Nagpur, Jan 28 Former India cricketer and present Mumbai Ind talent scout, Kiran More on Saturday said that it's very important to nurture talent from an early age.More, who was also the Chairman of selectors for the Indian cricket team from 2002 to 2006, made the comments at the finals of the Nagpur leg for the month-long MI Junior inter-school cricket tournament, which was played at the Central Railways Cricket Ground, Ajni.Doing a grand double, Shri Rajendra High School, Kothi Road won the Girls U-15 and Boys U14 city championship titles while Aspire International School, Wardha Road clinched the Boys U16 trophy.As per the organisers, the third edition of the MI Junior inter-school cricket tournament, which was played across some of the iconic grounds in the city, engaged with over 60 teams with close to 1000 boys and girls participating across three age groups of Boys U14, Girls U15 and Boys U16."It is extremely encouraging to see the response and excitement of schools to participate in the tournament. It is extremely important to nurture young talent and I believe MI Junior gives them a competitive and professional platform to showcase their skills," said More before handing over the trophies to the winners."I congratulate all the winners of the Nagpur leg and hope that they make a mark or themselves and bring more laurels," he added.The winning teams are now all set to train and gain invaluable knowledge under the guidance of a member of the Mumbai Ind coaching team.In the Girls' U-15 final, the Shri Rajendra team posted an imposing target of 237, without losing any wickets in their stipulated 20 overs, to set up an emphatic 203 victory over St. Joseph's Convent Girls High School, Mohan Nagar.The opening pair of Sanskruti Sant (120 not out) and Kuntal Sharma (71 not out) tore into St. Joseph's bowling attack, to take a commanding position at the halfway stage. Chasing a challenging total, St. Joseph managed to score just 34 runs with Sanskruti Sant shining with the ball as well, picking three wickets (3-6).In the Boy's U-14 final too, Shri Rajendra's team romped to a convincing 8-wicket victory over Podar International School, Besa.Riding on superb bowling performances from Sanay Shende (3 for 16), Karan Ninawe (3 for 31) and Mimoh Meshram (2 for 19), Rajendra side bundled out the Besa boys for 119 in 36.5 overs. Radhe Mahadane (35) was the lone warrior for Podar. Aaryan Nagpure (50) and Priyanshu Jachak (26) then took Shri Rajendra past the target in just 34.5 overs.Meanwhile, the Boys Under-16 final was also a one-sided affair with Aspire International School, Wardha Road racing to a nine-wicket win.Opting to bowl first, Aspire bowled out Centre Point School, Dabhas to 122 in 37.2 overs courtesy of impressive bowling by the trio of Aryan Singh (2 for 16), Shreenav Tekade (2 for 12) and Devesh Kumar (2 for 27). The likes of Nakuul Chhokra (33 not out) and Addhyan Rauthan (20) were the main contributors to the Centre school team.In reply, Wicket-keeper Vivek Yadav notched up an unbeaten 78 to give Aspire the coveted crown. They lost just one wicket in the process, with Aryan Singh also contributing with his 28 not out.Notably, MI Junior is an initiative conceptualized by Mumbai Ind owner Nita Ambani, who has been the flag bearer of promoting sports as part of the educational curriculum and has been spearheading various grassroots sports initiatives through Reliance Foundation including ESA (Education and Sports for All).Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
