As the dust of alumni rivalry settled and the cheers echoed from the sidelines, Team 2000 emerged as the undisputed champions of Yaari Cup 2025, delivering a performance that blended power, precision, and the kind of passion only decades of friendship can fuel.
They batted first — and wasted no time.
141 runs in just 12 overs.
A score that set the tone, raised eyebrows, and proved impossible for the rest of OSA to chase.
From the very first over, the intent was clear. Big shots. Smart partnerships. Total belief.
At the heart of this storm stood Gopal Krishan, the man of the moment — and officially declared Man of the Match. His all-round brilliance gave Team 2000 the edge, and his energy uplifted every teammate on and off the pitch.
But this victory was about more than just cricket.
It was about legacy — about what it means to return to your roots and compete with the same fire you had decades ago.
It was about yaari — the friendships that last through innings and years.
And most of all, it was about showing the next generation what ISTCians are made of.
