Kumar’s unbeaten century powers Rock Garden Warriors to Chandigarh Premier League title

Rock Garden Warriors secured the Chandigarh Premier League title with a dominant batting display. After choosing to bat first, they compiled an imposing 211 for 5 in their 20‑over quota. The total was built on a steady foundation and a flurry of boundaries, culminating in a blistering innings from Kumar.

Kumar remained unbeaten on 103 runs off just 54 deliveries, a knock that featured eight fours and seven sixes. His stroke play combined timing with power, turning the innings into one of the tournament’s most memorable performances.

The required run rate for the chasing side climbed steadily, but they never managed to mount a credible reply. The Warriors’ total proved too steep, and the victory was sealed with relative comfort.

The win reflects a growing competitiveness in regional cricket leagues. Teams have increasingly focused on deep batting line‑ups, and the Warriors’ success underscores that strategic shift.

Organised by the Chandigarh Cricket Association, the league has attracted substantial local attention. The final was played at a sector‑wide venue that filled the stands, indicating rising enthusiasm for domestic cricket in the city.

With the trophy in hand, the Warriors will look to maintain momentum in upcoming fixtures. Their schedule, however, remains subject to venue availability and player workload considerations.
