On one hand, Delhi Premier League is in full swing, on the other hand, UP T20 League is also showing its power. In Delhi League, Priyansh Arya and Ayush Badoni are stealing the show with their explosive batting. Everyone is talking about them, but apart from all these, a batsman has created a stir in UP League, who believes only in hitting sixes. His name is Swastik Chikara. In UP T20 League, this batsman of Meerut Mavericks has garnered attention with his explosive batting and now he has presented another example of this, where he scored 85 runs with the help of 10 sixes against Kashi Rudra, while the entire team scored 118 runs.

This match played in Lucknow on Monday, September 2, could not be played for the full 20-20 overs due to rain. The match was limited to only 9-9 overs, in which Meerut Mavericks, captained by Rinku Singh, batted first. This team lost the wicket of opener Akshay Dubey on the second ball itself, but this did not affect Swastik Chikara. This right-handed batsman started such a series of thrashing the bowlers, which ended directly in the 8th over, but by then the team had crossed 100 runs.

Rinku's golden duck but Swastik wreaked havoc

Once Swastik started his attack, he just rained fours and sixes.

This young batsman scored a whopping 85 runs in just 27 balls. During his innings, Swastik scored only 4 fours but smashed the bowlers by hitting 10 sixes. Overall, he batted at a strike rate of 314.81, on the basis of which Meerut scored 118 runs in their 9 overs. The special thing is that the team captain Rinku Singh could not even open his account and was bowled on the first ball and became a victim of a golden duck.

The whole team could not even make a mark equal to Swastika

On the other hand, the batsmen of Kashi could not even reach close to this score. Forget about defeating Meerut, the batsmen of Kashi could not even match the 85 runs of Swastik Chikara in their allotted 9 overs. The entire team could score only 66 runs after losing 7 wickets in 9 overs and lost the match by a huge margin of 52 runs. Vishal Chaudhary did a Swastik-like feat in bowling for Meerut, who conceded only 7 runs in 2 overs and took 4 wickets.
