsman as well as the Man of the Match for his scintillating knock and was also awarded for hitting maximum sixes in the tournament. Daiwat Rane (Airtel) won the Best Fielder accolade with Rushi Patel (Idea A, 8 wickets in 5 matches) bagging the Best Bowler prize.

While speaking to cricketgraph.com about TPL, Gayathrie from IBM who was the co-sponser alongwith Giesecke and Devrient, said, “Telcom Premier League seemed to be a good platform for many reasons. At IBM, our constant endeavour is to engage with our stakeholders (employees/customers) on a deeper, human level. Our focus is to delight them with the right experience at the perfect moment to strengthen engagements and nurture the relationship. We (IBM) are always looking for such opportunities and the TPL seemed to be perfect fit where we could take this thought forward and interact with our clients via an informal yet competitive/fun setting”.

TPL was a grand success as it not only brought the big telecom players on a single platform but also encouraged them to showcase their cricketing talent.

The batsmen, the bowlers and the fielders are striving hard to put their best foot forward. The spirit of cricket is at the highest level, and the players are going all out to sink in the happiness of playing this sport. Rushi Patel of Idea is leading with 73 runs from 2 matches at a healthy average of 73, followed by his team-mate Vikas Sharma who is just behind by 2 runs with 71 runs from 2 matches. Abhishek from Vodafone and Subrata Mukherjee from TTSL are not too far away with 70 and 63 runs respectively.

Nowadays cricket is not just about ones and twos, with players like Virat Kohli and AB Devilliers using the long handle, the batsmen in TPL deriving inspiration from these legends, are not afraid to hit the big shots. Rushi Patel (Idea A) has hit a maximum of six sixes in 2 matches, Abhishek (Vodafone) and Mayank Shirke (Bharti Airtel)have four to their names. When it comes to boundaries, Vikas Sharma (Idea A) is leading the pack with nine boundaries, followed by Subrata Mukherjee (TTSL), Abhishek (Vodafone), Abhishek Kaushik (IBM) and Mehul Kamath (IBM) with four boundaries each.

The competition is neck-to-neck among the bowlers, with Shamim Dicholkar (IBM), Mangesh Gharat (Reliance Jio), Rushi Patel (Idea A), Pradeep Jha (TTSL) and Manish Karande (TTSL) stationed at four wickets apiece. It is going to be a tough fight and only time will tell who stands tall to become the leading wicket-taker of the tournament.

Having the best batsmen and best bowler is every captain’s wish, but if he is supported by an electrifying fielder that is the cherry on the cake. Reliance Jio is blessed to have the services of Kamalakar Chavan who is the best fielder with 3 catches.

After looking at individual performances, let us see how teams have fared so far. Vodafone has the highest score of 163-3 against TTSL, whereas Reliance Jio has the lowest total of 71-6 against Bhati Airtel. In the span of two days, there have been some thrilling contests, one of them was between Reliance Jio and IBM, where the former won by four runs. We also had a couple of comprehensive wins; Vodafone thrashing TTSL by 77 runs and Bharti Airtel getting the better of Idea B in a one-sided 10-wicket win.

Let us fasten our seat belts to enjoy the exciting journey of TPL in the coming weekends.

In today’s age, when the telecom companies are fiercely competing with each other to become the no.1 in the market, Mr. Ashutosh of OneWorldCorp came up with something that will give these telecom giants another excuse to get the better of each other. The Telecom Premiere League will be a T10 format, with eight teams competing to win the inaugural championship. While talking to cricketgraph.com, Ashutosh mentioned, “There are cricket competition organized for different fields like banking and financial services, IT, Architecture, but there was nothing for telecom companies.” These telecom giants who work day in and day out to keep us connected with our friends and families definitely deserve some attention on the extra-curricular front.

“The main aim is that the players should forget everything and just sink in the joy of playing the sport”, exclaimed Ashutosh. There are two big sponsors for the event; IBM and Giesecke and Devrient.  Cricketgraph.com interacted with Sachin from Giesecke and Devrient, who seems to be very excited for the tournament commencing from Saturday, 28th May. “There are some attractive prizes for the winner, runner-up, maximum sixes and fours, just to name a few”, averred Sachin. He has experience behind his back for organizing a sport event as he had managed a football match sometime back. “If we can have a football match, why not go for cricket, that is played so widely everywhere in this country”, thought Sachin. The matches will be played on Vengsarkar Cricket Academy ground and Air India ground.

Food accompanied with good looking coloured jerseys will add colour to the tournament. “It is going to be an exciting event, with the introduction of power over, which means the runs scored in the power over will be doubled and added to the score”, added Sachin.

Many people are looking forward to this tournament. Cricketgraph.com wishes all the very best to Ashutosh and Sachin and ofcourse to all the players playing in the tournament. Let’s us hope that this event is a grand success and pray for many such activities in future.
