Velociraptors Cricket Team

In BIM, the team ‘Velociraptors’ is synonymous with Cricket. What separates our team from the rest is the passion and love for the game of Cricket. We won the 3rd place in last year’s SRCT cricket tournament. That’s a little bit disappointing considering the big names in the team. We’ve also participated in Volleyball and Football tournaments even though none of us played those games before. Velociraptors’ unity is others’ envy. We’ve always prided in sticking to the same team for all tournaments. Once a raptor, always a raptor.

Captain: Saranyan

Also called as ‘paapa’, he is one of the best batsmen in BIM. He can play every shot in the book. He is a very reliable batsman with a good technique and a sharp cricketing brain. He leads the team by example, and has won a lot of girls’ hearts with his stylish fielding. He is also the coach of girls’ cricket team. He captains the team in all 3 games (cricket, volleyball & football).

Pravin R.B
‘Poor man’s Agarkar’ is a term that would best define him. A good bowler on his day and a handy batsman. If you see someone tirelessly bowling for hours together in the evening (at BIM), then it is him. He is an integral member in all 3 games.

Prasad:
A decent batsman and a useful bowler, Prasad has the ability to lift the team’s spirits with sudden bursts of brilliance in the cricket field. Captain’s trump card when he is used in short bursts.

Partha Majumder:
He is affectionately called as Mr.Cricket and a star for the Velociraptors. He plays all 3 games, though cricket is his forte. As a token of love, the Velociraptor’s dedicated their 3rd place in SRCT to Partho as he missed a few matches due to illness. He is the man to watch out for this year.

Yokesh: Shows flashes of brilliance. He once scored a half-century in 10 balls.

Navin Kumar : Rock solid batsman who idolizes Ricky Ponting. Master of off-side like Ganguly. Holds the dubious record of 6 continous ducks. But, he was the man in form for Velociraptors for SRCT '10

Venkadesh: An useful pace bowler who can also spin the ball prodigiously. If he masters the art of spin, the he could become a champ.

Vignesh: His batting is style personified. Useful spin bowler who is used as an attackin option by the captain.

Rajkumar: Has been with the team all through the first year. Proud of this guy because of his commitment and affection for the team.

Rakesh Singh: Stylish batsman who also bowls medium pace. Has been an integral part of the team in all 3 games.

Padmaselvan: An attacking fast bowler who wears his heart in his sleeve.

Varun Deepak: An useful allrounder, who sometimes annoys the captain with his carelessness.

Aravinth: More than his batting and bowling, its his comedy quotient that benefits the team.

Kranthi: Teams Wicket keeper and an attacking opening batman. Invents bizzare ways to get himself out.

Abhishek Mukherjee: An useful bowler known for his accurate medium pace bowling.

Eves : These girls deserve a special mention. They've been a pillar of support for our team.
