DY Patil T20 Cup: Yuzvendra Chahal Stars For Income Tax Dhull Stands Out, Sooryavanshi Misses Out

(MENAFN- IANS) Navi Mumbai, Feb 23 (IANS) India's 2024 T20 World Cup winner Yuzvendra Chahal began the 20th edition of the DY Patil T20 Cup in fine style as he starred in Income Tax's seven wicket win over Reliance on the opening day at the DY Patil Stadium in Nerul, Navi Mumbai on Monday.

Chahal's 4-11 helped Income Tax restrict Reliance to just 131 for nine in their 20 overs. The chase was fashioned by an unbeaten 31 by Venkatesh Iyer, who also picked up a wicket with his medium-pace.

In the other morning contest at the University Ground, Mumbai Customs beat CGST by 35 runs.

Later in the afternoon, Karsh Kothari (4-31) and Arjun Tendulkar (3-34) starred with the ball for DY Patil Blue as they restricted Nirlon to 154 at the Stadium. Later with the bat, DY Patil Blue's much vaunted batting line-up led by teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (2) and Sarfaraz Khan (0) failed to fire. But Yash Dhull (64: 32b, 8x4, 3x6) starred as Blue beat Nirlon by four wickets.

In the other afternoon encounter at University Ground, CAG completely outclassed Jain Irrigation by 10 wickets. The openers Viswaraj Singh Jadeja (91 n.o.: 53b, 12x4, 4x6) and Aman Mokate (91 n.o.: 44b, 8x4, 6x6) completely dominated Jain Irrigation as they chased down the target of 191 with 10 wickets and four overs to spare.
