While Kochi Blue Tigers claimed a close win against Alleppey Ripple on Sunday (August 31) night during the 22nd match of the Kerala Cricket League 2025, their star opener Sanju Samson played another powerful knock. 

After Alleppey Ripple scored 176/6 in 20 overs after losing the toss, Kochi Blue Tigers chased the target in 18.2 overs while losing seven wickets, as Kochi Blue Tigers won by three wickets. While none of their second batter managed to cross the 25-run mark, as the opener Vinoop Manoharan (23) and no.8 batter Jerin PS's match-winning cameo of 25 not out off 13 balls, Samson slammed 83 off 41 balls with two fours and nine sixes.

In the fourth over of the chase, Samson collected 20 runs in the last five balls, including three sixes. After hitting a no-look sixer straight down the ground on the second ball of the over, he smashed an over boundary just over long on on the fifth delivery, and ended that over with another sixer over deep mid-wicket.

Samson later completed his half-century in 32 balls with a sixer. Later, he started the 13th over with three consecutive sixes, as the right-handed opening batter collected 25 runs in that over, including one more four. In the next over, Samson lost his wicket while his team still needed 42 runs in 37 balls with six wickets in hand. 

Sanju Samson: 2nd leading run-scorer in KCL 2025

While Sanju Samson's team Kochi Blue Tigers are leading the KCL 2025 points table with 12 points in eight matches, with six wins and two losses, Samson is the second leading run-scorer with 368 runs in five innings with an average of 73.60 and a strike rate of 186.80, including three half-centuries. He has hit 24 fours and 30 sixes in this tournament, holding the record of most sixes in the ongoing KCL edition. 

Salman Nizar has been making headlines for his whirlwind batting during a match against Adani Trivandrum Royals on Sunday. The lower middle-order batter of Calicut Globstars hammered 86 runs off just 26 balls. With his tremendous batting work, Calicut won the Kerala Cricket League (KCL) clash by 13 runs in Thiruvananthapuram.

Cricket fans are now curious to know more about Salman Nizar; on social media platforms, there are too many posts to praise his batting work. In a recent post, an interesting fact was unveiled about Salman Nazir. He was about to play in last season's Indian Premier League (IPL 2025), but in the end, he could not succeed. According to the claim, Nazir was called for trials of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) during the mid-season of IPL 2025. There were other talented players as well, including Ayush Mhatre. Salman Nazir is yet to get a chance in the IPL team.

After the heroic batting, fans are hoping to see him in the cash-rich league soon. In the ongoing Kerala Cricket League, the southpaw has been in brilliant form. The 28-year-old already got three half-centuries in 6 games, including an unbeaten 86 off 26. He was in song during the Ranji Trophy as well. The Kerala-born struck two consecutive hundreds in the tournament: 150 against Bihar and 112* against Jammu and Kashmir.

A finisher waiting for his oppertunity 

Nazir mostly came as a number 5 or as a number 6 batter—the positions mostly known for finishers in limited-over games. In the way Salman Nizar has been batting in KCL 2025, scouts from IPL franchises must note the talented cricketer who has the potential to serve a team for multiple seasons. 

During the game against Adani Trivandrum Royals, Salman smashed 11 sixes off 13 balls, including a 40-run final over. In the 19th over, he boosted up the scoreboard by adding 31 runs powered by 5 sixes. In the final over, against Abhijith Praveen, Nizar hit 6 sixes in all 6 legal deliveries.

T20 cricket is all about explosive batting and crazy moments, and Salman Nizar produced a crazy moment in the Kerala Cricket League. The left-handed batter produced a whirlwind innings, hitting 11 sixes in the last two overs to turn a struggling innings into a respectable total for his side, the Calicut Globstars.

The 28-year-old southpaw has already made an impression in domestic cricket while representing Kerala in first-class matches. In the next season of the Kerala Cricket League, Nizar has been in exceptional form, scoring 296 runs in six matches and is the second-highest run scorer in the tournament. However, in the most recent innings against Adani Trivandrum Royals, Nizar’s innings was a spectacle and one that would go down in Kerala league history.

He came into bat in the 14th over and joined an innings where wickets were tumbling around him. After 18 overs of play, the score was 115/6 for the Globstars, and the Royals were in complete control. That was about to change quickly when Nizar decided to unleash his power, hitting.

In the 19th over, bowled by veteran pacer Basil Thampi, Nizar hit five successive sixes and a single for 31 runs. The tide had turned, but the fireworks were not finished. In the final over, facing Abhijith Praveen V, Nizar launched an unanswerable attack and hit six more sixes, one of which was off a no-ball, a wide, and ended the over with 40 runs to his credit.

From 17 from 13 balls at the end of the 18th over, Nizar went on to finish unbeaten on 86 not out from just 26 balls and lead Calicut Globstars to 186/6 + 70 in 12 balls, which has to go down as one of the great cameos in Kerala cricket history.

For Nizar, it was not just a display of raw power but also a declaration of intent. Nizar was already labelled as a talented prospect, but this knock has established him as one of the more exciting finishers in India's domestic system.
