Ratnagiri Jets ka dum? Defending champions, bade-bade players, aur kya-kya baatein! Lekin jab baat aayi asli maidan ki, toh Satara Warriors ne unki hawa nikaal di. MPL 2025 ke Match 19 mein, barish se bhare is match mein, Satara ne 14 run se jeet haasil ki, aur woh bhi DLS method ke sahare. Ab kya hi bolein, jab barish aur Satara dono ne Jets ko ek saath dhoya!
Match shuru hua toh laga tha ki Ratnagiri Jets apne naam ke mutabik udaan bharenge. Azim Kazi, Dhiraj Phatangare jaise players ke saath unka batting line-up toh waise bhi shor machata hai. Lekin Satara Warriors, jo points table ke neeche dab rahe the, ne kamaal kar diya. Unhone Jets ko 137/8 par roka, aur yeh score bhi tab bana jab Abhishek Pawar ne 25 run ki chhoti si dhamakedaar innings kheli (10 ball mein). Warna toh Jets ke batsmen Satara ke bowlers ke aage bas thokar kha rahe the. Vaibhav Dhurgunde aur Rajvardhan Hangargekar ne apne teer chalaye, aur Jets ka top order bas dekhta reh gaya. Yeh wahi Hangargekar hai, jinhone IPL 2023 mein CSK ke liye apni pace se sabko chauka diya tha, aur yahan bhi unhone apna jalwa dikha diya.
Jab Satara batting karne aayi, toh barish ne phir apna khel shuru kar diya. 14.4 overs mein 116/4 par the Satara jab match ruk gaya. Om Bhosale, jo is season mein 182 run bana chuke hain (strike rate 154.24), aur skipper Saurabh Nawale ne team ko sambhala. Nawale toh waise bhi apne clutch performances ke liye jaane jaate hain, jaise Match 10 mein Kolhapur Tuskers ke khilaaf unki 72 run ki innings thi. Yahan bhi unhone dikhaya ki chhoti si team ke paas bhi bada dil hota hai. DLS method ke hisaab se, Satara 14 run se aage nikla, aur Jets ke muh par barish ke saath-saath thappad bhi pada.
Ab thodi taareef bhi kar dete hain. Satara Warriors ka yeh jeet unke liye ek nayi ummeed ki kiran hai. Points table mein neeche hone ke bawajood, unhone dikhaya ki cricket mein dil aur dimaag ka khel bhi kaam aata hai. Om Bhosale jaise young talent aur Hangargekar jaise fiery bowlers ke saath, Satara ne yeh bataya ki underdogs bhi kabhi-kabhi bade sher ko patak sakte hain. Yaad hai na 2007 ka T20 World Cup, jab India ne Australia jaise bade team ko hara diya tha? Waisa hi kuchh jazba Satara ke is jeet mein dikha. Unhone na sirf apne fans ka dil jeeta, balki yeh bhi dikhaya ki MPL mein koi bhi team kisi bhi din upset kar sakti hai.
Lekin, thodi si khichayi toh banta hai. Ratnagiri Jets, bhai, itna shor machaya, aur phir yeh haal? Ek match haar jaate ho, do match haar jaate ho, lekin har baar barish aur DLS ko dosh dena thodi na chalta! Ab toh playoffs ki raah bhi mushkil dikh rahi hai. Agar aise hi chala, toh defending champions ka tag toh bas ek kahani ban kar reh jayega. Aur Satara, haan jeet toh gaye, lekin points table mein abhi bhi neeche hi hain. Ek jeet se season nahi badalta, abhi lamba safar baaki hai. Dekhte hain, yeh warriors kitna aage tak lad paate hain, ya phir yeh jeet bhi ek sapna sa lagta rahega.
