The Bharat Rangers put on a stellar performance to secure a massive win against the Orange Tigers in the Vidarbha Pro T20 League 2025. Led by captain Atharva Taide and powered by man-of-the-match Updesh Rajput, the Rangers posted a formidable 203 runs. The Orange Tigers struggled in response, collapsing to 126 all out in just 14.3 overs. The Rangers’ bowlers shined, with Manan Agrawal claiming three wickets, while Kapse, Khure, and Bisht took two each to dismantle the opposition.
Atharva Taide set the tone early with a fiery 41 off just 44 balls, supported by Updesh Rajput and Danish Malewar, who smashed a stunning 72 off 46 deliveries. Their explosive 134-run partnership left the Orange Tigers scrambling. Despite losing Rajput (retired hurt) and Malewar late in the innings, the Rangers had already done enough damage. The Orange Tigers’ bowlers had no answers, with only Minar Sahare managing an economy under 7 in a brief spell.
Apoorv Wankhade’s valiant 45 off 29 balls provided a brief spark for the Orange Tigers, but the lack of support from the rest of the batting lineup sealed their fate. With the Bharat Rangers maintaining relentless pressure, the Tigers’ innings folded quickly. Cricket fans can now look forward to the women’s matches, as the Vidarbha Pro T20 League continues with the Nagpur Titans facing the Orange Tigresses in the opener.
