Rising star Aditya Rawat again captures hearts with a thumping double ton in the U14 Total Cup‘18

Played between Sachin Tendulkar XI and Sunil Gavaskar XI which are two really promising teams, Gavaskar XI boys won the toss and elected to field first with an aim of restricting the opposition to a low total.

Little did they knew that SRT XI has a player who is in smashing form in the past few tournaments and he just continued his purple patch from where he left behind. Aditya Rawat who was just in the news for scoring a half century as well as bagging 5wkts in the same match continued to impress as this time he went on to score a marathon knock of 201* off 290 deliveries. SRT XI reached 328/4 before they declared with Aditya smashing 65% of the team runs. What’s more he dodged the bowlers with ease while gave proper treatment to the loose deliveries smashing around 35boundaries in his impressive double century. Jaycool Girase (46) and Mohit Tanwar (47) also gave him good support before they declared their innings on a good total.

Sunil Gavaskar XI on the other hand scored 246/7 in 79 overs before the match drawned. Jayesh Patil (58*) and Jeevan (37) were the top scorers in the match.

The match resulted in a draw but there were definitely some positives with most importantly Aditya once again impressing one and all with his confident batting.
