Friday night at Uppal had a script straight out of a T20 highlight reel.
And at the centre of it… an India international flexing on a domestic stage.
The Anurag Nalgonda Knights didn't just win the inaugural Sreenidhi University TG20 League.
They bulldozed the Warangal Warriors by 91 runs in the final.
Warangal won the toss. Bowled first. Got an early wicket.
For exactly one over, things looked under control.
Then Gaurav Reddy and Nitish Reddy walked in together.
And the scoreboard caught fire.
For context — Nitish is the same Kaki Nitish Kumar Reddy who plays all three formats for Team India.
The Vizag boy who lit up the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Now casually dismantling a domestic attack on home soil.
Even after both stars fell in quick succession, the Knights didn't slow down.
The lower order doubled down.
Arfaz and Divesh alone added 49 in 18 balls at the death.
The final total: 259/5 — a wall the Warriors had to climb.
The chase started like a fever dream.
Aman Rao smashed 46 off 15 — every single run a boundary. Not one called single. Not one twos.
Then Murugan Abhishek went bang — 44 off 19.
Cameos from Bhavesh Seth (22) and Mani Kiran (16) kept the hope alive.
But Knights had answers.
👉 Nishanth Saranu removed Abhishek with the breakthrough.
👉 Varun Goud strangled the middle overs with two in one over.
👉 Warriors folded for 168 in 14 overs.
Player of the Match: Nitish Reddy.
Champions: Anurag Nalgonda Knights.
A tournament that opened with Thaman and Vijay Deverakonda setting the stage on fire…
closed with an Indian star reminding everyone exactly why he wears the blue.
Gaurav brought the fireworks.
Nitish brought the class.
The Knights brought the trophy home.
That's all for now!
