POTM: Kaustubh Pimputkar

kaustubh1Kaustubh walked in with his team two-down in the first two overs chasing a stiff target and a fine new ball attack on a lively wicket. With his team’s continued struggles with the bat, Kaustubh had to drop anchor to steady the ship.

Kaustubh put on a near fifty run stand for the third wicket before another series of wickets at regular intervals left him with the lower-order. Mixing caution with calculated risks Kaustubh built a platform for his team to launch an attach in the last 10 overs to give then an outside chance of winning.

With some lusty boundaries and hard running, he maneuvered the lower-order to give him the support needed to chase down a target that seemed to be going out of reach all the while.

In the end his fine 54 that was steely and temperamentally sound went in vain as the support he received didn’t prove to be enough to chase down the score.

POTM: Dinesh

Dinesh_POTM

Defending a smallish total, Dinesh came in one-change with the opposition ahead in the game and produced a sharp spell of good quick bowling mixing his length to have the opposition on tenterhooks.

Barring his three over burst for a wicket while conceding only 9 runs the opposition would have run away with the game a lot earier.

For continuing to be his team’s most valuable asset with his bowling, Dinesh is the POTM.

POTM: Bhadresh

BhadreshIn a spirited display of committed fielding that saved many boundaries that cost him a good chunk of his skin on his elbows, arms and knees, Bhadresh gave it his all.

Then having to steer the ship in the chase at the end, Bhadresh pulled out two massive sixes to make the match a lot closer than the eventual 9 runs his team lost with.

For his spirited performance diving around both while fielding and running between the wickets and his brilliant cameo at the end, Bhadresh is the POTM

POTM: Bhargav Rao

Bhargav-POTMIn a dominating innings studded with 12 fours and a towering six, Bhargav played the role of a punishing no.3 to perfection. After he got his eye in, he mounted a tremendous assault on the opposition bowlers – spin and pace alike.

In his match winning partnership with opener Jobin, he put on 159 for 2nd wicket in less than 17 overs. The pair ran 10 twos and innumerable quick singles on a hot day to run the opposition team ragged.

Bhargav returned to produce a fine spell in the field and contributed with a wicket, a catch and a spectacular run-out. For a tremendous all-round effort, Bhargav is the POTM
