The 9th edition of the Late Maneck Golvala T10 Premier League concluded on April 5, 2026, at the Parsee Gymkhana grounds in Mumbai, with Team Surat claiming the championship title. The three-day tournament, held from April 3 to 5, brought together five regional teams—Surat, Navsari, Nagpur, Hyderabad, and hosts Mumbai—in a fast-paced T10 format designed to showcase the cricketing talent within the Parsi community.

Organized by Parsee Gymkhana and sponsored by President Mehli Golvala, the invitational event has evolved from its original T20 format into a shorter, more dynamic competition that attracted both on-site spectators and a global online audience. The tournament featured highly competitive matches, culminating in a final between Surat and Navsari.

In the semifinals, Navsari secured a narrow victory over Nagpur, chasing down a target of 101 runs with nine wickets in hand and 0.4 overs to spare. Concurrently, Surat posted 112 runs for three wickets and successfully limited Mumbai to 91 for seven, booking their place in the final.

The championship match saw Surat win the toss and elect to bat first, posting 105 runs for five wickets in their allotted 10 overs. Behzad Billimoria was the standout batsman, scoring 44 runs off 18 deliveries, including three boundaries and four sixes. Navsari’s response fell short, as they managed 81 runs for four wickets, handing Surat a 24-run victory.

An awards ceremony followed the final, with former Indian cricketer Karsan Ghavri serving as chief guest alongside Parsee Gymkhana officials Vice President and Cricket Secretary Khodadad Yezdegardi. Individual honors were presented to Khushru Kadwa (Bowler of the Tournament), Kurush Jagidar (Player of the Tournament), Yohan Doongaji (Batsman of the Tournament), and Behzad Billimoria, who received both Player of the Finals and Best Bowler awards.

Ghavri reflected on the significance of the event, noting the importance of sustaining Parsi cricket amid dwindling representation at the international level. “It was good to see members of the Parsi community come together to play brilliant cricket,” he said, recalling his early days alongside renowned players such as Polly Umrigar.

Surat captain Yazad Variava expressed satisfaction with his team’s performance, highlighting the organization’s hospitality and his team’s perseverance after four consecutive years without a title. “The competition was intense, with all teams performing admirably,” he said. “Returning home as champions, the warm celebratory welcome we received made the victory even more memorable.”

Beyond the scores and trophies, the tournament reaffirmed the enduring legacy of the late Maneck Golvala and underscored the vibrant spirit of Parsi cricket, bringing the community together in celebration of their shared heritage and passion for the sport.
