Abhinav Manohar is on song. In two back-to-back matches, the middle-order batter smashed two consecutive fifties for the Maharaja Trophy T20 side Hubli Tigers. During the Qualifier 1 match between Mangalore Dragons and Hubli Tigers, Manohar came late to the crease and ran over the Mangalore bowlers to complete his fifty and confirmed the hundred-plus total for his team.

Batting first, Hubli registered 210 against only two wickets in the crucial game of the tournament. Skipper Devdutt Padikkal came to open the innings and paved the path for destruction, which was precisely done by his teammate Manohar.

Padikkal remained not out for 99, missing the century only by 1 run, while Abhinav lost his wicket, scoring 50 off only 23. The five boundaries and three over boundaries took his strike rate to above two hundred. Hubli Tigers won Qualifier 1 with ease. Mangalore Dragons lost all of their wickets with 100 runs on the scoreboard. Hubli Tigers won by 110 runs.

Abhinav delivered a power-packed batting show 🔥

Manohar's previous 50 in the tournament 

Before Qualifier 1, in match 29, Manohar played an outstanding unbeaten 63-run knock against Namma Shivamogga. In the 63-run innings against Shivamogga, the right-handed batter hit five boundaries and 3 over boundaries to maintain a strike rate of 180.00 after facing 35 deliveries. Manohar's IPL 2025 journey with Sunrisers Hyderabad was not a sweet reality; it was a disappointing season for the Karnataka-born.

Before the tournament, when IPL 2025 was already over, Manohar had to lie down in bed because of illness. At first, he had to suffer from jaundice and then a viral fever. Through the ongoing tournament, he started to get back his natural rhythm. 

Will Abhinav Manohar's run drought come to an end? He played an outstanding unbeaten 63-run knock in match 29 of the ongoing Maharaja Trophy T20 2025. Manohar and Krishnan Shrijith's authoritative batting cornered Namma Shivamogga bowlers. The power-hitter duo took their team, Hubli Tigers, to a total of 195, batting first.

Like the bowlers, Shivamogga batters too were looking clueless and bundled for only 90 runs while chasing the competitive target of 196. Manohar is one of the most expensive players in this season's Maharaja Trophy T20 tournament. Because of his hard-hitting abilities and experience in playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), cricket fans have high hopes for the middle-order batsman.

Manohar's IPL 2025 journey with Sunrisers Hyderabad was not a sweet reality; it was a disappointing season for the Karnataka-born. Today's match (August 25, 2025) can be a turning point, marking the end of his run drought. In the 63-run innings against Shivamogga, the right-handed batter hit five boundaries and 3 over boundaries to maintain a strike rate of 180.00 after facing 35 deliveries.

Manohar went through a tough time 

Before the tournament, when IPL 2025 was already over, Manohar had to lie down in bed because of illness. At first, he had to suffer from jaundice and then a viral fever. "Back-to-back illnesses have taken a toll on my body. But that happens, I mean. I'm just focusing on getting fit now. "Fit and healthy, basically," he said in a media conversation. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad wanted to shape Manohar into a pure finisher, one of the most crucial and hard roles for any batter. It was a new assignment and a challenge for the batter. His IPL journey, as previously mentioned, was not a pleasant one, but he learned a lot during this period, which was reflected in today's game when he was on full flow. "Six-hitting just became very natural to me. From a young age, I've been able to do it. And I realized that that is my strength. And I decided to go with it and not change my batting," he added. 

Hubli Tigers showcased excellent form in this tournament, winning six out of their nine matches and currently hold the third position in the points table with 10 points and have qualified for the playoffs. They won their last match by five wickets against Mysore Warriors.

On the other hand, the Shivamogga Lions are struggling, having won just one match and been eliminated from the tournament. They also won their last match by three wickets against Mysore Warriors.

Hubli Tigers to win

We predict that Hubli Tigers will win this Karnataka T20 Maharaja Trophy 2025 match. The likes of Muhammad Taha, Devdutt Padikkal and Yash Punja will be key players to watch out for.

Shreyas Gopal sparked at the right time for Mangaluru Dragons during the 27th match of the ongoing 2025 Maharaja Trophy T20. With his 3-wicket spell, defeating Bengaluru Blasters, Dragons edge closer to a top-two finish.

Shreyas Gopal, the skipper of Mangaluru Dragons, took some of the dangerous batters of Blasters. Bengaluru was already under pressure as they lost their three top-order batters cheaply, including captain Mayank Agarwal. When they lost their 3rd wicket, only 10 runs were on the scoreboard.

To pull out the team from the trouble, the middle order try to do their best. At the moment when Blasters' middle order was about to shift the gears, Gopal struck. Not once, but on three occasions. He took the wickets of the set batsmen Bhuvan Raju and Shubhang Hegde, who scored 25 and 39, respectively, and Rohan Naveen returned for a duck. Batting first, Bengaluru Blasters scored 146/9 in 20 overs, which Mangaluru Dragons chased down with ease and won the match by 9 wickets.

Gopal entered into this year's Maharaja Trophy T20 carrying the good form that he showed before with Karnataka. The 31-year-old became a regular wicket taker for his state team. Mangaluru openers Lochan Gowda scored 55, and BR Sharath remained not out for 72 runs.

Karnataka vs Baroda: 2/38

Karnataka vs Nagaland: 4/24

Karnataka vs Saurashtra: 4/63

Hat-trick of 6s in match 23 of the 2025 Maharaja Trophy T20 tournament. Skipper of Gulbarga Mystics, Smaran Ravichandran, hit back-to-back 3 sixes during the 6th over of the first innings. Continuing his aggressive batting, Smaran remained unbeaten for 84 against 48 deliveries. He smashed a total of 5 sixes in his innings to go with six boundaries. 

The skipper's innings came at the right time when his team was struggling against the Hubli Tigers. Because of the controlled innings, Gulbarga was able to register 172 runs on the scoreboard. Apart from Ravichandran's individual brilliance, it was a batting failure for the Gulbarga Mystics.

Who is Smaran Ravichandran? 

Smaran Ravichandran is a well-established cricketer who represents Karnataka in domestic cricket. From the beginning of 2025, he has been in absolutely phenomenal form. Before taking part in the Maharaja Trophy T20 for Gulbarga Mystics, he had already scored three hundred in three matches for the state team.

Before the beginning of IPL 2025, scouts of multiple franchises were well aware of the 22-year-old. Sunrisers Hyderabad crashed in for the six-foot-tall batter, but unfortunately he was ruled out of the remainder of IPL 2025 after picking up an injury. If he continues his form, he can get more opportunities to enter into an IPL match in the future. His ability to face spinners is appreciable. The southpaw scored a century during the final of the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy, where Karnataka edged Vidarbha in a thriller to clinch the title in Vadodara. 

A highly entertaining match at the ongoing 2025 Maharaja Trophy T20 tournament. During the decisive moments of the 19^th game of the tournament, Punjab Kings (PBKS) star Praveen Dubey played an unreal innings to successfully chase down a mammoth target of 210 runs.

Dubey, who was a part of PBKS’s IPL 2025 squad, made an unbeaten 53-run innings, facing only 19 deliveries. Without smashing any boundaries, the lower-middle-order batter dealt mostly with 6s. During his 19-ball stormy innings, he hit seven 6s, which took his strike rate to 278.95 and gave the Gulbarga Mystics their thrilling victory. On match 19 of the franchise league, Gulbarga Mystics was up against a strong Mysore Warriors.

The Warriors was the favorite to win the game. As per expectations, they batted brilliantly and registered 209 for 5 batting first. Muralidhara Venkatesh missed his century only by 7 runs. He just toyed with Gulbarga bowlers to score an unbeaten 93 off 53, which was well supported by Yashovardhan Prantap’s 48-run innings. Mysore was all set for another clinical victory of the tournament until Praveen came into the crease. After losing the top 3 batters and an injured opener, Gulbarga was struggling to hold their momentum.

Who is Praveen Dubey?

The pressure situation made Dubey’s innings more special. Experienced bowler Krishnappa Gowtham also proved very costly for the Mysore-based franchise. Gulbarga Mystics hit their winning runs in the very last delivery of the match. Dubey, who is mostly known for his bowling skills, got to play a few matches in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well.

The Azamgarh-born played a total of 4 matches for Delhi Capitals (DC) and claimed a wicket. After spending two seasons with DC, he shifted to PBKS for IPL 2025, where he played one match and claimed one wicket, which was against his former IPL club, Delhi Capitals. Now, in the Maharaja Trophy T20, Dubey proved that he can contribute with the bat also.
