It was a dream-come-true moment for differently-abled cricketers as they stepped onto the iconic Wankhede turf for the first time in the maiden Physically Disabled T20 Cricket Series match on Tuesday.

India Senior team opener Jammu & Kashmir-based Wasim Iqbal, who played a crucial role in India’s triumph in the Physical Disability T20 World Series at Worcestershire in 2019, enjoyed his batting, smashing a 24-ball 66 (4x4, 7x6) to help his team beat India ‘A’ by 83 runs. Shiva Shankara (41) and Vikrant Keni (23) played supporting roles as the team posted 170-9 in their allotted 20 overs. In reply, India ‘A’ were bundled out for a mere 87 in 16.5 overs. Left-arm spinner Ganesh Pisal claimed 4-25 for the Indian Senior team.
