After watching the IPL tournament with great fervor and reading news about the impressive performance of the Indian women’s cricket team on the international stage, the senior citizen ladies of Ajmera Infinity got together on the cricket ground within the community’s premises. The long-time dream of senior citizens playing cricket as a family came true on June 5, 2024.

The Ajmera Recreation Club for Senior Citizens, along with the Senior Men’s Cricketing Club of Ajmera, joined forces and played a 12-over per innings match. Each team comprised 6 ladies and 5 men. The ladies played with enthusiasm, akin to representing their country.

Their dedication was appreciated by everyone once the game commenced. At Ajmera, senior men regularly play thrice a week, ensuring a high standard of the game. Most of the lady batters returned to the pavilion disappointed that they couldn’t play more, as the game was limited by a set number of overs.

A large number of spectators came to watch their parents and grandparents perform. The keenly contested match was won by the best team.

The match was followed by a post-match high tea in the natural surroundings that the Ajmera community enjoys. Soon, the recreation club plans to organize a 20-over match for senior citizens, where the full potential of the senior citizen community will be unleashed.
