• Layanga Vithanage – Extremely dedicated cricketer - good batting and bowling skills and even better attitude. Surprised one and all (including himself) with an excellent innings of 72 against Berowra, the highest individual score for us during the whole season!
• Mayank Jain – a hard hitting middle-order bat, he has also developed significantly in his bowling – be it in pace or accuracy – with a deadly yorker to boot
• Nikhil Nankani – Whether we needed an explosive start or a rapidfire finish, he was our go-to man. His reputation as a big hitter stands vastly enhanced at the end of this season.
• Shenal DeSoysa – By far, the best fielder in the team. Shenal also contributed to our success with his all-round performances
• Siddharth Ramachandran – Led the team from the front with his batting (263 runs @ average of 52.60) to finish 5th in the competition. Sid also had a decent season behind the stumps
• Soham Agarwal – His innocent face & mild manners can be quite deceptive as he can be deadly with a cricket ball in hand. It was a pleasure to watch many a batsman bit the dust against a brilliant display of offspin bowling. One of the main reasons the team did so well!
• Teshan Pereira – Has been a bonding force within the team. Teshan has developed enormously as a cricketer – leading our fast-bowling unit with 9 wickets at a miserly economy rate. Our opposing teams could just not get him away
• Vishal Kannori – Playing his first season, Vishal really punched above his weight, with his athletic fielding and some fearless batting in the late order.
• Yash Shivpuri – Has been with team from the first season. It has been good to watch Yash grow into a mature cricketer & developing further on his leg spin bowling. He came into his own with a nice cameo against Castle Hill RSL in a high pressure chase, to get us past the finish line.
A big thank you to all the parents who volunteered for umpiring, scoring, managing the team as well as training them. Look forward to seeing most of them back next season.
