Prolific Bhupen Lalwani smashes 11th ton of the season in the U23 Madhav Mantri Tournament’19

Mahul Center after opting to bat first were off to a solid start with Anees (37) & Bhupen putting on a good opening stand. Bhupen as usual known to convert his good starts into hundreds went on to play a brilliant innings of 150 runs in 226 balls (13 fours, 5 sixes). It was a knock of a man in form as some of the shots which he smashed were simply surreal. 11 hundreds in a span of 5-6 months is a big feat to achieve as he that’s almost the highest number of tons as well as runs amongst the current players in his age category. Atharva’s 70 at the middle order further lended a base as Mahul Center reached a total of 366/10 in 98 overs.

Nalasopara Center despite a top order collapse posted 352 runs thanks to two brilliant tons by Satyalaksh Jain (105) and Pratik Patle (122) as both the batters stitched a massive partnership saving their team from an embarrassing defeat.

Mahul Center won on 1^st innings and it was certainly three tons in the match which remained the highlight performance of the match.
