Aditya Javvaji struck a fine century to help Hyderabad begin their Vinoo Mankad Trophy campaign on a rousing 189-run win over Manipur at the Sanosara Cricket Ground A in Rajkot on Thursday.
Hyderabad made merry with the bat as they posted 334 for five on the board and then the bowlers took charge of the proceedings as Manipur were bowled out for 155.
Batting first, openers Aditya Javvaji and P Advith Reddy (9) made merry as they duo scored 64 off 55 balls with Aditya doing the bulk of the scoring. Aditya made 50 off 34 balls while Reddy contributed 9 off 21 balls before falling to S Kaiku Meetei.
Aditya was joined by Shaik Rehaan Roshan and they piled on the runs though the scoring rate had fallen a bit. The duo scored 89 off 107 runs with Aditya contributing 57 off 53 balls before retiring hurt. Rehaan made 31 off 54 in the partnership.
Aditya faced 87 balls and scored 107 with nine fours and six sixes.

After Aditya’s departure, Rehaan took charge and with Arhaan Satwalekar (25) for company, he added 76 off 71 balls for the third wicket. Rehaan made a quickfire 45-ball 55 in the partnership while Arhaan contributed a sedate 16 off 26 balls. Rehaan scored 86 off 99 balls with six fours and four sixes.

Chasing a formidable score, Manipur were nowhere in the contest as the Hyderabad bowlers kept a tight leash on the rivals. Parth Sharma struck the first blow when he had Ishorchandra (1) caught by Ved Reddy.
