Cricket club is a pioneering cricket club of HSR Layout, Bangalore. Governed
by a set of well equipped disciplinary ethics
under active care of extremely potential and
professional governing body, it is a full member

The Sri Jagannath Cricket club is currently
ranked among the top cricketing bodies by the
leading cricket teams across Bangalore. As of

more than 40 different sets of opponent teams

SJCC team is being captained by another talented

the leadership of Captain, the Sri Jagannath
cricket club has set an all time record for most
back-to-back match wins (19 consecutive wins in

formidable teams in cricket.
Although cricket was gifted to man kind by
European merchant sailors in the 18th-century
and the first cricket club in India was
established in Calcutta in 1792, but since then
every nukes and corners of India have seen a
evolutionary revolution of enthusiasm among
young Indians for this game. Inspired by the
legendary eminent personalities of Indian
cricket, we too started as a budding spirit with
handful number of enthusiasts, but popped up
gradually into another almighty team in our
neighborhood vicinity. In our first few matches,
we might have not proved the best of our
potentials, but soon we struggled and gained
those tactical strategic leading edges over our
most toughest opponents gradually with the
emergence of ultimate players .
Apart from their professional life and career in
IT industries, these guys have managed to spend
a bit of their personal hours in architecting
this organization.
Traditionally much stronger at home ground than
abroad during earlier day, today the Sri
Jagannath cricket club has improved its overseas
form since the start of 2010. It won Fusion T12
tournament in Dec 2009 and was runners-up in
Fusion T15 cup during march 2010 under
captainship of another extremely talented man. It also won the inaugural
T10 during early 2009. The current team contains
many of the leading players from across
corporate sectors, including best of the breeds
like the ones of current date along with the regular set of great
old champions who hold numerous cricketing
records on their names.
Over the years our cricket team has now matured
enough to take credit for creating its own
eternal personalities, who will continue to live
years after their mortal passing . To this day,
the rocket shots, cover drive, the leg glance invented by
our guys, spectacular spells, the incredible
fielding, the
inimitable style of Billy Bowden signaling a
boundary or a sixer, all these are etched in the
portals of immortality.
So here are another set of legendary cricketers
in open. |
