Chasing the target, Sourav Ganguly led from the front
A day before the all-important Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) 89th Annual General Meeting, board members played out a friendly match at the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad. The fun outing saw the Secretary XI -- led by Jay Shah -- beat the President XI -- led by Sourav Ganguly. The Secretary XI batted first with the side scoring 128/3 in the allotted 12 overs. While Jaydev Shah top-scored with an unbeaten 38, Mohammad Azharuddin opened the batting and retired hurt after hitting a 22-ball 37 (seven boundaries). Former BCCI treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry hit an unbeaten 10 off 7 balls that included a six. Chasing the target, Sourav Ganguly led from the front with an unbeaten 53, but his team failed to chase down the total and fell short by 28 runs. Secretary Jay Shah was the star of the show with the ball for his team as he finished with figures of 2/39. He could have had a third, but Ganguly's catch was dropped off his bowling.
