VIDEO: PPL Double Double in Final! Miraculous catch on the first boundary, then 90 seconds late
Pondicherry Premier League: In the final of Pondicherry Premier League 2025, there was a tremendous drama on Sunday, July 27. A unique case came to light after a surprising relay catch between Wilianur Mohit Kings and Mahe Megalo Strikers, and then a unique case of Timeouts due to not being ready in 90 seconds. Both these events of the final are becoming very viral on social media.
In the final played at Pondicherry’s Cricket Association Sikem Ground, Wilianur Mohit Kings defeated Mahe Megalo Strikers by 7 wickets to win the title. But the biggest attraction of the match was not the scoreline, but there were two incidents in the 15th over, which caused the entire atmosphere to hesitte.
During the batting of Mahe Megalo, first of all, Kamleshwaran (20 runs, 27 balls, 1 six) off Ramesh Kumar played a loud shot which was almost crossing the boundary. Then Aman Hakim Khan showed unmatched athleticism, took the ball under control despite hitting the fielder on the boundary and completed the clean relay catch by throwing the fellow player. Ripley confirmed the out, but the Mahe team got angry and the debate started with the umpire.
