Dehradun Warriors achieved a remarkable victory in the Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL) 2025, thrashing Tehri Titans by 9 wickets and strengthening their position in the top four. After a period of inconsistent results earlier in the tournament, the Warriors displayed complete control, enhancing their points total and Net Run Rate (NRR).
With this dominant performance, the Dehradun Warriors now hold fourth place with 6 points from 5 matches, winning three and losing two. Their NRR has risen to +0.321, which could be critical in the playoff race. While the team’s form has varied, this win, especially by such a significant margin, could be the critical turning point.
Facing the struggling Tehri Titans, Dehradun’s bowlers set the pace with an early assault. Limiting the Titans to a low total, the Warriors efficiently pursued the target. The top-order batsmen, propelled by a confident opening partnership, ensured the job was done with ease and maximum efficiency.
Captain Yuvraj Chaudhary, looked sharp in the field, and his strategic decisions were accurate throughout the match, and the Warriors are now serious contenders for a semifinal spot.
In the chase, Sanskar Rawat’s elegance was on full display as he smashed an unbeaten 116 runs off 52 balls. His century enabled the Warriors to win comfortably by 9 wickets.
The win is even more important considering the tight points table. Haridwar Spring Elmas and Nainital SG Tigers lead the pack with 8 points each, followed by Rishikesh Falcons with 6 points and a better NRR than Dehradun. However, Dehradun’s rise means the race to the playoffs is heating up fast.
With just a couple of league games left, Dehradun Warriors will be aiming to carry this momentum forward and cement their place in the knockouts. The road ahead is tough, but they’ve just sent a strong message to every team in the league.
