Vidarbha Pro T20 League: Giving players freedom is key to success, says NECO Master Blaster's Jitesh Sharma
Master Blaster's batter Jitesh Sharma feels that the freedom given to young players has been a defining factor in the team's resurgence and overall performance in the ongoing Vidarbha Pro T20 League. NECO Master Blaster have qualified for the semi-final of the Vidarbha Pro T20 League and are raring to go. After losing the first match, NECO Master Blaster won three matches on trot to make a comeback. Aryan Meshram has been the standout performer, smashing three half-centuries and anchoring crucial wins for the side. Alongside him, R Sanjay has also made significant contributions, helping the team stay consistent with the bat. Speaking after the team's qualification for the knockouts, Jitesh said, 'When you give freedom to the talent, this is what happens. Aryan Meshram is one such example. That's why giving freedom to juniors and upcoming players is important – so that they can enjoy the game and express themselves on the field.' Reflecting on the team's mindset, Jitesh added, 'I've told my teammates – go and enjoy on the field. If you love hitting sixes, go hit sixes from the first ball. It doesn't matter if you get out. I'm proud of my batters for the way they've responded to this approach.' However, while the batting has flourished under this fearless style of play, Jitesh acknowledged that bowling remains an area of concern. 'One thing we need to work on is our bowling. As we head into the semi-finals, it's important we tighten up in that department,' he said.

Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], June 9 (ANI): R Sanjay starred with the ball while Aryan Meshram and Adhyayan Daga smashed fifties as NECO Master Blaster defeated Nagpur Heroz by 14 runs in the Vidarbha Pro T20 League.

The duo stitched together a solid partnership that laid the foundation for a big total. Middle-order cameos from R Sanjay (20 off 16), skipper Jitesh Sharma (16 off 9), and Addhyan Rauthan (9 off 6) kept the momentum going. Kartik Rathod provided fireworks at the end with a blistering 15 off just four balls, including two sixes. Despite losing a few wickets in the death overs, Neco Master Blaster closed strongly with 199/6 on the board. Chasing a daunting target of 200, Nagpur Heroz put up a valiant effort but ultimately fell short by 15 runs, finishing at 185/9 in their 20 overs against a well-disciplined Neco Master Blaster bowling attack. Siddhesh Wath provided a solid start at the top, scoring 51 off 35 balls with three boundaries and two sixes. He was supported by Parth Rekhade, who played a brisk knock of 39 off just 23 balls, keeping the chase alive in the middle overs before eventually losing the match. R Sanjay was the standout bowler for Neco Master Blaster, picking up five crucial wickets to derail Nagpur Heroz's chase. Despite the late-order resistance, the asking rate proved too steep, and Heroz ended their innings at 185/9, falling just short of the mark. (ANI)
