In a gripping T20 clash between C Kings and Doppelgangers on November 23, Samhith Reddy emerged as the standout performer with a valiant all-round effort. Despite his fighting knock, Doppelgangers fell agonizingly short, losing by 11 runs.
After winning the toss, C Kings opted to bat first and posted a competitive 169/9 in their allotted 20 overs. Samhith Reddy contributed with the ball, delivering a tidy two-over spell that yielded one wicket for just 16 runs, keeping the opposition under check during the middle overs.
The chase, however, began on a disastrous note for Doppelgangers. They lost three wickets inside the power play, reeling at 27/3 in just five overs. Walking in at No. 5, Samhith Reddy faced a daunting task but displayed remarkable composure under pressure.
Partnering with Nithish Koundinya, who scored a gritty 47 off 39 balls, Samhith anchored the innings with his calculated aggression and clean hitting.

Though the team faced defeat, Samhith Reddy’s heroic innings was a testament to his determination and skill. His efforts on both fronts—ball and bat—earned him accolades from teammates and spectators alike, highlighting his potential to be a match-winner in future games.
Samhith’s resilient performance will surely inspire Doppelgangers as they regroup for their next encounter, looking to build on this narrow loss and convert such fighting efforts into victories.
