Left-handed batsman Arush Patankar, 15, batted confidently for an unbeaten 95 to guide IES New English School (Bandra) to a four-wicket victory over IES VN Sule Guruji (Dadar) on a tense and exciting third day of the MSSA Harris Shield inter-school cricket tournament final at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday.

“It was a pleasure batting well for this team and score runs on this ground [Wankhede]. I’m proud that we won our maiden Harris Shield title,” said Arush, who had featured in an advertisement for an energy drink with India stalwart Virat Kohli.
