The victorious Presidency College team poses with the
IISc Centenary Cricket Cup 2012.
11 March 2012, IISc Gymkhana Ground, Bangalore: Presidency College turned in a polished performance to beat Surana College by a comprehensive six-wicket margin to be crowned the champions in the IISc Centenary Cricket Cup 2012.
Nirmal (50) and Mohit (44*) helped Surana post a competitive 167/9 in 25 overs. Presidency went about the chase in the most efficient manner possible always staying far ahead of the required rate. Brisk forties from Rajkumar (48), Pruthvi (41) and Nischith (41) did the trick for Presidency. Nischith in particular seemed to be in utter hurry as he clobbered three sixes in an over. Presidency cantered home with 3.2 overs and six wickets remaining.
Former India wicket-keeper Sadanand Viswanath graced the final as the chief guest and spoke eloquently in the presentation ceremony where he handed over the trophies. He emphasized on the importance of perseverance not just in cricket but also in life. He urged on all the budding cricketers to always be on guard in the fast-paced lives of today.
