Key Points

Yuzvendra Chahal's outstanding bowling (4-11) helped Income Tax secure a victory against Reliance in the DY Patil T20 Cup.
Yash Dhull's explosive innings (64 off 32 balls) guided DY Patil Blue to a win over Nirlon in the tournament.
Viswaraj Singh Jadeja and Aman Mokate's unbeaten 91s led CAG to a dominant 10-wicket victory against Jain Irrigation.
Mumbai Customs defeated CGST by 35 runs, with Sachin Yadav's 77 being a key contribution.

A fiery spell from Yuzvendra Chahal set the tone for the new season as Income Tax cruised past Reliance by seven wickets on the opening day of the 20th edition DY Patil T20 Cup at the DY Patil Stadium in Nerul, Navi Mumbai on Monday.

Chahal’s 4-11 helped Income Tax restrict Reliance to just 131 for nine in their 20 overs. The chase was fashioned by an unbeaten 31 by Venkatesh Iyer, who also picked up a wicket with his medium-pace.

In the other morning contest at the University Ground, Mumbai Customs beat CGST by 35 runs.

Afternoon Matches: Dhull and Tendulkar Shine

Later in the afternoon, Karsh Kothari (4-31) and Arjun Tendulkar (3-34) starred with the ball for DY Patil Blue as they restricted Nirlon to 154 at the Stadium. Later with the bat, DY Patil Blue’s much vaunted batting line-up led by teenage prodigy Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (2) and Sarfaraz Khan (0) failed to fire. But Yash Dhull (64: 32b, 8x4, 3x6) starred as Blue beat Nirlon by four wickets.

In the other afternoon encounter at University Ground, CAG completely outclassed Jain Irrigation by 10 wickets. The openers Viswaraj Singh Jadeja (91 n.o.: 53b, 12x4, 4x6) and Aman Mokate (91 n.o.: 44b, 8x4, 6x6) completely dominated Jain Irrigation as they chased down the target of 191 with 10 wickets and four overs to spare.
