I enjoyed watching the 10th Dr DY Patil T20 cricket tournament at the DY Patil Stadium in Nerul over the last few days. Along with the facilities provided, the running of the tournament has been excellent — so smooth as if it’s on auto pilot! All credit to the team in charge of the event.

The quality of T20 cricket is at par, if not better than what is seen in domestic cricket. On Tuesday, Unmukt Chand and Tanmay Srivastava, playing for ONGC, stroked their way all around the ground to help their team score 207-7 in 20 overs from where they could lose only if they bowled or fielded badly.
