The first day of Capital league T20 tournament turned out to be an exciting day. LIC won the low scoring match in which their bowlers thrashed Pidilite for just 45 runs. “It was a remarkable victory for us. It is always nice to start a tournament with win. Initially we looked little shaky as we fell short by 1 run to put a 3 digit total on board. But we backed ourselves, bowled in right areas and got the results, “saidMr. Samar happily.

Samar-a development officer, is also a captain of LIC cricket team. He talked about his views on captaincy. “It is wonderful opportunity for me to lead this side. I have been playing cricket for almost past 22 years now. Everyone wants to be a captain of a team and I got that chance. I am enjoying my job as captain. Besides cricket it is also helping me in my profession. As a development officer I often interact with different LIC agents. So it helps me to improve our team work.”

“We knew that we can defend this total because the wicket was very slow and wet. Also the outfield had lots of grass because of which ball wasn’t reaching to boundary. I must applaud our bowlers and specially Pramod for his efforts. Our attack was terrific in that game. This is what any captain expects from players. Now we are looking to capitalize on a kind of start we have got in this tournament”

Currently, they are placed in F division in this tournament. “We are experienced campaigners. We have been playing in various tournaments since many years. We even grabbed the Times shield title couple of times. We were runner’s up in a tournament organized by Dreamz sports few years ago and we have been in Semifinals of various tournaments for countless number of times. It won’t be an exaggeration if I say that any tournament in which we play, we reach till the semifinal for sure. That kind of confidence I have in my team and players,” said the captain.

Samar was very happy about the sponsors and organizers of the tournament.” It is a really nice tournament. Sponsors and organizers have done a great job. We are very determined and I think we can win the title this year,” said the captain.

He talked about his opponents and next matches of this tournament. “I think there are various groups in this tournament. That basically means that teams with equal potential are placed in same groups. So I think every team has got the caliber of same level. T20 is a format of uncertainty, team which plays better cricket on that day wins the match. Even a batsman or bowler can take a game away from opponent single handedly. On has to be watchful always until the game is completely over. I think that is our prime goal. We want to give our best and win the key moments.”

As LIC team is high on confidence, it will be interesting to see if they can carry this momentum to book a place in finals.
