Middle Order Batsman Mehboob Shaikh blasts a 68 ball Ton to derail John Bright in the Kanga League ‘18

Young wicket-keeper batsmen are always exciting to watch and Mehboob Shaikh is one of those young promising wicket keeper batsmen who is making a mark for himself in Mumbai Cricket.

Khar Gymkhana after being made to bat first were hardly affected as they notched up a healthy total declaring their innings at 258/4 (D) in 37 overs.  Gaurav Suryavanshi at no.3 scored a gritty 69 while Mehboob who came at no.4 went on to score a swashbuckling ton hitting 105* off mere 68 balls. Mehboob took on the bowlers covering almost every corner of the ground as he smashed 15 fours and 3 sixes in what was a truly entertaining knock.

John Bright in return were all out for 85 runs as left-arm spinner Ajay Mishra bowled a match winning spell of 5/15 in 6.5 overs.  It was Mehboob’s brilliant batting and Ajay’s fifer which helped Khar Gymkhana win the match on 1^st innings lead.
