Shree Cutchi Leva Patel Samaj Development opener Krushil Varsani has described his team as one of the most well-balanced sides on the Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association (NPCA) front following their 30-overs Division 3 League title victory at Jamhuri High School grounds.<\/strong><\/p>\n Indefatigable Krushil led in-form Samaj Development to an emphatic 8-wicket victory over Kanbis Development during the action-packed Division 3 League final as \u201cNairobi West troops\u201d celebrated title success.<\/p>\n Samaj had their campaign effectively sewn-up incidentally with their top order batsmen; with only two dismissals of Harshil Kerai (lbw) and Krushil who was caught out by Vinay Patel.<\/p>\n Krushil explained: \u201cPersonally on my part I must admit that I have executed it well because I scored runs in all the matches, so that was a plus to the team. Their (Kanbis) batting first was quite an advantage because our bowling is better than their batting, so we were comfortable with our bowling and piled immense pressure on them.\u201d<\/p>\n Commenting on the final, Krushil went on: \u201cThe essence for us was to hit the balls up in the air and to make some good balls too. We didn\u2019t want to take any risks in the final because the target was low, so we just needed to stay on. We are looking forward to some good cricket in the knockouts. We hope to remain in good form and execute it just the same way we did this season. I believe we have the most balanced team and the essence for us will be to stay on the crease more in our innings, I am chuffed for the win.\u201d<\/p>\n Twenty-one-year-old Kanbis skipper Kaushal Mepani was left to rue their loss to Samaj team. Kaushal was hoping to spearhead his side to victory ostensibly to shore up a Kanbis clean-sweep.<\/p>\n Kanbis A and B teams are currently leading in Super and Division One Leagues respectively, but Samaj Development ended the intended hattrick for the Eastleigh side after the result.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are ashamed of that. We didn\u2019t make our team proud. We will try our best again next season and make amends too,\u201d Kaushal said as Kanbis\u2019 intended hattrick came a cropper.<\/p>\n The Toss<\/strong><\/p>\n Kanbis Development won the toss and elected to bat first and were bowled out for 119 in 23.0 Overs. Chasing the target Samaj Development were home and dry with 123 for 2 in 24.0 Overs.<\/p>\n Asked about their loss to Samaj, Kushal added: \u201cIt was a good idea to bat first, but our middle order batsmen and openers didn\u2019t score enough runs. When Vinay Kerai\u2019s catch was dropped, that\u2019s when I believed the game was gone. We tried our best though but their top order stayed longer on the crease.\u201d<\/p>\n Kanbis didn\u2019t go home empty handed though as Kaushal became the Division\u2019s Most Valuable Player (MVP) with a score of 54.736 ahead of Vinay Kerai who managed 54.692 while Krushal came third with a score of 54.666.<\/p>\n Highest Run Scorer<\/strong><\/p>\n Samaj\u2019s Krushal was nevertheless Division 3\u2019s highest run scorer of with a cumulative total of 432 from 8 innings at an average of 86.40.<\/p>\n Kanbis\u2019 Kaushal came second in the runs\u2019 leaderboard with 382 accrued from 8 innings. Kanbis\u2019 Vinay Kerai collected the highest number of wickets (15) ahead of Samaj\u2019s Khush Kerai with 15.<\/p>\n On fielding, Krushil was again the leader with a total of 9 dismissals to his name, ahead of namesake and teammate Jayant Varsani with 8 whilst Kaushil came third with 7.<\/p>\n Samaj Development qualified for the semis after they topped the 8-team round robin segment of the competition.<\/p>\n Kanbis Development, on the other hand, beat the Ruaraka Development by 5 wickets at Sikh Union Club grounds last weekend to prevail to the final.<\/p>\n Samaj Development, on their part, defeated Sikh Union Development team by 6wickets to rack up their deserved place in the final and most importantly the coveted title.<\/p>\n The post Samaj Hitman Krushil attributes Division 3 League Title To Level headed Play<\/a> first appeared on KBC<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 Shree Cutchi Leva Patel Samaj Development opener Krushil Varsani has described his team as one of the most well-balanced sides on the Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association (NPCA) front following their 30-overs Division 3 League title victory at Jamhuri High School grounds.
