Skipper Rakesh Naik’s 6wkts and Akshad’s 57 steers KRP XI to a win in the Kanga League ‘18

After the end of the rainy season, many skippers are taking bold decision to bat first in Kanga and KRP XI was one of the those teams batting first at Cross Maidan.

KRP XI declared their innings on 165/7 in 44overs with their no.3 batsman Akshay Redekar top scoring with an unbeaten 57* off 113balls (5fours, 2sixes). It was an anchoring knock by Akshad as he kept his calm without throwing his wicket away to any rash shots. Catholic Gymkhana on the other hand were bundled out for 90runs as skipper Rakesh Naik came up with a match winning bowling spell of 6/28 in 14overs with 5maidens. Rakesh who has had a prolific year in all forms of cricket continues to be an impact player changing the games either with his wily left arm spin or his handy batting.

KRP XI won the match on 1st innings lead and Rakesh Naik, Akshay Redekar played important roles for their team’s win.
