Indian Veteran Premier League 2024: Top run-getters and wicket-takers after VVIP Uttar Pradesh vs Delhi Red Carpets (Updated) ft. Richard Levi

The Indian Veteran Premier League 2024 continued today with a doubleheader.

In the first match, Telangana Tigers defended a score of 172/7, winning the game by one run against Rajasthan Legends.

However, in the second game, Delhi Red Carpets failed to chase down the total posted by VVIP Uttar Pradesh, condemning them to a 29-run defeat.

Batting first against the Rajasthan Legends, Telangana Tigers got off to a blistering start with opener Silva Sagiri (87 off 59) racing away in the powerplay. Sagiri was especially severe in his strokeplay, striking at 147.46 during his quickfire innings.

Manpreet Gony (25 off 12) gave the Tigers' innings a final flourish towards the end, posting a total of 172/7. In response, Rajasthan Legends got off to a horrid start, losing both their openers cheaply. Contributions from skipper Angelo Perera (32), Rajesh Bishnoi (44 off 39), and Ishan Malhotra (36 off 14) got ever so close to chasing down Telangana’s total as they fell short of just one run. Thilak S, Syed Ahmed Qadri, and Tangirala Kumar took two wickets a piece for the Telangana Tigers.

In the second game, VVIP Uttar Pradesh batted first to put up a colossal total of 220-3 in 20 overs courtesy of Anshul Kapoor (63 off 38), Bhanu Seth (31 off 11), Pawan Negi (69 off 43) and Suresh Raina (34 off 21) all contributing.

In response, Delhi Red Carpet’s batting lineup lacked uniformity as Asela Gunaratne (106 off 55) was the sole performer for the Delhi-based side and the Red Carpets lost the game by 29 runs.
