Pokhara Sports/Sailesh Adhikari- NPL Season 2 unfolded as a powerful statement for Nepali cricket, blending experience, emerging talent, and fearless intent. The tournament not only delivered competitive cricket but also revealed new match-winners who stepped up when it mattered most.
At the core of the season stood Rohit Paudel, once again proving his class and temperament. As a dependable middle-order batter, he anchored innings under pressure, rotated strike smartly, and accelerated when required. His calm presence and cricketing intelligence brought stability to his side, reinforcing his role as one of Nepal’s most trusted T20 batters and leaders.
Alongside him rose Sher Malla, the embodiment of the season’s defining phrase. Fearless, aggressive, and confident, Malla played with the hunger of a lion discovering his roar. He took on bowlers without hesitation, shifted momentum with attacking stroke play, and emerged as one of the biggest revelations of NPL Season 2 — a true sher found in the den.
Trumpleman added valuable experience and balance to the competition. His all-round contributions, whether through timely runs or crucial breakthroughs, often turned matches at key moments. His composure under pressure provided assurance in tense situations.
Meanwhile, Tilak Bhandari impressed quietly but effectively. With discipline, control, and smart execution, he delivered impactful spells and proved that consistency and clarity of role are just as vital as flair.
Together, these performances shaped a memorable NPL Season 2- one defined by growth, belief, and rising strength in Nepali cricket. Congratulations to the Lumbini Lions for a remarkable campaign, inspiring teamwork, and for unleashing new lions who now roar with confidence on the national stage.
