A DOUBLE FIFTY

FOR

SUDARSHAN

Congratulations to Sudarshan Devkota, who brought up his 50-wicket milestone for Moonee Valley on February 15 - just a month after notching his 50th game for our club.
Sudy has been with Moonee Valley since he walked in off the street in 2021/22, and while he lives out to the west and drives past multiple clubs to get here each week, he's stayed loyal.
He has been a mainstay in the Sunday Fourths this season, while also putting his hand up for an occasional double-up match in the Fifths.
Sudy brought up his 50th wicket in style in the home game against Brunswick, clean bowling the opening bat to break a 44-run partnership.
He then took the last three wickets in the space of two runs to wrap up the innings to finish with figures of 4/39.
At right: Sudarshan Devkota celebrates his 50th wicket with sons Swatit and Swakrit. 

Sudarshan's journey into cricket is via an unusual pathway, as he was born in Nepal - not regarded as a traditional cricket country.
But he enjoys his cricket, moreso as his two sons Swatit and Swakrit attend every game with him - sometimes watching Dad, but just as likely to be finding something to play on, to have an adventure in the park or to enjoy the afternoon teas.
The two boys are a welcome part of Moonee Valley - and are proud of their Dad.
