Cricket League Sees Advith, Chandra, Aaron, Shakeer Hit Double Tons
On Monday, cricket players in Hyderabad played league matches.
In cricket, a "double hundred" means a batter scored 200 or more runs in one innings, which is a very big deal.
Four players were so good that they scored double hundreds.
Advith Reddy made 256 runs for his team, Team Speed.
Narra Chandra scored 238 runs without getting out.
Mohammed Ahmed Shakeer and T Aaron Paul each scored 207 runs.
Because the batsmen scored so many runs, their teams made enormous totals, like Team Speed's 746 runs.
Good bowlers took five wickets each in several games.
Many other players scored about 100 runs, which is called a century.
It was a wonderful day for batting in the Hyderabad cricket league.
Advith Reddy smashed 256 off 148 balls for Team Speed, whose 746/8 in 90 overs was the day's biggest total in the 'B' Division.
Narra Chandra hit an unbeaten 238 for Warangal District, while Mohammed Ahmed Shakeer and T Aaron Paul each made 207.
In the 'A' Division, Rahul Radhesh top-scored with 167 for MP Colts and Dheeraj Goud struck 161 for Deccan Wanderers.
Imperial posted the 'A' Division's highest total of 459, powered by S. Loknath Naik's rapid 130.
Several bowlers took five-wicket hauls, including Md Muqeeth Uddin and Vamshi Krishna Nunnagoppula, who both claimed 6/47.
