Panthers Are Champions Again!

Yash and Yahvi lead a spirited title defense

Knight Riders Panthers U14B successfully defended their NAYCA Fall Tournament title, emerging as champions for the second consecutive year in 2026. The New Jersey-based team capped another impressive campaign with a spirited performance against RRA Superpulsers in the final.

Yash Nahar delivered a match-winning all-round performance, scoring 46 off 32 balls with seven boundaries before claiming three wickets for just 23 runs in six overs. His outstanding contribution earned him the Player of the Match award.

Yahvi Desai provided valuable support with a composed 35 off 52 balls, followed by economical bowling figures of 1/31 in six overs and two important catches. Her all-round contribution was equally significant in the championship victory.

The final also showcased a collective team effort, with disciplined bowling, committed fielding and composed batting helping the Panthers retain their crown.

Knight Riders Cricket Academy (formerly Cricmax Cricket Academy) congratulates every player and coach on this achievement. The back-to-back championship reflects the value of structured, progressive coaching in nurturing young talent, strengthening cricket communities and contributing to the future of youth cricket across New Jersey and the USA.
