12 December 2010, IISc Gymkhana Ground, Bangalore: A red hot IISc nonchalantly dismissed a clueless V.V.Puram Cricket Club for a paltry 119 and then chased it down with close to 30 overs to spare. This has to count among one of their most comprehensive victories in recent past.
V.V.Puram were put in by Sounik and were off to a swift start dealing mostly in boundaries most of them over the slip cordon. But once Varun gave the first breakthrough, it was simply one-way traffic. Teja (3/51), Varun (4/25) and Lalit (3/7) ensured an early lunch for all the players. Despite a couple of dropped chances, IISc's catching was largely impressive and at times spectacular.
In pursuit of an easy target, Salil and Lalit recorded their second consecutive fifty run opening stand. Salil in particular was unstoppable with his wide gamut of sweetly timed strokes making 53 in 34 balls. A few quick wickets fell but IISc cantered home comfortably in the end with the winning runs rightly coming of the blade of the man of the match Varun Raturi.
