The biggest strength of the team was their bowling attack with a great mix of pace and spin bowling. The pace attack was led by Ayush, Yasith, Abhinav, Ansh, Haseeb, Gary and Akith whilst the spin attack led by Arjonil and Rohan who came in middle of the innings and foxed many batsmen with their loopy leg spin. Rumeth, Hugo and Ammar then kept it tight whilst chipping in with wickets in the rest of the overs. The
fact that everyone contributed with tight bowling and taking wickets ensuring there were no loose balls on offer was one of the main reasons the team was so successful this season. One of the wonderful sights of the season was the boys encouraging each other on the field and backing up their bowlers with exceptional fielding.
When the bowlers were performing so well, the batting needed to back that up for the team to succeed. And the batting mainstays of the team - Akith , Yasith, Abhinav, Ansh, Ammaar, Haseeb and Gary delivered magnificently. When there was a target to set the batsman used a great mix of aggression and caution to set high totals and when there was a large target to chase down they did so with great maturity. In those rare occasions when the top order failed we had the middle and lower order players coming in and saving the day such as some of Rohan and Ayush’s innings at the latter part of the season.
Our key glove-men behind the stumps were Abhinav and Arjonil whilst Ammar chipped in few games. One of the main features of the 2020-21 season was the significantly reduced byes given away by the team. This itself is testimony for the great work done by our wicketkeepers. The fielding was outstanding throughout the season where everyone backed up the bowler, in many cases crippling the opposition.
Overall, congratulations to all of the team players for an amazing season with special mention to Akith for winning the team batting award, Ayush for winning the team bowling award and Yasith for winning the allrounder award. A special note of thanks should be conveyed to Indranil, our very passionate coach and Mohit, our dedicated manager. Indranil’s commitment and dedication to coach and gel this team together was amazing.
And finally a big thank you to all the parents who dedicated their time to show support, volunteer with scoring, umpiring and ground set up. Everyone enjoyed the morning coffee chats and the team performances and we look forward to the next season!
