Sunny BK — Pokhara Avengers Profile

Last picked, first win — three not out in Match 19

Sunny BK has played one match in NPL Season 3: Match 19 against Karnali Yaks, in which he made 3 not out off six balls and bowled one over for five runs. He was signed at the July 6, 2026 auction for NPR 2 lakh.

Role not specified in the verified record. Auction buy, NPR 2 lakh. Captain: Kushal Bhurtel. Head coach: Ajantha Mendis.

With his playing role unspecified in verified reports, Sunny is the unknown of the Season 3 group. Last picked is not least valued: the fifteenth name on a list is one injury, one tactical switch or one loss of form from the XI. His season is the purest opportunity story in the group — train like a starter and force the coaches to learn his name quickly.

The opportunity came in Match 19, the night Pokhara finally won. He arrived with the game already won — 217 for 3 on the board, Karnali Yaks bowled out for 154 — and made 3 not out off six balls, then bowled one over for five runs. It is a single line in the season file, but it is a winning line: his first game is the only game Pokhara have won.

What the numbers mean

The numbers are one line long: 3 not out, one over for five runs, no wicket. His batting average does not exist — he has not been dismissed — and his bowling economy of 5.00 comes from a single over. None of that says anything about his quality; it says he has had one game, and the game was already won when he arrived. The 3 not out is a footnote to a 63-run win, not a performance to judge.

The question for the run-in is whether the last name on the list stays in the side. Pokhara have two must-win matches left, and a player who has just been part of the only win has a better claim than most to keep his place. His role is still unspecified in the verified record — but a cricketer who trains like a starter and plays his part in a win is the kind of name that stays in an XI under pressure.

Where Pokhara Avengers stand

Sunny’s first game was the M19 win; the run-in asks whether the last name on the list can stay in the side for two more.

Only two wins keep the season alive. Beat Biratnagar Kings on Thursday 12 November and Kathmandu Gorkhas on Sunday 15 November and Pokhara reach six points — but with Kathmandu Gorkhas, Sudurpaschim Royals and Lumbini Lions already on seven or more, the last playoff place would come down to net run rate, and to Chitwan Rhinos losing both of their remaining matches while Biratnagar Kings and Karnali Yaks drop at least one each. Another defeat ends their season outright. Full list: NPL Schedule.
