Rebels Win by 47 Runs!

A strong all-round team performance helped Rebels dominate iTigers and register a commanding 47-run victory. We finished with 146/6 in our 20 overs and then bowled iTigers out for 99 in 15 overs, showing great control with both bat and ball.

Batting highlights:

Ajith Thottuvaikkattu led from the front with a superb 52 off 42 balls, anchoring the innings and setting the tone. Vaibhav Mehra supported well with a valuable 28, while Mahesh Mailerum Perumal added a quick 20 to keep the scoreboard moving. Raghav Raghavendran and Vignesh Kumar Sathyamoorthi stayed calm at the end with unbeaten knocks of 12 and 10, and Tilak Reddy, Akbar Gour, and Ranjith Ravindran all played their roles in building the total.

Bowling highlights:

The bowlers backed up the batting brilliantly. Akbar Gour was outstanding with 2 wickets for just 11 runs in 2 overs, and Ranjith Ravindran stepped up in a big way with 2 wickets, especially impressive since he is not a regular bowler. Vaibhav Mehra, Gautham Giri, Mahesh Mailerum Perumal, and captain Mukesh Chigumala all chipped in with one wicket each to keep the pressure on throughout the innings.

Fielding and team effort:

Ajaj was extra ordinary in the field and saved many runs. This was a true team win, with every player contributing in some way through batting, bowling, or fielding. The energy in the field was excellent, the effort level stayed high, and the team showed great discipline while defending the total. Special mention to Pradeesh TK, who played a key role from the dugout by mentoring the team and helping with game planning and strategy.
