By Ravi Madholall in Toronto

Sensational left-handed batsman Avish Rukhram slammed a record-breaking 237 for Steel City Warriors in the latest round of the 2016 Ontario Round-arm Softball Cricket Association (ORSCA) 20-over competition.
Capitalising marvellously against a seven-member, hapless Panthers team, the Canadian-based Guyanese smacked 24 sixes and 11 fours during his 91-ball memorable occupation at the crease.
He also shared a magnificent 336-run second-wicket stand with his elder brother and opener Amit Rukhram who only contributed an unbeaten 22 as Avish displayed an epic batting performance at the Mohawk Ice Centre ground in Hamilton.

Their team compiled a gigantic 342-2 from the allotment of 20-overs while Panthers only responded with 68-6 in the 15th over. Avish began his assault at number three after the first wicket fell with 6 runs on the scoreboard.
Avish continued from last year’s historical season having accumulated 1, 040 runs from 14 matches including three centuries. On his way to 237, he surpassed his previous best of 201 not out.
These astonishing, mind-boggling innings and tally of over one thousands runs are certainly precursors for a great career. Additionally, his batting prowess has captured the attention of softball fans across the Greater Toronto Area.
In an invited comment, Avish expressed delight and thrill to create history again so far with a double-ton on his home turf in Hamilton.
“I [am] delighted and happy to make another double-hundred and I am looking forward to continue so we can win the season again,” Avish
