Some knocks remain etched in your minds for a long time, remember Sachin getting out on 99 vs Pakistan in the 2nd ODI at Chandigarh where Umar Gul dismissed him while Sachin tried taking a run? Well, Rohit Rudra also played a similar sort of an innings where he and his team mates may remember his knock of 99 for a long time. Played at the MB Union CC, Cross Maidan, Goregaon SC won the toss and decided to put MB Union to bat first.
Their decision was quite spot on as they restricted MB Union CC to just 147runs all out in 37 overs. Prathamesh Golatkar (52) and Rakesh Naik (32) fought hard to resurrect their innings back but Goregaon bowlers did a really good job. The standout bowlers was definitely this left arm spinner Prakash Solanki who bagged 7wkts in his spell of 18overs while giving 68runs.

Opener Rohit Rudra (99runs, 10fours, 5sixes) fell just 1run short of what could have been an amazing ton as he batted really well hitting some glorious cricketing shots en-route his 105ball stay at the crease. It was off spinner Sandeep Naik who was the perpetrator for Rohit’s dismissal at 99 as he castled Rohit with a stumping. The rest of the batsman chipped in with 20’s and 30’s which eventually helped them to win the match on 1st innings.
