Dehradun Warriors celebrated a commanding victory in the Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL) 2025, crushing Tehri Titans by 9 wickets. This win is particularly significant as it reinforces their status within the top four. After a period of uneven performances, the Warriors demonstrated complete control, enhancing their points and Net Run Rate (NRR).
The emphatic win situates the Dehradun Warriors in fourth place, with 6 points from 5 matches, achieving three wins and two losses. Their NRR has improved to +0.321, which may be a key factor in securing a playoff position. The team’s form has been variable, but this victory, particularly with such a decisive margin, could be the momentum they needed.
Against the struggling Tehri Titans, Dehradun’s bowlers set the tone early on. By restricting the Titans to a modest total, the Warriors efficiently pursued the score. The strong performance by the top-order batsmen, including a confident opening partnership, ensured the win.
Captain Yuvraj Chaudhary, showing renewed sharpness, made crucial decisions on the field. The Warriors now look like strong contenders for a semifinal berth.
In the chase, Sanskar Rawat’s impressive performance, including an undefeated 116 runs off 52 balls, paved the way for an effortless 9-wicket victory.
The win is even more important considering the tight points table. Haridwar Spring Elmas and Nainital SG Tigers lead the pack with 8 points each, followed by Rishikesh Falcons with 6 points and a better NRR than Dehradun. However, Dehradun’s rise means the race to the playoffs is heating up fast.
With just a couple of league games left, Dehradun Warriors will be aiming to carry this momentum forward and cement their place in the knockouts. The road ahead is tough, but they’ve just sent a strong message to every team in the league.
