Knight Riders Cricket Club 2nd XI v 2nd Gordonians on Sat 15 Aug 2026 at 1 PM
Knight Riders Cricket Club Won 2nd Knight Riders won by 29 runs

Match report 2nd Knight Riders secured a solid 29-run win over Gordonians in this Grade 2, Round 16 One Day fixture at Groats Road on 15 August 2026, despite losing the toss and being asked to bowl first... wait, actually being asked to field first while batting first themselves (Gordonians won the toss and chose to field).

Batting first, the Knight Riders got off to a shaky start, slipping to 23/3 inside the first few overs as Shivendra Chouksey ran through the top order. Skipper Vidhyasagar Vivekanandan then anchored the innings with a composed 40 off 65 balls, rebuilding alongside Dhanesh Kumar Santhana Kumar (19) before a brisk cameo from Raghavendra Reddy (27 off 22) and Jerome Richard Jeyaseelan (21 off 21) added late impetus. A blistering unbeaten 31 off just 21 balls, studded with four sixes, from Nikhil Chaudhari at the death propelled the Knight Riders to a competitive 203 all out in 34.1 overs.

In defence of that total, the bowling attack shared the wickets around well, with Manicka Raj Rajan, Rajaguru Nataraj and Balaji Selvaraj each picking up two scalps to keep chipping away at the Gordonians' order. Gordonians got a challenge going through Kruba Shankar's fighting 52 and useful contributions from Shravan Aravind and Gaurav Singh, but sharp fielding, including two catches taken by Vidhyasagar, and disciplined bowling restricted them to 174 all out in 34.5 overs, sealing a 29-run victory for the Knight Riders.

Vidhyasagar Vivekanandan was named Man of the Match for his key knock of 40 and sharp fielding, taking two catches to help wrap up the Gordonians' innings.
