Lavish Kaushal’s innings also did not work for the teamImage Credit Source: Maharaja T20 Trophy
If the top order of any team or the middle order batsman scored the most runs in any innings, then it is not surprising. But a lower order batsman should come and do such a thing, it is rarely seen. Not only this, if that batsman scored more runs than the whole team himself, it would hardly happen. But in a match of the Maharaja T20 Trophy in Karnataka, something similar was seen, where the eighth number of Gulberg Egyptian batsman Lavish Kaushal played a stormy half -century innings and scored more than the total of the remaining 10 batsmen of the team alone.
This view was seen in the 8th match of the new season of T20 League of Karnataka State Cricket Association. In this match played in Mysore, Gulberg’s batsmen failed badly in front of the deadly bowling of Bengaluru Blasters. Mohsin Khan, Vidyadhar Patil and captain Shubhang Hegde demolished the top and middle order of Gulbarga and fell 6 wickets for just 41 runs. It was here that Lavish Kaushal’s entry was made, but 3 wickets fell in front of his eyes and the score was 67 runs for 9 wickets.
No one could do Lavish out
Gulbarga did not appear to be 70 runs but left -handed fast bowler Lavish did not give up and started trying to save the team from his batting before the ball. This batsman targeted the Bangalore bowlers in turn and gave 54 runs in just 30 balls, hitting fours and sixes. Gulberg’s innings was reduced to 112 runs in 19.5 overs but Lavish returned unbeaten. His innings included 5 sixes and 2 fours. The special thing is that the remaining 10 batsmen of Gulberg could score a total of 51 runs, while 7 runs came in the form of Wide and leg bye.
Bengaluru won
Defending such a small score was similar to that but Lavish kept his team in the match. In such a situation, Gulberg captain Vijaykumar Vaishak took Bangalore in trouble while taking command in bowling. Bengaluru had lost 5 wickets for 72 runs, out of which 4 Vaishaq had shocks. But this score was not very big and in such a situation, Bengaluru won the match by 5 wickets, achieving the target in the 15th over. Incidentally, like Lavish of Gulberg, LR Chetan of Bengaluru also kept scoring runs for the team alone. Chetan, who landed for the opening, scored 75 runs out of 113 of the team, while the remaining 6 batsmen could score 34 runs together.
