Akshat Raghuwanshi’s remarkable performance was not enough as Bhopal Leopards clinched a nail-biting three-wicket victory against Rewa Jaguars in the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) T20 Scindia Cup 2026 at Holkar Stadium. Raghuwanshi’s explosive 85 runs off 32 balls set a challenging target of 203/8 for Bhopal after Rewa Jaguars batted first.
Despite losing wickets in the middle overs, Rewa received support from Prithviraj Singh Tomar’s 35 off 32 balls and Sagar Solanki’s quick 48 off 28 deliveries. Himanshu Shinde’s bowling performance of 2/21 in four overs was crucial in limiting Rewa’s total.
In response, Bhopal Leopards started strong with Tanishq Yadav and Rahul Chandrol’s 60-run opening partnership. Chandrol’s fluent 44 off 21 balls and Aniket Verma’s rapid 25 off 10 balls kept Bhopal in the chase. A late resurgence led by Shinde and Nirwani helped Bhopal secure a thrilling victory with Kamal Tripathi’s crucial hits in the final over.
