Openers Baldev and Meeraj put on a record 170 run stand to steer Bombay Knight Riders to a win in JFSC T20 Tournament’21

Played at Fatima Cricket Ground, Bombay Knight Riders batting first posted a massive total of 258/5 in 20 overs. Courtesy to openers who went all guns blazing from the very 1st over,  opener Meraj Sayed scored a gutsy 64 off 45 balls playing the anchors role while it was Baldev Maheshwari stealing the show with a fabulous hundred. Baldev scored 114 runs off mere 42 balls making it one of the fastest JFSC tons smashing 17 fours and 6 sixes at a strike rate of 271.43.

On the other hand, Team FACT XI could only muster 113/7 in 20 overs thanks to a brilliant spell by Atul S who came up with excellent bowling figures of 3/7 in 3 overs. The rest of the bowlers also did a neat job with the ball as Bombay Knight Riders won the match by 145 runs.

Captain Ananth Venkatraman shared with Cricketgraph “As a captain, this victory for me is special as i could attackingly lead my side to a 145 run victory. Baldev Maheshwari our opening batsman, who scored a fabulous hundred won man of match award and dedicated it to a young kid named Atharv from opposition team to boost his confidence as a sweet gesture”

Baldev who first won the heart with his batting later on won the hearts with his sweet gesture once again reminding all of us that Cricket is a gentleman’s game.
