'Dhonis 2011 six inspired me to take up cricket,' says Puri Titans Aashirwad Swain
Digital Desk | Kataka, Sep 26 (IANS) Aashirwad Swain drew inspiration from MS Dhonis famous 2011 World Cup-winning six and put the former India captains lessons into practice as he held his nerve to guide Puri Titans to a thrilling two-wicket win over Keonjhar Miners in the Odisha T20 League - CM Trophy at the Barabati Stadium. Chasing 141, Puri Titans were reduced to 113/8 in the 18th over and needed 15 runs from the final six deliveries. With the game slipping away, Swain kept his composure and took his team over the line. Swain said he deliberately tried to take the chase deep after observing that the ball was coming onto the bat slowly. I was trying to analyse the situation outside. The ball was coming a little late on the wicket, so this was on my mind that the deeper we go, the team in front of us will also panic. Most of the time, the plan was that I stay till the end, Swain said after the match. I believed in myself that no matter how many runs there were in the last over, I could finish it. Swain revealed that Dhonis unbeaten 91 in the 2011 ODI World Cup final, which was sealed with a six against Sri Lanka, played a major role in his decision to pursue cricket. The last six of Mahendra Singh Dhoni in 2011 became the reason for me to pick up the sport, he said. I got inspired by him. I learnt a lot from him by watching the match videos: that you have to take the game till the last over. So he has a big role. He is my inspiration. Although Swain is yet to meet his idol, Dhonis influence was evident in his approach during the tense chase as he remained focused despite wickets falling around him. The Puri Titans batter also revealed that his jersey number, 19, comes from another sporting icon, football great Lionel Messi. Im a big Messi fan also. In the early stages, he also had the No. 19 jersey, Swain said. The 19-year-old from Rourkela has had to overcome limited access to quality cricket facilities during his early years. Swain said the lack of academies and coaching options meant he had to work hard to develop his game. There were not that many academy facilities there. So I had to struggle a lot for good coaching in my childhood, he said. A significant step in his development came during the off-season when he trained with former India batter and coach Wasim Jaffer in Mumbai. Jaffer had earlier worked with the Odisha team, helping Swain establish a connection with the former India player. After a difficult previous season, Swain contacted Jaffer and was invited to Mumbai for training. My last year didnt go that well. So as soon as I messaged him, he replied that whenever you are free, come. We planned it out and had great sessions back in Mumbai, he said. The confidence that I got in the off-season by working with him, I feel really good right now. Swain also credited the Puri Titans camp for building a mindset of fighting until the final ball, regardless of the situation. From day one, we were trying to develop this culture in our camp that all the youngsters and all the seniors, whatever the situation is, we will try to get the team out of that situation, he said. We will take the match to the last. So I guess that process gave results today. I am very happy. With Dhonis composure as his inspiration, Messis No. 19 on his back and Jaffers guidance helping his development, Swain produced a match-winning finish when Puri Titans needed him most.

Odisha T20 League: Bhubaneswar Tigers edge past Keonjhar Miners by seven runs in rain-hit clash
Digital Desk | Kataka, Sep 21 (IANS) Bhubaneswar Tigers registered a seven-run win over Keonjhar Miners via the DLS method in a rain-curtailed match of the Odisha T20 League CM Trophy at the iconic Barabati Stadium in Kataka on Monday. The match was initially reduced to 15 overs per side due to a wet outfield. Bhubaneswar Tigers then posted 64/3 in seven overs before rain once again interrupted play and forced another reduction in the target. Captain and opener Swastik Samal led the Tigers charge with an aggressive knock of 42 off just 18 balls. He took the attack to the Miners bowlers and provided his side with a quick start before being dismissed. For Keonjhar, Vimal Kumar was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with figures of 2/8 from his over, while Jogeswar Bag claimed one wicket for six runs from his over. When play resumed, Keonjhar Miners were set a revised target of 48 runs from four overs. They lost Kshyama S Bal early for three off six balls, but Rajesh Dhupam and captain Subhranshu Senapati put together a 20-run partnership to keep the chase alive. Senapati was dismissed for 11 off nine balls, leaving the Miners with a challenging task in the final over. Badal Biswal was handed the ball with Keonjhar needing 18 runs from the last six deliveries at the Barabati Stadium that has hosted international fixtures. The left-arm spinner held his nerves under pressure and helped the Tigers close out the game. His composed final over earned him the Player of the Match award. Biswal received his award from Mr. Srimanta Panda, Director, Bharat Masala, while Swastik Samal was presented with the Moment of the Match award by Luv Malik, Representative, Rourkela Superstars. Reflecting on the team's performance and the support within the camp, Biswal said, Everyone in the team has been very supportive, and the atmosphere has been excellent. The coaches, captain, support staff and owners have given us a lot of confidence and made us feel that we are in it together, regardless of the result. That backing helped us stay calm, especially when we had to defend in the final four overs. Our goal is clear, we want to win this tournament.
Digital Desk | Cuttack, Sep 19 (IANS) The Odisha T20 League CM Trophy is all set to kick off on Sunday at the iconic Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. Six teams, Keonjhar Miners, Bhubaneswar Tigers, Kataka Panthers, Puri Titans, Rourkela Superstars and Sambalpur Warriors will battle it out for the ultimate glory. The Keonjhar Miners franchise sees its entry into the Odisha T20 League as an opportunity to build more than just a cricket team, with a focus on creating a strong regional identity and providing a platform for young talent from Keonjhar and across Odisha. Speaking about the vision behind the franchise, owner Manish Khemmka said, For us, the Keonjhar Miners is about much more than cricket. Keonjhar has a very strong connection with OCL and with our broader journey in Odisha, and we felt that a sporting franchise was a natural way to deepen that relationship with the region. Cricket has a unique ability to bring people together, create aspirations and give young people a platform to express themselves. Our vision is to build the Keonjhar Miners into a team that the people of Keonjhar and Odisha can genuinely identify with and feel proud of, he further said. Over time, we would like the Miners to represent three things talent, opportunity and a strong regional identity. We are looking at this as a long-term association, not simply as participation in one tournament, he further added. The franchise also believes the Odisha T20 League can play an important role in widening the pathway for young cricketers from districts outside the traditional cricketing centres. I think it is extremely important. One of the biggest strengths of a state-level league is that it creates a structured platform where young cricketers can compete in a professional environment and demonstrate their ability. Odisha has considerable cricketing talent beyond the traditional centres, and leagues like this can help widen the pathway for players from different districts. The OCA has also articulated the objective of creating opportunities for Odishas players and providing a pathway for them to progress to the next level. For us, the opportunity is particularly meaningful because the Keonjhar identity gives us a natural platform to connect with young talent from the region. We want aspiring cricketers to believe that they dont necessarily have to come from one of the traditional cricketing centres to get noticed. If they have the talent, dedication and discipline, there should be a pathway for them, he said. Looking beyond the tournament, the franchise is also keen to develop grassroots programmes and strengthen its engagement with the local community. Our ambition is to build something that lasts beyond the ten days of the tournament. The first step is to establish the Keonjhar Miners as a strong sporting identity and build a genuine connection with our supporters. Over the longer term, we would like to explore grassroots cricket programmes, talent identification camps, coaching initiatives and engagement with schools and local communities in Keonjhar and across Odisha. The objective would be to identify promising young players early and give them access to better coaching, competition and exposure, Khemmka noted. At the same time, we want the fans to feel that this is their team. That means taking the Miners beyond the cricket ground, engaging with communities, involving young people and creating experiences around the team. Ultimately, if a young boy or girl in Keonjhar starts dreaming of playing professional cricket because they saw the Keonjhar Miners, and if the community starts seeing the team as a source of pride for the region, then we would feel that we have achieved something much bigger than winning matches. That is the legacy we would like to build, he concluded.
