The star-studded Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) is back with its 12th edition, which kicked off in Visakhapatnam on January 16. Featuring artists from various film industries, this season sees eight teams competing across multiple venues nationwide in a round-robin and knockout format.
Tollywood’s Telugu Warriors, captained by Akkineni Akhil, opened their account in emphatic fashion on Saturday night. After suffering a 41-run defeat to the Bhojpuri Dabanggs in their opening match, the Warriors staged a strong comeback by registering a convincing 52-run victory over defending champions Punjab De Sher.
Leading from the front, Akhil Akkineni produced a sensational batting display, smashing a blistering century off just 56 balls. He was well supported by Ashwin Babu, who played a crucial knock of 60 runs. With the ball, Samrat and Vinay Mahadev stood out as the pick of the bowlers.
Batting first, Telugu Warriors posted a daunting total of 185 runs. In response, Punjab De Sher were bowled out for 132, despite a lone resistance from Karan Wahi. The loss marked back-to-back defeats for the reigning champions, effectively ending their campaign in this season.
With this much-needed win, Telugu Warriors keep their knockout hopes alive, with one more group-stage match remaining. As per the tournament format, each team plays three league matches, and the top two teams from each group advance to the semi-finals.
