Shreyas School registers massive victory over Vibgyor

Vadodara: Southpaw Rajveer Jadhav’s unbeaten 130 runs and leg-spinner Patel Jeet’s five wicket haul helped Shreyas School to record a massive victory over Vibgyor School on the second day of the Maharani Shantadevi U-19 Inter School One Day Tournament held at VCA grounds on Wednesday.
Shreyas School won the toss and elected to bat first, but suffered major jolts when the school lost their opening pairs early with just 14 runs on the board. But with a record partnership between Rushikesh Uttekar and Rajveer Jadhav of 184 runs in 182 balls the match took a sudden turn. Vibgyor fielders missed the opportunity as they dropped Rushikesh when he was only on 10, which proved to be very costly. The duo troubled the bowlers, as they batted for 30 overs, striking the ball to perfection all across the ground.
Rudra Mayur of Vibgyor finally broke the partnership, by taking the wicket of Rushikesh at 75, with the scoreline reading at 198 in 34.3 overs. With the team well settled, Adnan Shaikh accelerated the run rate at the end of the inning, scoring a quick fire 32 of 13 balls proved to be a good support for Rajveer, who remained not out at 130 in 111 balls.
Vibgyor boys started 267 run chase on a good note, scoring 46 in 8 overs. But a wicket by Vishwajeet Patil on 9th over changed the script of the match. The rest of the batsmen could not accelerate the run rate for Vibgyor. Shreyas bowler, Rakhe, claimed back to back two important wickets and leggy Patel Jeet took a five wicket to bundle out Vibgyor with just 108 runs on the board gifting the Shreyas boys a win of 159 runs. Rajveer was adjudged the man of the match for his class batting.
