Introducing Team #6

⚔️ GORKHALI YODDHA

"Blood of the Kukri"

Some legacies are written in ink. This one is carved in steel. Descendants of the fiercest warriors ever to walk the Himalayas, this squad plays with the same code their ancestors carried into every battle: no retreat, no fear, no mercy for the weak-hearted. The kukri never needed to be big to be deadly — just precise. That's this team in a single sentence. Arbin leads a unit that treats every match like a battlefield their forefathers already won a hundred times before. When they walk out, the ground doesn't just feel the game — it remembers the war cry. 🗡️🇳🇵

"Warriors don't play for the scoreboard. They play for the legacy behind them."

The Warband:

⚔️ Arbin Baral (C) — leads the charge, kukri-sharp instincts, unshaken by any battlefield.
🛡️ Prajwal Bhandari (AR) — the shield-bearer, holds the line when it matters most.
🎯 Subodh Lamichhane (BWL) — the precision strike, one blow and the war is decided.
🔥 Akasdeep Singh (AR) — fights with fire in both hands, all-round destruction.
🗡️ Pravesh Aryal (AR) — the silent soldier who does the damage before the enemy notices.
🏔️ Anish Dahal (AR) — carries the mountain's weight into every single over.

Introducing Team #5

🦁 DELTA LIONS

"The Pride That Never Kneels"

The old story goes that when the mountain lions of legend grew too fierce for even the Himalayas to hold, a pride broke off and marched toward the delta plains to build their own kingdom. They didn't come to hunt quietly — they came to roar. Every batter in gold-and-black carries the pride's mark: patient stalking through the middle overs, then a explosive pounce that ends innings before opponents see it coming. Dharminder doesn't captain a team. He leads a pride. And prides don't rebuild after a loss — they regroup and hunt harder. 🦁⚔️

"You don't beat a lion. You just hope it's not hungry that day."

The Pride:

🦁 Dharminder Sidhu (C) — the pride leader, the roar that sets the tone before the hunt begins.
🐾 Bibek Adhikari (AR) — stalks the game quietly until it's already too late for the prey.
🎯 Anish Koirala (BWL) — the killer instinct, strikes clean and doesn't waste a chance.
🛡️ Bishal Khatri (BAT) — the guardian of the den, defends every inch of ground.
💥 Gurpratap Singh (BAT) — the pounce — explosive, sudden, impossible to see coming.
🌾 Sanjog (BAT) — the patient hunter, waits for the exact right moment to strike.

Introducing Team #4

🌌 NORTHERN BC BOYS

"Sons of Two Skies"

They were forged where two worlds collide — Himalayan blood, northern skies. Legend has it that when the aurora lights up over British Columbia, it's actually the spirits of the mountains reaching out to their children who crossed oceans but never left the culture behind. This squad plays with that same duality: cool, composed, quietly lethal, like the northern lights themselves — beautiful right up until they're devastating. They don't need to shout. The scoreboard does the talking. Suman leads a brotherhood that turned distance into unity. 🌠🏏

"Two skies, one fire. The north never forgot where it came from."

Sons of the Aurora:

🌌 Suman Gurung (C) — steady as the northern sky, quietly commands the room.
🧊 Ashib Paudel (AR) — cool-headed, ice-veined, does the job without the noise.
🎯 Aashwas Parajuli (BWL) — precision cutting through the cold like the aurora itself.
🛠️ RD Jamwal (AR) — the utility spirit, adapts to whatever the game demands.
🌠 Shubhdeep Singh (BWL) — a shooting star with the ball, gone before you can react.
🔦 Roshan Rawat (AR) — lights the way when the innings needs direction.

Introducing Team #3 👴 BAJE KO NATI

"The Grandfather's Grandson"

Every great flame needs a keeper. In this village, that keeper was an old man who never played a single official match — but who taught an entire generation how to hold a bat like it was sacred. When his grandson picked one up for the first time, the old man just smiled and said, "Now go show them what I already know." This team plays with the wisdom of the mountain and the fearlessness of a kid who's never lost a backyard match. Sushil carries the old man's spirit onto the field, one calm, unshakable innings at a time. Behind every young six is an old man grinning on the boundary rope. 🔥👦

"Wisdom doesn't retire. It just finds a new pair of hands."

Keepers of the Flame:

👴 Sushil Nepal (C) — carries the old man's calm like it was handed down at birth.
🎓 Rajan Yadav (AR) — the eager student turned dangerous all-round threat.
🧭 Pemba Sherpa (AR) — guides the innings the way his namesakes guide the mountain.
🪵 Subash (BAT) — solid as the old man's walking stick, never bends under pressure.
🔥 Riwaj Adhikari (AR) — the spark that proves the fire never really got old.
🌾 Ganesh Gyawali (AR) — the harvest of years of backyard lessons, finally paying off.

Super 6 tie sheet

Introducing Team #2 🏔️ Six APPEAL

"The Brotherhood of the Peaks"

Six warriors climbed six different mountains, chasing six different legends — until the gods, tired of their arguing over whose summit was tallest, threw them all into the same valley and said, "Prove it here." They've been inseparable ever since: sunglasses on, swagger louder than the crowd, hitting sixes like it's a personal vendetta against gravity. They didn't come to play cricket. They came to remind you what charisma with a bat actually looks like. Krishna leads not with a crown, but with a smirk that says the outcome was decided before the toss. 😎🔥

"Six mountains. Six men. One appeal the umpire never has to think twice about."

The Brotherhood:

🏔️ Krishna Chettri (C) — the tallest peak of the six, leads with a smirk and a plan.
🕶️ Anish Pokhrel (AR) — cool under pressure because he's already seen how the story ends.
🔥 Atinder Sandhu (AR) — brings the heat when the brotherhood needs a spark.
💪 Amit Pokhrel (BAT) — the quiet climber, steady hands, unshakable footing.
⚙️ Kapil Nandy (AR) — the engine room, doing the work nobody notices until it wins the match.
🎯 Jatinder Singh (BWL) — the final word in every argument with the batter.
