This match was played in C.B.I.T (one of the premium private institue in AP), we are E.C.E and our opponents were Production Engineering students. We won the toss and elected to bat, for a change we changed our batting order, Vishnu and I opened the innings. This was 20-20 over match, let me tell you about Vishnu, he was one of the best players in C.B.I.T , he is my best critic, and he was famous for his leg side sixes. Before this we had a match with civil I didnt play that match, Vishnu opened the innings and scored 92 runs with 7 sixes. We were there in middle, facing first over I just had to defense all the 6 deliveries. Our score was 2 runs (wides) after first over. Vishnu faced second over, let me comment the situation because I was standing close to bowler. The first ball of second over was pulled to six, Production team captain was fielding near mid-on, he shouted watz happenin, bowler said just slipped from hand. Second ball middle and leg pulled to six, bowler was little bit worried. One thing, in the initial overs the ball is real hard and to put ball to six is really difficult. Third ball on offstump Vishnu just made little adjustment and result was same. All the players gathered at one place and they changed their strategey, they put a man on deep fine leg so that if Vishnu attempts same then he will be in trouble. Fourth ball away off stump, result was same our team was having a great time, but this was last six of this over. Vishnu continued his style, one shot I still remember, he was on back foot and punched the ball to covers man I was standing on nonstriking end and it was really "sexy shot" to me. He returned to pavilion at 40's. I was hammering to my best and helping runrate to increase. I was caught on 40's, I hit a six on offside squarer and 5 fours. Our score was moving pretty well, with Tyson and Srikanth playing well in middle, Tyson is good on-side player he hit a six to square leg (reminding vishnu's six). They both helped to put 178 on scoreboard, we put 183 as target for Production team. We were confident to win (as we were at our best in game called cricket), but we used to have a strategey to close opponents innings score below 100 runs. But they were allout for 122 runs, myself got 2 wickets, Shekar 1 wicket, tyson and konda got 3 each. We won the match again, but I still remeber the way vishnu played his innings.
