Sundararaghavan Cricket Trophy -08:
In a land of cultural and social diversity, cricket is one of the important reasons that unify the diverse yet so passionate people of this country. Cricket not only unifies the people but also conceals the man made differences that are present in this country. Cricket’s influence on the students of BIM is no different.
The Sundaragavan Cricket Trophy was held between 21st January and 29th January 2008. This 9 day cricketing extravaganza not only unleashed the cricketing skills of the players but also helped the neo –managers to relax from their tight academic schedule. The event was conducted by SPORTSCOM (the student committee responsible for organizing sports events in the institution) with good support from the management and BHEL staff who helped in organizing the tournament.
The tournament involved 9 teams in the Men’s category and 2 teams in the Women’s category. The scores were electronically recorded and were provided to the participating captains. After intense rivalries, close calls and last over sixes, the final (Men) was played on 29th January between two of the most gifted and passionate teams, the RDX and the Pokkiris. It was a match that defined the general theme of the tournament and was worthy of a final. The Pokkiris emerged winners in a closely fought match with just 2 balls to spare.
The ladies final was played on the same day between Halla-bol and Chak de bim. This match again was a close encounter where Halla-bol won the match with one ball to spare.
The tournament finally ended with the presentation ceremony where awards were given to manager-players who reveled in the tournament with excellent performances. Sporting tournaments like the Sundaragavan Cricket Trophy not only increase the competitive nature of the players but also indicate the true value of teamwork and sportsmanship which are indeed a very important asset for any individual especially managers. The Sundaragavan Cricket Trophy was played with good sportsmanship and upheld the true spirit of the game and is well and truly the crown jewel of the intra-collegiate events conducted in BIM.
