Parth Chaudhary's jaw-dropping 95 runs off 46 balls single-handedly dismantled the Bundelkhand Bulls bowling lineup during Match 24 of the Madhya Pradesh Premier League (MPL) 2026. His brutal masterclass guided the Gwalior Cheetahs to a 23-run victory in a high-scoring thriller played at the Daly College Ground in Indore. Chaudhary opened the innings and batted with total control. He stayed at the crease for 17.2 overs, facing 46 balls to score 95 runs. He maintained a 206.52 strike rate, meaning he averaged more than 2 runs for every single ball he faced. He hit 4 fours and 10 massive sixes. This means 76 of his 95 runs came entirely from boundary shots.
He reached a blazing 50-run half-century in just 25 balls. After opener Kartik Parihar fell early for 12, Chaudhary joined forces with Kuldeep Gehi. Together, they shared a 106-run partnership for the second wicket, taking the score from 36/1 to 142/2. Chaudhary was on the verge of his second century of the season. Sadly, he accidentally stepped back onto his own stumps. He was out hit wicket off the bowling of Indian domestic speedster Kuldeep Sen in the 18th over. Chaudhary's innings allowed the rest of the batting lineup to attack freely. Captain Rajat Patidar and finisher Arpit Patel provided massive end-overs fireworks to post a mammoth 249/4.
Bundelkhand Bulls lose by 23 runs while playing against Gwalior Cheetahs
The Gwalior Cheetahs secured a thrilling 23-run victory over the Bundelkhand Bulls in Match 24 of the Madhya Pradesh Premier League (MPL) 2026. Despite a furious, high-scoring run chase by the Bulls at the Daly College Ground in Indore, the mammoth target set by Gwalior's batting order proved just out of reach. Gwalior Cheetahs posted a massive 249/4 in 20 overs. Openers and middle-order batsmen took apart the bowling, guided by Parth Chaudhary's stunning 95 runs off 46 balls. Bundelkhand Bulls kept themselves alive in the game with heavy boundary hitting but fell short, finishing their chase at 226/9 in 20 overs.
Chasing 250 runs is a monumental task in T20 cricket, but the Bulls gave the Cheetahs a massive scare through aggressive batting in the middle overs. The Bulls' top and middle order came out firing. At one point in the 14th over, they were cruising at 166/4, needing 84 runs off the remaining 40 balls. The Cheetahs' bowling unit held their nerve in the death overs. Regular wickets stalled the Bulls' momentum. A late run-out of Anant Dubey (15) and tight bowling from Kartik Parihar (who finished with 2 wickets for 41 runs) officially sealed the game. Needing an impossible number of 35 runs in the 20th over, tailender Omkar Nath Singh managed a four and a six to finish on 18* off 11 balls, bringing the final score to 226/9.
