Sankalp Pednekar dazzles for ICICI Bank to thrash GEBS in the quarter final of JD Sports Club T20 Tournament
GEBS had a disappointing outing on 12th March when they faced ICICI Bank during the JD Sports Club Corporate T20 Challenge Cricket Tournament at Young Muslim’s Cricket Ground, Mumbai. Jitendra Deshmukh, who was a player first, then coach and umpire is the man behind this tournament. He has different feathers to his cricketing cap.
Batting first, GEBS was done and dusted for a paltry 58 in 15.2 overs. ICICI was brilliant with the ball, courtesy Abhishek and Kuldeep’s fantastic bowling efforts. Both these players accounted for two scalps each. There was nothing much in GEBS batting, apart from Rohan Chaughule (12) and Bins Neyyoth (10), being the only two to score in double digit.
It was a cake walk chase for ICICI Bank as they won the match comfortably in just 9.3 overs keeping nine wickets in hand. Sankalp Pednekar remained unbeaten on 36 off 25 balls and found able ally in Yatin (18). The openers formed a strong partnership and set the tone of the match. Pednekar was a batting delight as he blistered four boundaries and two sixes in his wonderful innings.
Sankalp Pednekar (36 runs off 25 balls) was declared as the Man of the Match for his match winning knock.
