Domestic cricket player's triple century blast
Indian domestic cricket player Mohit Ahlawat is a player to watch, finishing on 300 from 72 balls in a T20 match.
"Yes, I have put my name in IPL auction but I am not sure if this knock will help make people notice me," he said to ABP Live after scoring his triple ton.
"The attack was good but after seeing off the new ball, I decided to just bat aggressively and was really timing the ball well.
"I saw the scoreboard, and I was nearing my 200 with five overs to go, so I decided to go for the kill.
"I reached 250 with just two overs to go, I told my partner, 'let me try if I can make 300', and I got 30 off the last over."
Ahlawat's innings helped Maavi to a total of 2/416 from 20 overs.

Ahlawat's innings which included 39 sixes and 14 fours betters that of Dhanuka Pathirana who hammered 277 in a T20 match for Lancashire a decade ago, and is believed to be a record in the shortest form of the game.
The wicketkeeper batsman will be one of almost 800 players in this month's IPL auction pool, joining the likes of Big Bash stars Pat Cummins, Mitchell Johnson, Nathan Lyon and Brad Haddin.
Only a maximum of 76 players will be purchased by the eight IPL franchises, less than 10 per cent of the original player pool available.
