In the opening match of the Entertainers Cricket League (ECL 2025), defending champions, Haryanvi Hunters, won the match against Rajasthan Rangers by 6 wickets. Rajasthan, after being put into bat, struggled to build partnerships and were bowled out for 132 in 9 overs. Pawan Chechi’s explosive 45 off 17 balls provided the backbone of their innings, supported by Gagan Sangwan’s 31 off 9. Anuj Chaudhary claimed three crucial wickets for Haryana.
In response, Haryanvi Hunters chased down the target easily and rapidly, reaching 136/4 in just 7.1 overs. Keshav Chaudhary’s innings of 66 off 18 balls, with nine sixes, was the highlight of the match. Despite losing a few quick wickets Vishal Choudhary and Anujj Chaudhary ensured a comfortable win. Poor bowling from Rajasthan, particularly Yahya Ibrahim, who conceded 32 in one over added to the trouble.
Taking about Elvish Yadav, the captain of Haryanvi Hunters, had a tough outing with the bat as he fell for a golden duck, caught off Deepak Bhardwaj.
