It was the last over of 20-20 match. Chasing our score of 110, the opponent team reached 101 runs in 19 overs with two wickets in hand. It was indeed a tough call for the bowler to choose the line ane length. Nevertheless....he dared and in very first ball the opponent went for a quick two. Now score was 103 runs. Another 7 runs of last 5 balls. Next ball was superb yorker taking away one of the stumps and heart bits got extreme high now. Another 7 runs of last 4 balls. The last batsman had very little options. He decided to open his hands. The next ball....it got in touch with his bat....and all the fielders and spectators kept their lost a few heart bits. Ball went quite high. The fielder had sufficient time. And this time.........once again he proved that "WHEREVER YOU GO IN THIS WORLD, YOU FIND A KERALITE". Yes...it was Arun this time. He kept his nerves and caught the ball quite cleanly unlike a few overs back when he put it down. And thats it....we won the match. Wonderful match. Today, we had little less in numbers hence we joined with the VSSC Team. Anil Garg preferred to choose our members and kept his faith on all of us. Winning the toss, we elected to bat first. This time, we had some experienced players from VSSC, however it was quite a slow start. We were hardly reaching a run rate of 4 to 4.5. The first innings saw some good but slow partnerships. Sonal and Sobhan did their part nicely. It was Jai later, who tried to capitalized. Prijith and Arun also contributed their part. Finally, two veterans Subbu and Anil Garg took the attack and the last few overs produced good sixers, boundaries and the team attained valuable 109 runs in 20 overs. The innings saw quite a number of run-outs. Everybody contributed their parts to the dot.
Second innings saw excellent bowling spells from VSSC players, followed with Sobhan who finished his complete quota of 4 overs. Arun and Prijith kept their nerves while bowling. Subbu proved to be a deadly wall on the mid-off saving ample of runs for his team. Prashant showed heroics in taking a tough catch. Four attempted catch in the long off from a junior player was finally dropped. Jai used his entire body to stop singles quite close to the pitch and troubled batsman in taking the singles. Finally, it was the bowling team, which kept its nerve till the end and won the match. For sure, Arun's catch will be remembered for long. This match has given enogh confidence to SPL Royal Challengers that - they can beat any team and perform to their level best. Cheers. DBS.
