Every time medium-pacer Sylvester D’Souza picks up a wicket, he points skywards and also his back to jersey No. 18. No, not to show he is the Virat Kohli of Triumph Knights Mumbai North East (TKMNE) but, “It's just that the universe is going to take care and I'm here,” in his words.

On Monday, the 27-year-old D’Souza produced the best-ever bowling figures in T20 Mumbai League to shine in Triumph Knights Mumbai North East’s (TKMNE) first win after three defeats. He took 5-21 in 3.5 overs to bowl out defending champions Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals (MSCMR) for 152 at Wankhede.
