APL 2025: Mighty Marathas Enter Semis, Unbeaten Rajputana Royals Stunned By Yodhas
The Last Chero Archers: The inaugural Archery Premier League (APL) moved into its business end on Thursday, which saw the Mighty Marathas (MM) booking a spot in the semis while the Prithviraj Yodhas stunned the Rajputana Royals, who lost their first match of this inaugural season after seven consecutive wins.
The day started with the Marathas’ 5-1 win over the Chola Chiefs (CC). Brady Ellison for the Chiefs and Parneet Kaur for the Marathas were in brilliant 10-hitting form in the first set, but it was Dhiraj Bommadevara’s 10 on the last MM arrow just before the buzzer that stood out and tied the first set at 76-76 for one point to each of the teams.
The second set saw the Marathas holding their nerves towards the end, while a couple of loose arrows from the Chiefs under pressure, which included an 8 from recurver Deepika, left the MM recurver Dhiraj with a 9 to get on the final arrow. He delivered a 10, and MM took the set 78-76 and the two points for a 3-1 lead.
