1xBat becomes sponsor of Eagle Nashik Titans in MPL 2025: Investing in the growth of regional cricket in India
The sports news platform 1xBat Sporting Lines has become the official partner of the promising cricket team Eagle Nashik Titans in the Maharashtra Premier League (MPL) 2025. This collaboration aims to strengthen support for regional sports, create new opportunities for young athletes, and increase visibility for this ambitious tournament. Eagle Nashik Titans entered the regional cricket scene in 2023 and have played a key role in revitalizing the Maharashtra Premier League. In their debut season, the team reached the state playoffs, and in 2024, they advanced to the final, where they were narrowly defeated by the Ratnagiri Jets. All MPL matches are held at the MCA International Stadium in Pune, which seats 45,000 spectators. The league's broadcast reach has expanded to 170 million viewers, making the Maharashtra Premier League the largest regional cricket tournament in India after the IPL. The MPL now serves as a bridge between the Ranji Trophy and the Indian Premier League, offering young talent from Maharashtra a platform to showcase their skills at a higher level. Scouts from India's top teams closely follow MPL matches. The league has already helped launch the careers of Rajneesh Gurbani and Sachin Dhas, and fans can expect even more breakout stars in the upcoming season. "We are proud to sponsor Eagle Nashik Titans — a rising franchise that shares our ambitions. Over the past two seasons, the team has shown steady progress and impressive results. They're also doing a great job developing young talent — just look at top-scorer Atharva Kale's performance in MPL 2024. The league has become a launchpad for the next generation of stars, many of whom move on to IPL clubs and achieve global recognition. We're excited to support regional cricket and contribute to the broader growth of India's sporting landscape," said a representative of 1xBat. As part of the partnership between 1xBat Sporting Lines and Eagle Nashik Titans, the brand's logo will appear on the team's jerseys, training kits, official website, and social media. It will also be featured on giant screens and sight screens during MPL 2025 matches, with regular giveaways of team merchandise and tickets to Eagle Nashik Titans games included in the collaboration. "We're excited to join forces with 1xBat, a respected and well-known platform. Their media and financial support will help us grow stronger and shine a brighter light on our emerging players. This season, we're going all in for the trophy, and wearing the 1xBat logo on our jerseys gives us even more drive to succeed," said a representative of Eagle Nashik Titans.

Watch: Indian Wicket-Keeper Rattles The Stumps On Both Ends With One Throw, Makes Stunning Run Out
Wicket-keeper Suraj Shinde made a remarkable run-out during MPL 2025 tournament. Shinde's throw dislodged bails at the striker's end, but ricocheted to hit the non-striker's stumps. Harsh Mogaveera was run out while attempting a quick single after the throw. A spectacularly unique piece of fielding took place in the ongoing Maharashtra Premier League (MPL) 2025 tournament. Wicket-keeper Suraj Shinde was at the heart of the sensational run out, playing for Puneri Bappa against Raigad Royals. Shinde's throw had initially dislodged the bails at the striker's end, but the batter was already home. But in an incredible twist, the ball ricocheted off the stumps at one end and went on to hit the stumps at the non-striker's end. This meant that the non-striker, who was outside his crease, was run out! The incident happened in the very first over of the second innings of the match, with Raigad Royals having been set a target of 203 by Puneri Bappa. On the fifth ball of the over, striker Siddhesh Veer had nudged the ball towards the on-side, and tried to sneak a quick single. However, wicket-keeper Suraj Shinde made a quick throw from behind the stumps after collecting the ball. Fortunately for Veer, he was back to his crease on time. However, misfortune struck his opening partner Harsh Mogaveera, who got run out as the ball smashed onto the stumps at the non-striker's end. Watch: Bizarre run-out occurs as wicket-keeper dislodges stumps on both ends — Media (@lncognltooo) June 8, 2025 It resulted in Shinde looking like a hero, having inflicted one of the most unique run out moments you can find in cricket. Shinde had previously smashed 40 runs off just 12 balls in that match, and the run out capped off a superb evening for him, as Puneri Bappa ended up winning by 99 runs. A similar run out, however, has occurred before. Andre Russell gets run-out in strangest possible way, Fans say 'unlucky' #AndreRussell #BBL11 — Tejas (@STejas4444) January 22, 2022 In 2022, West Indian powerhouse Andre Russell got run out at the non-striker's end after falling short while trying to take a single, as the ball hit the stumps on both ends after a throw from the slip cordon by Sri Lankan Thisara Perera. This incident had occurred in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
