Top Batter & Orange Cap Holder: Joshua Richards Strengthens His Hold in Week 4

Joshua Richards continued his red-hot form in Week 4 of the Varistha Cheltenham Premier T20, producing yet another standout performance — this time against the Hatherley Hurricanes. He played a commanding knock, scoring a blistering 66 off just 39 deliveries, peppered with 5 well-timed fours and 4 towering sixes. Batting at an explosive strike rate of 169.23, Richards kept the scoreboard ticking at pace and maintained pressure on the opposition throughout his innings.

This knock not only anchored his team’s batting effort but also reinforced his dominance in the tournament. With consistent and impactful performances across the weeks, Richards firmly held on to the Orange Cap as the leading run-scorer. His ability to score quickly while playing with composure has made him one of the most feared and reliable batters in the competition so far.
