Ghadigaonkar slams unbeaten double ton for MIG
Mumbai : Sumit Ghadigaonkar attracted all the attention with his confident batting performance stroking his way to an unbeaten 201 runs knock as MIG Cricket Club piled up a score of 350 for the loss of four wickets in 64 overs against P.J. Hindu Gymkhana in a second round Group-B league match of the Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd. sponsored ‘70th Police Invitation Shield Cricket Tournament’, played at the MIG Ground on Saturday.
Put in to bat, MIG batsmen had not problems against the Hindu Gym bowling attack and Ghadigaonkar feasted on the bowling scoring freely on either side of the wicket. His unconquered stay in the middle came off 189 balls, which contains 24 hits to the boundary and two sixes. Swapnil Pradhan made a smart contribution of 75 runs. MIG will aim to add some quick runs when they resume their innings on Sunday to complete the remaining six overs.
