Usain Bolt reveals the sport he dreamt of playing as a child, and its not sprinting
Usain Bolt has opened up on how he would never have pursued a career in track and field were it not for his father, having wanted to make it big in a totally different sport.
The Cheetahs won the toss and opted to bat first, scoring 84 for 1 in 20.0 overs. In reply, the Titans carried the day with 85 for 2 in only 8.0 overs.
But Titan’s captain and opener Akshi Shah could only manage nine runs off nine balls before being caught out by Anshi Bhanderi. Fof, on the other hand, scored 13 runs off 21 balls before being caught out by Dhrum Rabadia.
“It was a good pitch. We batted second and won, the ball was not hitting the boundaries though, so we tried to get as many runs as possible. We got a couple of wides, but overall, it was a good game. It feels good to start the league with a win and we hope to keep that energy going for the future matches as well,” said Titan’s batter Sajni Shah.
