    T20 Mumbai League: Sairaj Steals Spotlight After SKY Show On Opening Day (Ld)

    Triumph Knights Mumbai North East: India’s T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav lit up the opening day of the third season of the T20 Mumbai League 2025 with a blistering 25-ball half-century. However, his heroics weren’t enough as Sairaj Patil’s impressive cameo helped a spirited Eagle Thane Strikers claim a five-wicket win against Triumph Knights Mumbai North East at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday.

    Suryakumar (50), ably supported by Jigar Rana (53), anchored the Knights’ innings as they posted a competitive 179/7 after being asked to bat first. The start wasn’t ideal for the Knights, but Rana and Parikshit Valsangkar steadied the innings with a crucial 88-run partnership. Once Rana fell to a slower ball and Parikshit was run out in the next over, Suryakumar took control of the proceedings.

    The India star found company in Jay Jain (24) as the pair added 40 runs to keep the innings steady during the middle overs. Jain’s stay ended when he was cramped for room by Amit Pandey, with keeper Anish Chaudhary whipping off the bails. Despite the quick wickets, Suryakumar remained calm and clinical at the death, unleashing a flurry of powerful strokes to lift the Knights to a strong finish and set the tone for the tournament.
