PJ Hindu Gymkhana wins as Adhvaryu Bros. fire together alongiwith Madhav Kotak’s all-round show in the Gannon Dunkerley T20 Tournament ‘18

Played vs Bombay Gymkhana on their own turf, Bombay Gymkhana won the toss & decided to put PJ Hindu Gymkhana to bat first with an aim of restricting them to a low total.

However, PJ Hindu Gymkhana did a fairly decent job batting first notching up 156/4 in 20overs. The openers gave a decent start with Madhav Kotak smashing a solid 30 while it was the talented Megh Adhvaryu who has piled a lot of runs in the longer formats this season showing his skills in T20’s too smashing a superlative 50 off 36balls. It was a hard working innings which included lots of running between the wickets with only 4boundaries. Saurabh Bahutule who came at no.4 also batted well scoring 43runs off 34deliveries taking their team to cross the 150run mark.

Defending a total of 157 which is many a times chaseable, PJ Hindu Gymkhana did a terrific job with the ball as they restricted Bombay Gymkhana boys to a paltry total of 54runs all out in 13.2 overs. Paresh Shah (2/6 in 3overs) and Madhav Kotak(3/19 in 4overs) ripped apart the top order while Dwij Adhvaryu cleaned up the lower order with a match winning bowling spell of 4/14 in 3.2 overs. All the bowlers collectively bowled tight while taking wickets in almost every over which helped them win the match by 102runs.

PJ Hindu Gymkhana dominated right from the start while Madhav Kotak was declared ‘man of the match’ for his all-round show. It is always good to see two brothers playing together as Dwij and Megh were equally impressive in the match. Playing together for the same team, surely they must be getting a feeling of Flower brothers or the Pathan Brothers!
