Prateek - 5.5
Bowled one over that went for a few runs. Fielding was good with a few good stops. Batted well while there was an aggressive batsman opposite him, but failed when trying to push the scoring rate. Needs to wrap his head around coach's advice of just trying to time the ball.
Umair - 4
Disappointed with the ball, but bowled a couple of good ones in between. Fielding was decent with a nice catch at the boundary. Was thrown in to open the batting. Batted decently before he was cleaned up by a straight one.
Rakesh - 4
Stellar with the ball, decent in the field. His deceptive pace seems to be a problem for a lot of batsmen. Batsmen seem to find him hard to read and he is taking advantage of it by bowling a good length. Batting was disappointing with him playing back to a pitched up inswinger and getting bowled. Better is expected from a quality batsman.
Dalip - 8
Was ok in the field, no blemishes, but a little slow off the blocks. Took a decent catch. Batting was terrific. Made a near chanceless 57 and deflated the opposition. Did exactly what the team needs him to do, except carrying on to get a big one. Shot selection and placement was great.
Atif - 3
Slow in the field, decent but not effective with the ball. Needs to realize that he is one of the senior players when playing with the Titans A squad. Kept playing back to the spinner and that led to his dismissal for 7 runs.
Bala - 4
Bowling was average and he knows he is capable of doing better. Needs more control over his swing so he can control the ball better and bowl according to the field. His batting looks good technique wise, but needs more practice before he can make big contributions.
Jacob - 7
Good effort and spirits in the field throughout. made very few mistakes, and was involved in the game throughout. His batting was a revelation as he clubbed a couple of sixes. There is potential here and Jacob is doing well to develop it.
Gowtham - 3.5
Decent with the ball, bowled alright after starting off wayward. Not a good fielding performance as he was caught off-position multiple times and dropped a rather straightforward boundary catch, due to lack in concentration. Batted with a straight bat and that is a posetive sign.
Dilshan - 6
Had a bit of a rough day with byes running past him and missing a stumping chance, but showed a lot of potential and development on his first outing as a keeper. Did a good number of the basics right and repeated mistakes due to a couple of technical defects. Batting was ok as he middled the ball a couple of times, needs to watch the ball more closely.
Akhil V - 7
Good performance with the ball. Bowled with good flight, but not enough variations. When the batsman started picking him, he became easier to play for them. Still maintained his length pretty well. Batting was ok as he looked to get behind the ball.
Akhil K - 3.5
It was his first game after a long time and that showed in his performance. Has potential to be a good bowler. Dropped a catch on the 30 yard circle. His batting is pretty decent and he can turn into an all rounder with some coaching and practice.
