Mayank Agarwal (Bengaluru Blasters Captain): "It was a very special game of cricket. As Bengaluru Blasters we have witnessed some special games, we have played 3 super overs and chased down 228, Wow.
Suraj Ahuja is a very smart cricket, him and Shubhang both were playing smart cricketing shots, nothing too much, just pick the ball and hit the correct shots at the correct time. Shubhang is a pure all-rounder, he will give you runs, wickets and contribute on the field as well."

Time for the post match presentation ceremony..
10:41 PM IST, Local Time | Back-to-back MAXIMUMs from Hegde to finish the contest! What a game of cricket we have witnessed! Shubhang Hedge and Suraj Ahuja pull a rabbit out of the hat to chase down the highest total of the season! Bengaluru Blasters defeat Shivamogga Lions by 6 wickets to prove why they are the table toppers! Biggest team total chased in Maharaja Trophy history and that too in just 19 overs!
Bengaluru Blasters won the toss and elected to bowl first, and on the back on of twin half-centuries from Bangalore Anand Mohith (56 runs off 38 balls) and Abhinav Manohar's unbeaten 59 runs off 24 balls, along with a massive 108 run-stand with Rohan Naveen, Shivamogga Lions registered the highest total of the season with 227/5 at the end of their 20 overs. The innings saw 18 MAXIMUMs being hit!
Come the chase, Mayank Agarwal provided the initial flurry for Bengaluru Blasters but he eventually fell for 33 runs from 17 balls, and that left his team reeling at 59/4 at one stage. However, Shubhang Hegde and Suraj Ahuja had other ideas.
The pair forged together a brilliant unbeaten 169 run partnership for the 5th wicket. Suraj Ahuja played a gem of a knock with unbeaten 82 runs off 38 balls. While, Hegde provided much needed support at the other end with unbeaten 85 runs off 41 balls. Eventually, the pair registered the highest partnership ever in Maharaja Trophy history to chase down the highest first innings total of the season!
Absolute brilliant display of batting prowess in both innings and unlucky for Shivamogga Lions to lose this encounter, they deserved to win this too but there can be only 1 winner and today it was Bengaluru Blasters!

18.6 V Koushik to S Hegde
6 SIXXXX AND Suraj Ajya Ahuja does it for the Bengaluru Blasters! Up and over the deep point, there she sails as the Blasters have chased down the highest-ever total in the league's history. Fuller delivery outside off, the batter arches back and slogs it high and handsomely over deep point. They have completed the 228-run chase with six deliveries to go. Take a bow, Ahuja and Hegde for this unbeaten magical 169-run stand.
We are down to single digits now! 6 runs needed of 7 balls!
18.5 V Koushik to S Hegde
6 Upper cuts for a biggie. Sachin from the 2003 World Cup is here. Short ball outside off, Hegde hops back and goes across in the leg side and then dispatches the ball into the stands over third man. The Blasters are a hit away from the victory!!
18.4 V Koushik to Ahuja
1 Full toss on the off, Ahuja swipes it to deep square leg for one.
18.3 V Koushik to Ahuja
4 ONE BOUNCE AND THAT WOULD BE FOURRRR! Koushik ji, what was that? Short and wide at this stage of the game. Ahuja goes across and cuts it in the air over backward point for a boundary. Lands a bounce short off the cushion!!
18.2 V Koushik to Ahuja
2 Double now. Too full outside off, another almost yorker. Ahuja turns to deep mid wicket for a quick couple of runs.
The 5th wicket partnership now stands at 150!
18.1 V Koushik to S Hegde
1 Very full, almost a yorker on the off. Hegde sits low and jams it somehow. The ball drops underneath him and they sneak a run.
Hegde and Ahuja register the highest partnership of the season! Bengaluru Blasters need 20 runs in 12 balls!
