Shivam Gharat shines as Automotive knocks down Kotak Mahindra | Mumbai

Automotive recorded a sound win over Kotak Mahindra in the T40 Milan Memorial cricket tournament.

Shivam Gharat was the star of the match. Having put into bat first in bowling friendly conditions, Shivam showed sound technique as he negotiated the new ball and later attached the bowling. Automotive didn’t have a good start as they lost their opener Tejas for naught bringing Shivam early on the wicket. Shivam and Aamir played sensible partnership to see off the new ball. Shivam scored 72 off 98 balls. Chetan Dingra too played well later in the innings ensuring Automotive innings lasted for whole 40 overs. They managed a decent score of 192 runs. For Kotak, Vikarm took 3 wickets while Mayur accounted for 2.

Kotak’s top order collapsed completely against a decent attack. They lost 6 wickets for 41 runs before Bhavesh and Chandrashekhar stitched a good partnership for 7th wicket giving a glimmer of hope to Kotak. But their efforts were not enough. Once these 2 were accounted for Automotive ease to a good victory to start the new year with a win.
