WATCH: Star player from Virat Kohli’s RCB explodes in T20 league, smashed 7 sixes, his name is…

Preity Zinta co-owned St Lucia Kings chased down 203 to win against Guyana Amazon Warriors in match No. 13 of CPL 2025.

Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ended a 18-year wait to finally win the IPL 2025 title earlier this year. One of the star of RCB triumph was West Indies all-rounder Romario Shepherd, who was bought for only Rs 1.5 crore in the IPL 2025 mega auction last year.

Shepherd is turning out for Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025 season. On Wednesday, Shepherd was at his explosive best, smashing unbeaten 73 off just 34 balls with 7 sixes and 5 fours to rescue his side from 78 for 5 to 202 for 6 in 20 overs after batting first.

But defending champions St Lucia Kings, co-owned by Bollywood star Preity Zinta posted an impressive four-wicket win to chase down the 203-run target. Ackeem Auguste played a wonderful innings of 73 off 35 balls to earn the player of the match award and see the Kings over the line by four wickets with 11 balls remaining.

The Kings laid down a real marker in the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, hauling in a total of 202/6 set by the Warriors in ice cool fashion, the victory sees them move to second position in the table with six points from five matches albeit two of those were abandoned due to rain.

The Warriors would be disappointed not to defend a robust total as they won the toss and elected to bat first, Shepherd plundering 73 off just 34 balls with five fours and seven sixes to set a challenging score. The Kings didn’t blink in their response as they inflicted a first defeat of this year’s competition on their opponents.

Tim Seifert and Auguste got the chase off to something of a flier after the early loss of Johnson Charles, 86 runs smashed in the powerplay broke the back of the total and the reigning CPL champions never looked back from there.

Story Highlights

1. RCB star all-rounder Romario Shepherd smashed 7 sixes in unbeaten fifty vs St Lucia Kings.
2. Romario Shepherd scored 73 off 34 balls to rescue Guyana Amazon Warriors from 78 for 5.
3. Defending champions St Lucia Kings chased down 203 to win with four wickets to spare as Ackeem Auguste smashed 73 off 35 balls.

Auguste eventually fell by holing out to the cover sweeper off Jediah Blades to leave his side on 140-4 and plenty still to do but the experienced hands of Tim David (25), Aaron Jones (16) and captain David Wiese (10 not out) saw the Warriors home as they sent a message to the rest of the field that they remain in the hunt for a title defence. ​ ​
