The second season of the Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL) 2025 is underway and Dehradun Warriors made a strong start as they began their campaign with a win against USN Indians. The Warriors have their eye set on the title and with a strong strong they definitely have the potential to win. The team has several match winners and the head coach Manish Jha named the X-factors in an exclusive interview with News24.
When asked about the biggest X-factor of Warriors team, coach Manish Jha names two players who stand out. He said: “For our team, Yuvraj Chaudhary and Devendra Bora stand out. Devendra had a great last season and was part of the India U-23 camp. Sanskar Rawat performed really well last season. We also have Naveen Singh, who has been a net bowler for Rajasthan Royals over the last two seasons. These players bring top-level experience and can guide the younger members of the squad during crunch situations.”
