The
Yuva Mumbai youth under the captaincy of Young Tiger, Aaditya Thackeray, proved
their mastery over Underarm Cricket at the Tony Premier League exhibition match
against Sohail Khan’s Mumbai Heroes in an exciting seven-over match at
St.Andrews Turf, Bandra. Aaditya Thackeray bowled both his opponents and the
audiences over and walked off with the ‘Best Bowler’ and the ‘Man of The Match’
awards and of course, the coveted Winner’s Trophy.
Admitting
that his players were used to Conventional Cricket and were playing Underarm
probably for the first time, Sohail Khan said that he would always stand by
Aaditya Thackeray’s initiative to promote sports among children and the youth.
“He is a youth icon and inspires by example. It was a fun match.”
Rohit
Roy said he loved “sweating it out” and wanted to play the league as well.
Jay
Bhanushali admitted he was a cricket buff and both he, Aamir Ali and other
players confessed that it as their very first Underarm Cricket match.
Nevertheless, it was the sportsmanship that was the real winner. “Naren Moriani
and Daanish Hingora, Founders and Team Owners of TPL, felt that "the
league is a platform for them to set a precedent for their children to get out
into the field and play for real. Today, in this era of mobile and computer
games, cricket comes like a breath of fresh air. Aaditya Thackeray and Sohail
Khan’s exhibition match further strengthened the purpose of TPL.”
Avers
Rahul Kanal, Team Owner, I Love Mumbai, and a pillar of strength to TPL,
“Cricket becomes a platform for us to unite people and have fun on the field”.
The
matches will be live on Tony Premier League YouTube channel.
