Young Atharva Sawant smashes a thumping 90ball double ton in the Singhania Tournament ‘18
Played between two promising teams namely SVPT and BSMS at the Raymond Cricket ground, SVPT won the toss and elected to bat first with an aim of making a big 1st innings total and put the opposition under pressure.
Saraswati English School team took a right decision to bat first as they made a mammoth total of 397/3 in mere 30 overs. Right-handed young prodigy Atharva Sawant who opened the innings took on the bowlers from the word go. The opposition bowlers were least aware about the carnage which was about to hit them as Atharva hardly spared any bowler attacking almost every ball which came by his way. Atharva who reached his hundred in mere 41deliveries converted his hundred into a thumping double ton smashing 204* off just 90 deliveries in which he smashed 32fours and 6sixes. Atharva also got a good partner in Vedant who scored 119 off mere 54balls while stitching a 300runs+ stand between themselves propelling their team total to a very big score. Vedant Wadekar smashed 18fours and 4sixes and was equally destructive with the bat where he took on almost every bowler in every corner of the ground.
Chasing 398 in mere 180 deliveries is a gigantic task for most of the teams and BSMS were bundled out for mere 64runs as they may have felt the pressure of chasing such a big score against a quality bowling attack. Right arm leg spinner Kashywap Waykar bowled an amazing spell of 5/7 in 3overs which turned the tides furthermore in SVPT School’s favor. Kashyap bowled at impressive line and length which reaped rewards for him as well as his team.
