The Story in Brief
Four batters scored double centuries on Monday in the Hyderabad Cricket Association league. Advith Reddy made 256 from 148 balls as Team Speed posted 746/8 in the ‘B’ Division. Narra Chandra struck an unbeaten 238 for Warangal District, while Mohammed Ahmed Shakeer and T. Aaron Paul both remained unbeaten on 207 for Postal and Mahmood respectively.
Team Speed also had centuries from Koushik Reddy and Vimal Dev. In the ‘A’ Division, Imperial made the day’s highest total with 459, including S. Loknath Naik’s 130. Rahul Radhesh scored 167 for MP Colts and S. Abdur Rahman returned 6/52 for R. Dayanand. Several other batters reached three figures, while multiple bowlers claimed five-wicket hauls.
The Indian Opinion
It would be easy to call this purely a batting spectacle, but the scores also reflect 90-over and two-day formats, where bowlers face long spells and totals can grow quickly. Nor do four double centuries prove that Hyderabad cricket lacks quality bowling. S. Abdur Rahman’s 6/52 and the other five-wicket returns show otherwise. The better measure will be whether these big innings lead to wins and wickets when the matches reach their second day.
