Vedprakash Jaiswal makes everyone proud with his 117 ball 209 in the Giles Shield Tournament
Some people are born to shine and some people reach heights through sheer hard work. Such is the story of this one talented kid called Vedprakash Jaiswal. Suryansh shedge has some serious competition in terms of greatness from this amazingly talented right hander.
It was the 3rd knockout match between VN Sule and Fatima high school. VN Sule who is known for their strong batting line up elected to bat first. They were true to their decision as they went off to a great start though Yash & Harsh were out cheaply. It was their skipper Vedprakash Jaiswal who did the talking with the bat. The right handed opener who scored a 172* in the 1st match again came all guns blazing & scored a mammoth 209 off just 117 balls. Though wickets were tumbling from the other end, Jaiswal played with complete ease and authority. Vedprakash was completely brutal and hardly spared any bowlers of the opposition. His 209 included 32 fours and 3 sixes out of which his flick(six) towards the deep midwicket against a fast bowler was his personal favorite. Being a right-handed wicket-keeper batsman himself, Ved gave us strong memories of the legendary right handed wicket keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist who is till date considered to be one of the most devastating wicket keeper batsman in world cricket.
Jaiswal’s 209 and samarth’s 31 helped their team reach a total of 314/9 in 45 overs where almost 60% of the runs were scored by Jaiswal himself. What’s more interesting is, Ved’s coach had told him to atleast make a total target of 250 or more to defend. But such was the day he alone himself scored a 209! Vedprakash was there right till the end and was dismissed in the 43rd over trying to pull in the midwicket.
Chasing such a big score, Fatima school succumbed to the pressure and were faltered out for just 126 giving a huge victory by 188 runs to VN sule. right arm spinner Atharva bhosle took 5 wickets and was pick of the bowlers. Bhosle was majestic with the ball where 3 out of 5 wickets were clean bowled. VN Sule won the match in style & skipper Vedprakash Jaiswal was awarded man of the match for his heroics with the bat.
Vedprakash Jaiswal who is looking so bright for his coming future dedicated this knock not only to his hard working father and mother but also dedicated it to his coaches Gopal sir & Ashok sir who dedicate their time and hard work over him. His father Jaiprakash jaiswal who used to be a budding cricketer himself in his early days wishes that his son completes all his dreams where he fell short off & he must be feeling proud of his son for sure.
