CLOSING CEREMONY

We've been through three formats, numerous matches, mind-boggling innings, nail-biting finishes, towering sixes, and thunderous spells, and we finally come to the close of an incredible season of cricket, as we saw four teams battle for the top spot, in which the Royal Mavericks emerged victorious in two formats, whilst the Lannisters winning one.

I welcome you all to the closing ceremony for

THE PLANET CRICKET LEAGUE
SEASON 2

-x-


First of all, I would like to thank @Ohm , @Salman. and @RUDI who helped in making the league enjoyable for all of us. Also, I thank, the brains and the boss of all this, @The Real Modi for his immense contribution to this league.

I am your host, Yash Hirani, and let's start with the presentation ceremony...

batting.png

To start off the awards for tonight, we're gonna go ahead with the Golden Bat Award, for the Highest Run Scorers of the league.

Let's start with the T20 Format...

Babar-1.jpg
I'd like to call upon Talha Hayat (@CerealKiller ) for receiving T20 Golden Bat award.
He was unbeatable in the T20 arena as he made 354 runs in 6 innings at an average of 70.80. In the 6 innings he batted in, not once was he dismissed before 50... Take that for consistency...

He'll be receiving 20 Million vCash for his sublime performance in the league.

--

Next up is the 40 over format...

16kingkohli.jpg
Van Divine (@VDQuint ) completely obliterates the opponents in this award, as he was miles ahead of every other batsman in the 40 over format, amassing 485 runs from 9 innings at an average of a whopping 80.83. As a comparison, the next best batsman in the format scored 417 runs in the same innings, so yeah that's dominance.

--

For the First Class Format now,

viratkohli-1585846745.jpg

Hold up there Van, as you gotta receive this award too. Once again, he tops the batting charts with 892 runs at an average of 59.47. Super stuff from this batting stalwart.

Next up in the awards, we're have the Golden Ball Award, for the Highest Wicket Takers of the league.

Let's start with the T20 Format...

6perry_sixers.jpg
I'd like to call upon the pace queen for the Lannisters, Bellatrix Lestrange as she picked up 10 wickets in the T20 smash, leading the way for the Lannisters in the bowling department!

Another Lannisters' bowler ruled in the other Limited Overs format, as Mark Kkkk (@Markkkkk ) ruled the bowling charts with 15 wickets as he took the Lannisters to the final, where the lost by the tiniest of margins. Come on up Mark! You've made sure that the spinners get enough credit in this batsmen dominated season of TPCL!

Missing the Golden Ball in the 40 over arena by just a wicket, Mukesh Ambani wins the award in the First Class leg, taking as many as 39 wickets, as he ran through batting lineups with his swing and seam!

While batting and bowling is always remembered, people do seem to forget the effect of good fielding on the game of cricket. We don't.

Next up is the Best Fielder Award!

In the T20 smash, Mogambo showcased his excellent fielding skills as he finished with 4 catches, being the highest catch taker of the tournament! I'd like him to come up on the stage, and receive the trophy and cheque.

--

Another guy from the Lannisters ends up as the highest catch taker in the 40 over format, as Lalit Kumar Modi (@The Real Modi ) ended up with 8 catches in the tournament. Their fielding coach, Jonty Rhodes would be pretty happy!

--

AP-APTOPIX-Sri-Lanka-India-.jpg

In the First Class arena, Gokul Raj Kamaraj (@Gokulraj Kamaraj ) proved his worth, not only with his batting but also with his sharp catching as he took as many as 20 catches in the field throughout the tournament to finish the highest catch taker in the First Class Leg! I'd like him to step up to the stage to receive the award!

PEOPLE'S PLAYER OF THE SEASON!

The People's Player of the Season award is awarded to the most worthy (and popular) players, selected by voting from the players participating. These were awarded for their performances in the League Stages of the Season only.



--

Babar-Azam-2.jpg

Talha Hayat
(@CerealKiller )

T20 People's Player of The Season

Rightly voted so, Talha Hayat was unstoppable during the whole of the T20 smash, as no bowler would be spared by him. He smashed runs at will and with such consistency, that he never made a score below 50. He won the poll convincingly, gathering 11 votes, while the next best gathered only 2.


south2bafrica2bv2bnew2bzealand2bicc2bt202bworld2bcup2bg168kbwuswfl.jpg

Et Cetra
(@asprin )
LIMITED OVERS People's Player of the Season

Et Cetra was the second highest run scorer of the LO leg of TPCL, going into the finals, scoring runs at a strike rate above 100, and averaging a whopping 109.33. He was the match winner for Lannisters in numerous occasions, and played a great role in them qualifying for the finals. He won the poll by just a single vote as he got 5 votes compared to 4 received by Van Divine.


1565046043411.jpg
Manish Reddy
(@Manish. )

FIRST CLASS People's Player of the Season

I mean, come on. We all knew he was going to be the one winning this. 38 wickets in 6 matches, playing 4 of those on flat decks where scoring 400+ was the norm, no one came close to the performance he showed with the ball. Just legendary stuff. Add to that his 146 runs and 4 catches...

Best XI of the Season

We saw amazing individual performances this season as players performed from strength to strength, showing their skills. Thus, choosing the best 11 players from the tournament was quite tricky for all of the management. Irrespective of who was chosen, all of us are the Best Players of the season as we came together to make this a successful one!


The best XI was formed by factoring in, the performances of the players over ALL THREE FORMATS.

Let's start the Best XI with the opening batsmen!


--

1. GOKUL RAJ KAMARAJ
ROYAL MAVERICKS

@Gokulraj Kamaraj

Gokul Raj Kamaraj was undisputedly the best opening batsman in this season of TPCL, as he gave quick starts to his team in every format while also making huge scores. While he did good in the Limited Overs formats, his real talents were shown in the Longer Format, as he piled up 891 runs in the First Class Leg, finishing second in the highest run scorers list by just 1 run. He hit as many as 9 50+ scores in 16 innings, as he was one of the biggest reasons of the dominance of the Royal Mavericks in First Class.

Team1.jpg

2. DON HAMZA
XTREME REBELZ

@Hamza2000

Choosing the second opening batsman was a tough task with so many great contenders, such as Ali Bubere and Undecided Flaj. However, Don Hamza was ahead of them owing to just one thing... His ability to score irrespective of format. Don Hamza kept on piling runs for his team, as he finished in the Top 6 Run Scorers of EVERY FORMAT. Still, his best performance came in the 40 Over Leg, as he ended up as the highest run scorer of the League Stages, finishing on a staggering 348 runs in just 6 innings, batting at an average of 69.6.

Best XI of the Season

Now we head on to the middle order batsmen. It was fairly easy to choose them as these three were a class apart from all the other middle order batsmen in the league.

3. VAN DIVINE
ROYAL MAVERICKS
@VDQuint



Van Divine was unstoppable. No team could stop him from scoring runs, as he reached the top of the batting charts in both the First Class and the 40 Over Formats, amassing more than 1600 runs throughout the league. His best was in the 40 over format, as he took a liking to the Lannisters bowling lineup, making both the highest scores of the LO leg, against them. Deservingly, his side finished as the eventual winners.

team3.jpg

4. LALIT KUMAR MODI
LANNISTERS
@The Real Modi

Lalit Kumar Modi came into the TPCL as the most experienced batsman, and he showed his worth, taking his side to finals in two out of three formats. He batted like a legend in all the formats, but once again his domination and experience was proved in the 40 over arena, where he made 417 runs in 9 innings, finishing second to just Van Divine in the highest run scorers list. However, he'll be gutted that he couldn't take his side to victory in the LO format.

team9.jpg

5. GAYLE STORM
ROYAL MAVERICKS
@Pinch hitter

If you're playing the Mavericks, beware of the Gayle Storm! Picked up during the drafts, Gayle Storm proved to be one of the most valuable players for the Royal Mavericks, as he usually played fast and counter-attacking cricket, putting all teams on the back foot. He finished 4th in the FC and 2nd in the T20 run scorers list. In T20s, he finished second only to Talha Hayat, and was instrumental in taking the Mavericks to the final.

Best XI of the Season

Now to the lower order and the wicket keeper...


6. DIKSHANSH DARSHAN (WK)
ROYAL MAVERICKS
@Life Warrior

The sole wicket-keeper in the Mavericks squad, Dikshansh Darshan played all the matches for his team, and performed as well as any proper batsman. He was also in the leadership crew of the team, as he was the vice-captain in the 40 Overs leg, and was captain at the start of the FC leg, before stepping down after the mid season to focus on his batting. And that switch was the turning point for him, as he racked up two consecutive centuries in the next two matches, and ending up at no. 6 on the highest run scorers of the First Class Leg.


team4.jpg

7. YASH HIRANI
ROYAL MAVERICKS


The most expensive buy at the auction, Yash Hirani proved the worth of every penny he got, by his all round performances throughout the season. His bowling was one of the main weapons for the Mavericks as he ended up with 7 wickets in 9 matches in LO and 22 wickets in 14 innings in FC. His pinnacle came in the first final of the First Class Leg, as he racked up 80 runs in the match, while also taking the match figures of 6/151. He ended up with the highest MVP points among all the all rounders in the league.
