Meanwhile, the players took their respective places as marshaled by Sriram- the fielding team captain. In came the openers from Afzal team, Ram at striker’s end and Ravi at the non-striker’s end. Vikram started the proceedings officially by uttering “the game begins” in his usual shrill tone.  Afzal team started off things well maintaining a healthy run rate throughout the middle overs, despite losing quick wickets in the middle overs managed to make full use of the chances that were offered by Sriram’s team.  At last Afzal’s team managed to put 114 from 12 overs  on the board-an achievable if not an impossible total by all means.

Then came the turn of Sriram’s team to give a fitting reply to the huge target posted by Afzal team. This time the openers were Sadappa taking guard at one end and Linga reddy as his partner. Things started well until Sadappa found the fielder in long on off the bowling of Noor.  Then came our captain of the batting team and CEO of our company Mr.Sriram to the crease.  He managed to pile up some quick runs until the bye runner for Sriram ran him out in trying to take a quick single.  Despite being offered too many extras in the form of wides, Sriram’s team had only managed 90 runs from their allotted overs.  Afzal team won and stood as the deserving team.

One thing is for sure that in events such as these, employees earn themselves a deserving break from the hectic work and get to know about their colleagues from close quarters.  So thanks to all iridiumites for making this event a grand success proving that they are game for anything.
