Trinity scripted a remarkable comeback to lift the Maharashtra Cricket Association U14 Invitations 2025 title, avenging last year’s heartbreak when they missed the trophy by just a single run. This time, Trinity left no room for doubt, defeating Ambitious Cricket Academy on first innings lead in the two-day final and sealing the championship in dominant fashion.
The victory also marked an extraordinary milestone for the team as Trinity completed an 11-match winning streak this season, underlining their consistency and competitive edge at the highest level of age-group cricket in the state.
The final witnessed standout individual brilliance. Vivaan Hansalia rose to the big occasion with a magnificent century, anchoring the innings with composure and class. With the ball, Arnav Dhaware delivered an impressive spell that kept the opposition under constant pressure. Strong support came from Bhujang Dulgude, whose all-round contribution added depth and balance to the team’s performance.
Speaking after the triumph, Sourabh Jagdale reflected on Trinity’s sustained success. He highlighted that the team has now won 29 out of their last 31 matches over the past four years, calling it an outstanding run built on discipline and process. He praised the season-long performances of Vivaan, Reyansh, Bhujang, and Manthan, while singling out Vivaan for special mention after scoring three centuries in three consecutive knockout matches. According to Jagdale, maintaining such consistency is never easy, but Trinity’s rigorous player selection process allows the coaching staff to work with the best talent Maharashtra has to offer.
The championship-winning campaign was powered by a group of outstanding performers who consistently delivered across the season. Vivaan Hansalia led from the front with a phenomenal all-round effort, amassing 844 runs and 42 wickets, establishing himself as one of the most impactful players of the tournament. Bhujang Dhulgude provided solidity and firepower with the bat, scoring 556 runs, while Reyansh Mundhada followed closely with 526 runs, playing several crucial innings under pressure. On the bowling front, Manthan Shinde spearheaded the attack with 44 wickets, supported strongly by Arnav Dhaware, who picked up 38 wickets, forming a lethal bowling unit that repeatedly dismantled oppositions throughout the season.
Beyond numbers and trophies, the win also showcased the strong culture nurtured by Jagdale Sports Foundation and Trinity. Players shared that the final felt surprisingly comfortable, with no pressure from the coaches. They credited the friendly and open environment, where coaches act more like mentors and friends, listening to every player and involving the entire team in match strategies. This trust-driven approach, they believe, played a key role in turning the final into a one-sided contest decided by a big margin.
With a championship reclaimed, an unbeaten streak intact, and a culture that prioritizes both performance and people, Trinity’s triumph stands as a powerful example of how the right environment can consistently produce champions.
