Quickster Mohit Avasthi’s runs though Regal’s batting line up with a tearaway 6wkt haul in the Purshottam Shield ‘18

Into the opening day of the Purshottam Shield Tournament, it was fast bowler Mohit Avasthi who called for everyone’s attention with his accurate line and length coupled with good pace and bowling action.

Regal CC who elected to bat first at PJ Hindu Gymkhana suffered a batting collapse getting all out for just 97 runs in 33.3 overs. Right arm fast bowler Mohit Avasthi’s sensational spell did the job for PJ Hindu Gymkhana as he came up with impressive bowling figures of 6/40 in 13.3 overs. Mohit did not allow the batsman to settle giving timely breakthroughs.

In reply, it was a cakewalk for the PJ Hindu Gymkhana batsman as they chased down the score with ease. Ankit Revandkar opening the innings stayed unbeaten on 49* as PJ won the match by 9 wkts.
