- September 29, 2025
The Tranquil Developers You Selects IPL 2025 (Exhibition) rolled on in spectacular fashion at DCS You Selects Arena 3, where VDS Indore Chargers outplayed KCC Kanhangad Bulls by 37 runs. It was a clash packed with blistering stroke-play, sharp fielding, and game-changing spells, giving fans the full flavour of T20 cricket’s rollercoaster ride
Indore Chargers, opting to bat, laid down a perfect platform for dominance. The top order sparkled with Deepak Rao’s 60 off 34, a knock filled with poise and authority, peppering the boundary ropes with five fours and four sixes. At the other end, Raizal Nadir carved 47 from 31, striking eight crisp boundaries and anchoring the innings when partnerships faltered. Roy’s quickfire 41 off 23 balls injected further fireworks, while late cameos from Ashok Kandurkar and Akbar Khan ensured the innings never lost tempo. Wickets fell intermittently, but the run rate rarely dipped, and Indore stormed their way to 205/7 in 20 overs. Their effort was a textbook display of aggressive yet calculated batting, leaving the Bulls staring at a daunting chase.
Kanhangad Bulls came out swinging, determined to match fire with fire. Captain Ali CK’s 22 provided a steady hand early, while Sulthan Siqhandar blasted 37 off 21, decorated with five boundaries and a six, to keep the chase alive. Jamshad’s 19 and Saeed Chithari’s brisk 28 off 17 brought renewed hope, forcing Indore to shuffle their bowlers constantly. Yet the Chargers’ attack struck at key moments. Raizal returned with ball in hand to dismantle the middle order, his four wickets breaking partnerships and denting momentum. Shamsheer fought valiantly, but as wickets continued to tumble—including Sulthan’s dismissal that silenced Bulls’ hopes—the chase eventually folded at 168 in 18.2 overs. The Bulls showed flashes of brilliance, but Indore’s balance and depth proved insurmountable.
