Enter tejasvi dahiya

South Delhi Superstarz: Tejasvi Dahiya smashed an unbeaten 70 off 30 balls to lead South Delhi Superstarz to a three-wicket win against Outer Delhi Warriors in a nail-biting match of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) Season 2, which was reduced to 16 overs due to a wet outfield at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Friday.

Chasing a challenging target of 140 in 16 overs, the Superstarz endured a shaky start, losing three top-order batters — including skipper Ayush Badoni — within the first five overs. Their troubles deepened in the 10th over when a well-set Anmol Sharma departed, leaving the side still over 70 runs short with just six overs remaining.

Enter Tejasvi Dahiya at No. 5, who shifted gears and launched a blistering counter-attack to turn the tide. With seven runs needed off the final two balls, he dispatched the penultimate delivery over the ropes before sealing a dramatic win with another towering six. His match-winning knock featured four boundaries and six sixes. Sumit Kumar Beniwal also played a handy cameo, smashing 19 off just 7 balls.
