Indian MPs drub UK counterparts Mohammad Azharuddin scores 100 off 46 balls

[Sir john]

Mohammad Azharuddin, former captain of the Indian cricket team and now Congress MP, proved too much for an inexperienced and aged side of British MPs in a T-20 match organised at the Dharamsala cricket stadium today. The wristy former Indian cricketer tossed the ball around the ground scoring 100 off just 46 balls as amateur British bowlers looked on helplessly. He hit 17 fours and two sixes. He declared himself retired hurt on the demand of other Indian MPs who were yelling from the boundary line that they should also be given a chance to bat on the lush green ground. Indian MPs won the toss and chose to bat. The match started at about 11 am. Kuldeep Bishnoi, MP from Haryana, opened the batting with Dushyant Singh. He scored 54 runs off 39 balls before being bowled by O Cellvale of the UK. Azharuddin came one down and controlled the game for Indian MPs. Anurag Thakur, HPCA president and BJP MP from Hamirpur, however, could score only 22 runs of 12 balls. The Indian MPs scored 226 runs in 20 overs. Right from the start, the British MPs failed to live to the challenge put up for them by the Indian MPs. Opener N Adams got out cheaply for just seven runs. The top scorer in the British team, A Jackman, was given a life by the Indian MPs. He started moving out of ground after being declared out by the umpire. However, Indian MPs called him back. A drama was created on the ground as Jackman wanted to go back to the pavilion, but the Indian MPs forced him back to the ground. Called back, Jackman remained the top scorer for the British team. He scored 37 runs of 29 balls with the help of five fours. The British team ended at 170 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs. Anurag Thakur took four wickets. India won the match by 56 runs. Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal, who had come specially to Dharamsala to watch the match, gave away prizes to the participants. Anurag Thakur, while addressing a press conference, said he would use cricket to improve IndiaÃÔ relations with other countries. He said in the near future a cricket match involving MPs from SAARC countries would be organised at Dharamsala.
