Let
us start from what Charu Sharma,CCL anchor said, in the post
match presentation between Kerala Strikers and Mumbai Heroes, "Cricket
is a team event, isnt it bad to do everything by yourself ??
He
just smiled and thanked everyone. That was none other than Rajeev Pillai the hero of Kerala Strikers team. He was instrumental in Kerala
Strikers comprehensive ten wicket victory over Mumbai Heores. He played
like a professional Criketer through out the innings and made a spectacular
75 runs.
It will be unfair to give the entire
credit to him for Kerala Strikers win against Mumbai Heroes. They did a
decent spell in bowling and were successful in limiting MH score to 129.
Bineesh Kodiyeri's spell stood out from the rest. He took 4 wickets
for 18 runs in his 4 over spell. Riding on an explosive 75 off 63 balls
by
Rajeev Pillai and ably asisted by Navin Pauly Kerala strikers chased the
MH total with ease.
The turnout in Kochi International Stadium
was immense and the response from the crowd was scintillating. Cheers
and the support the team received was more than what Kochi Tuskers got
in their home turf.
Rajeev was the top scorer with
43(33) runs in the nail biting encounter with Chennai Rhinos at
Hyderabad on Saturday which Kerala Strikers lost by one wicket. Kerala
Strikers batting hopes for the tournament lies on his shoulders and lets
hope he will continue doing well. We hope this will turnout as a huge
turning point for his acting career as well.
