Spin duo of Prathamesh Golatkar and Sanket Yashwante take 10wkts together in the Summer Shield Tournament ‘18

Over the years we have seen Kumble-Harbhajan, Macgill-Warne and more recently Ashwin-Jadeja or even more recent than that Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav troubling the best of the batting line ups with their effortless spin. One such example was witnessed at the local level where the spin duo of Prathamesh and Sanket both destroyed the opposition to mere 40runs taking 5wkt hauls each.

Played between KRP XI C.C and Dadar C.C at MB Union Cross Maidan, it was the all important clash of the Summer shield where in KRP XI elected to field first after winning the toss. Their decision to bowl first was completely spot on as they restricted Dadar CC to mere 40 runs all out in 16.3 overs. Two bowlers who attacked like a team and wrecked havoc over opposition were Prathamesh Golatkar and Sanket Yashwante. Left arm spinner Prathamesh came up with 5/16 in 6.3 overs while right arm off-spinner Sanket came up with 5/18 in 7 overs out which 5 were maidens. Both the bowlers bowled really tight not allowing a single batsman to settle or score runs freely.

KRP XI chased down the total in mere 4.5 overs with Jatin Shelke smashing a quick 29* off 17balls opening the innings. KRP XI won the match by 9wkts and it was surely these two spinners who amazed one and all with their excellent spin bowling.
