India's latest T20 international recruits Rishabh Pant and Yuzavendra Chahal warmed up for the upcoming England series in fine style by starring in Reliance 1's title triumph in the 13th DY Patil T20 Cup.
While Pant scored 52 off just 24 balls at the DY Patil Stadium in neighbouring Navi Mumbai, Chahal picked up four for 13 to lead Reliance 1 to the title with a 74-run win over DY Patil 'B', a media release issued here said.
The young Delhi keeper-batsman launched a breathtaking assault in the title clash hitting four sixes and five boundaries.
Yogesh Nagar (53 not out off 36 balls, 1x4, 1x6) later provided finishing touches as Reliance 1 closed at 176-5 in their 20 overs.
In their chase, DY Patil 'B' never took off as first pacer Kulwant Singh (3-12) and then Chahal's leg-breaks applied the brakes.
Earlier, both Reliance 1 and DY Patil 'B' got through to the title round with contrasting wins, it said.
While DY Patil 'B' registered a comprehensive eight-wicket win over DY Patil 'A' at the DY Patil Stadium, Reliance 1 kept BPCL at bay to score a 13-run win. Brief Scores:
