Maharashtra Police delivered a commanding performance to clinch the All India Police T20 Cricket Tournament 2026, defeating RPF Team 2026 by a massive 91 runs in the final.
After winning the toss, RPF Team 2026 opted to field first, hoping to restrict Maharashtra Police early. However, the Maharashtra batters had other plans and produced a powerful batting display.
Batting first, Maharashtra Police posted a formidable total of 251/4 in their 20 overs. The innings was highlighted by aggressive stroke play and some fearless hitting. Yogesh Patil laid a strong foundation with a quick 52 runs off just 25 balls, setting the tone for the innings.
The real fireworks came later when Rohit Pol walked in at number five and completely turned the game on its head. In a breathtaking knock, Pol smashed 71 runs in just 19 balls, peppering the boundary with 1 four and a staggering 10 sixes. His explosive innings pushed Maharashtra Police to a daunting total that put RPF under immense pressure.
Chasing 252 for victory, the RPF Team 2026 struggled to build partnerships as the Maharashtra bowlers kept striking at regular intervals. The disciplined bowling attack ensured the chase never gained momentum.
Leading the bowling charge was Rohit Bhere, who produced a sensational spell. Bowling his full quota of 4 overs, he picked up 5 crucial wickets, dismantling the RPF batting lineup. He was well supported by Yogesh Shinde, who delivered a sharp spell of 3 wickets in just 2 overs, further tightening Maharashtra’s grip on the match.
Under relentless pressure from the bowlers, RPF Team 2026 were eventually bowled out for 160, falling well short of the target.
With this dominant all-round performance, Maharashtra Police secured a convincing 91-run victory, proudly lifting the All India Police T20 Cricket Tournament 2026 trophy and finishing the tournament on a high.
In the Dreamz Champion Trophy White Ball League, a commanding all-round performance helped IndusInd Bank secure a convincing victory over L’Oréal.
Batting first, IndusInd Bank put up a competitive 183/3 in their 20 overs, thanks largely to a superb knock from captain Amar Narkar. Leading from the front, Narkar produced a brilliant innings of 106 runs off 62 balls, anchoring the batting lineup and setting the tone for the team’s total. His innings was packed with quality stroke play, featuring 11 boundaries, as he paced the innings perfectly and ensured his side posted a strong score on the board.
He received strong support from Addagatla Vishaal, who played a crucial supporting role with a well-compiled 39 off 33 balls, helping build a solid partnership and stabilize the innings. Nilesh Golapkar also chipped in with a handy 18 off 14 balls, providing valuable runs towards the latter stages of the innings to push the total to a challenging score.
The innings was even more remarkable considering the extremely hot conditions, with temperatures soaring to around 38–39°C during the match. Despite the intense heat, Amar Narkar maintained his composure and fitness to deliver a match-defining century for his side.
Chasing 184 for victory, L’Oréal found it difficult to keep up with the required run rate. Despite their efforts, the batting lineup struggled against disciplined bowling from IndusInd Bank and eventually finished on 148/8 in 20 overs.
The bowlers played a crucial role in controlling the chase. Nilesh Golapkar led the effort with 2/23 in 3 overs, capping off a fine all-round performance while Jitendra Yadav chipped in with 1/24 in his 4 overs. The standout spell, however, came from Narendra Vishwakarma, who maintained exceptional control and picked up 1/11 in his 4 overs, applying immense pressure on the opposition batters.
With the bowlers maintaining control throughout the chase, IndusInd Bank sealed the contest comfortably, registering a 32-run win.
The highlight of the match remained Amar Narkar’s outstanding century, a captain’s knock that laid the foundation for the victory and proved to be the defining difference between the two sides.
The Times Cricket Shield Division match between Ajanta Pharma Ltd and Datamatics Global Services Ltd had its moments, but one innings clearly stood above the rest. Arjun Lotlikar walked in, settled himself, and built something that shaped the entire contest.
Batting first, Ajanta Pharma posted 233 all out in 45 overs. The foundation of that total was Arjun’s composed 90 off 115 balls. It wasn’t a flashy knock thrown together in a hurry. He paced it well, absorbed pressure, and then cashed in when the bowlers erred. Ten fours and two sixes punctuated his innings, each boundary arriving at the right time to keep the scoreboard moving.
Here’s the thing. On a day when wickets kept falling at the other end, Arjun stayed. He read the conditions, trusted his defense, and picked his moments to attack. That kind of innings doesn’t just add runs, it gives belief to the dressing room.
Chasing 234, Datamatics Global Services never quite found momentum. They were bowled out for 183, falling short by 50 runs. The collapse was triggered by a sharp spell from Samarth Kokate, who picked up 4 wickets in just 5 overs. His accuracy and control turned the game decisively in Ajanta Pharma’s favour.
But the match will be remembered for Arjun Lotlikar’s mature knock. A product of Sanjeevani Cricket Academy, he continues to showcase the discipline and technique that the academy is known for. Training under coach Satish Samant, Arjun’s development is evident in the way he constructs his innings and handles match situations.
What this really means is simple. When it mattered, Arjun stepped up. And in a competitive tournament like the Times Cricket Shield Division, that’s the difference between a decent total and a match-winning one.
There are purple patches. And then there’s what Manan Bhatt is doing right now.
Three matches. Three centuries. All in the Under-23 Col C.K. Nayudu Trophy. Calm, controlled, and built the hard way.
He began with 104 off 203 balls against Haryana in the league stage. A long, patient innings that showed discipline and temperament. Then came 111 off 182 against Odisha, again in the league phase. Different opposition, same hunger. Same concentration.
And when the stakes rose in the quarterfinal against Karnataka, Manan didn’t blink. He produced 120 off 238 deliveries a knock crafted with maturity beyond his years. Knockout pressure, quality attack, long hours at the crease. He handled it all.
Three back-to-back centuries in a premier red-ball tournament at the U-23 level isn’t just good form. It speaks of preparation, mindset, and serious work behind the scenes.
Manan Bhatt hails from Sanjeevani Cricket Academy, and his development under the guidance of coach Satish Samant is clearly reflecting in his performances. The technique looks solid. The shot selection is measured. The temperament is strong. That doesn’t happen by accident.
What stands out most is how he builds his innings. He doesn’t rush milestones. He earns them. He occupies the crease, wears bowlers down, and then capitalizes.
In an era where quick runs often grab attention, Manan is reminding everyone of the value of time at the crease and big hundreds in multi-day cricket.
Three consecutive centuries. League dominance. Quarterfinal impact.
Manan Bhatt isn’t just scoring runs.
He’s building a reputation.
It had everything you want from a proper cricket match. Big runs. A strong chase. And one innings that people will talk about long after the result is forgotten.
The clash between Suddan 11 and Palande Krida Sankul began with Suddan 11 winning the toss and choosing to bat. It was a confident call, and for a long stretch, it looked like the right one.
At the heart of their innings was Atharva Sawant.
He didn’t start with reckless hitting. He built it patiently. He watched the ball, respected the good deliveries, and slowly began to take control. Once he found his rhythm, there was no stopping him. Drives through the covers, clean pulls, confident footwork. Atharva went on to score a magnificent 120 off 97 balls, smashing 13 fours and 2 sixes. It was an innings full of maturity and class.
Around him, the rest of the batting unit chipped in, and Suddan 11 posted a strong 296 for 7. On most days, that total puts you in the driver’s seat.
But here’s the thing about cricket. It always leaves room for a comeback.
Palande Krida Sankul approached the chase with belief. They didn’t panic. They didn’t rush. The batters kept rotating strike, punished the loose balls, and steadily closed the gap. Even when Suddan 11 tried to pull things back, Palande Krida Sankul stayed composed and completed the chase in 40 overs.
They won the match on paper.
But sometimes, the scoreboard doesn’t tell the whole story.
Atharva Sawant may have ended up on the losing side, yet his innings won hearts. It was the kind of knock that reminds you why you love the game. Pure timing. Calm under pressure. And a statement performance that stood tall, regardless of the result.
