Talented Bravish stamps his class with a double ton while Jeff, Kunal and Nikhil also put up a good show in the Times Cricket Shield
Bravish has over the years proved his capabilities with the bat, he has the right amount of patience, aggression, power and resilience which are all crucial in the making of a world class batsman. In the match played between Reliance and A.G (L&R) at the MB Union cross maidan, A.G won the toss and elected to field first with an aim of restricting the opposition to a low total.
However, it wasn’t the best of the decisions as Reliance were all out for just 200runs in 63.2 overs with Sachin and Aditya top scoring 32 & 40 respectively. Off Spinner Jeff Perreira bowled a tremendous bowling spell of 6/37 in 19.2 overs which did the maximum damage. Jeff bowled in excellent line and length as he bowled in the right areas taking wickets at regular intervals which reaped good results for him as well as his team.
In reply, A.G (L&R) displayed their might with the bat as they scored a mammoth 641/8 in 148 overs. Openers Srujan and all-rounder Jeff gave a terrific start with their half centuries while Bravish who came in at no.3 made full use of the positive momemtum left behind by the openers. Right-handed Bravish scored a flashy 214 off just 170balls smashing 25fours and 6sixes to take on the bowlers. Bravish’s batting was a pure treat to the eyes as he played some amazing cricketing shots en-route his aggressive double ton. Nikhil Patil who came just below Bravish also scored an impressive 105 to support bravish. Kunal Mathure who came in at no.7 scored an impressive unbeaten 101* as he solidified the middle order with his elegant batting. A.G(L&R) won the match handsomely on 1st innings and it was definitely Bravish who stood out. Jeff’s all-round show, Nikhil and Kunal’s tons were also equally commendable!
