Young promising all-rounder Saurav Nautiyal sizzles with a quickfire 132 & 5wkts in the T25 2nd Mukharji Tournament‘18

Seems like Saurav has developed a habit of shining in limited overs game as this must be atleast the 4^th time he has scored a hundred as well as taken 4 or more wickets in the same game. Being the highest scorer and the leading taker both in the same match is a commendable thing to achieve and Saurav seems to be mastering the art of firing from all cylinders as he has definitely gone on to become a T20 and limited overs specialist.

Played between Delhi and Goa at Noida, it was an exciting clash between Delhi and Goa where in Delhi won the toss and elected to bat first on the back of their strong batting line up and home ground advantage. Delhi team batting first notched up 212/2 in 25overs which is a very healthy total to defend. Opening the innings, Saurav Nautiyal scored a yet another breath taking ton smashing 132 off 73balls laced with 14fours and 5sixes to counter attack the opposition hitting runs in almost every corner of the ground. The rest of the batsman chipped in as Delhi crossed the 200run mark.

Defending 213 runs in 150balls, the pressure was definitely more on the Goan team as it’s difficult to score at fast rate. Saurav Nautiyal took perfect benefit of the pressure inflicted on opposition as he took a brilliant fifer with the ball too. Saurav came up with amazing bowling figures of 5/20 in 5overs which reduced the team to just 173/10 in 21overs.
