Ayush Jethwa's magnificent knock of 173 which came off just 160 deliveries, helped Swami Vivekanand International School (Borivli) declare their first innings at 373-6 against Don Bosco (Matunga) in the Giles Shield Elite division league, third round at Islam Gymkhana yesterday. Put into bat, Swami Vivekanand opened with Swaroop Walanju and Rajsingh Deshmukh who put on 46 runs. Swaroop departed after being stumped by Aarya Chowkidar off a Chris D'Britto delivery. Ayush joined Rajsingh at the crease and both smashed the Bosco bowlers with a flurry of boundaries and sixes. They put on 153 runs for the second wicket. Rajsingh smashed 16 fours and one six but was unlucky to miss out on a century as he was bowled for 99.
