Milestone
That's it from us tonight. Do come back tomorrow for more coverage of the TNPL and for all the matches played around the globe. This was me, Arjun Bhalla, signing off on the behalf on my partners Akshay Bhide and Somya Kapoor. Good night and take care!
Shahrukh Khan | MoM | Winning skipper: We have been batting well for the last three games. We hadn't batted much in the middle order and Ash did a tremedous job. I enjoyed my innings, and under pressure it feels great to perform. Hopefully I can do it in the future as well. You can't go into an IPL without scoring runs. And is helping me perform.
Shahrukh Khan gets the Man of the Match award.
NS Chaturved | Losing skipper: They were a better team with bat, ball and on the field. It was chasable because the wicket was good. They didn't allow us to build partnerships. Everybody followed their instincts and that is how we had asked them to bat. It is time to move on and turn around quickly.
Onto the Presentation Ceremony now.
Arjun: As the game was evenly poised, Kousik came out to middle to play a 15-ball 29 worth cameo. In the last four overs, Panthers needed 52 runs to score, Koushik tried playing his shot, he connected a couple of lusty blows but played too many of shots, as he night was ended with a spectacular catch by Venkataraman off Tanwar. When the cameo-man left the field, the chasing team needed 25 runs off the last eight balls, which was of course way out of the tail-enders’ reach. In the end, Lyca Kovai Kings registered their second win of the tourney and gathered two more points.
Arjun: By the eighth over, the chasing team lost Anirudh Sita Ram, courtesy of Divakar. Then came out Shajahan to assist NS Chaturved in the middle. The former wasn't timing the ball well, although Chaturved was doing the required hitting. SRK tried outclassing the opposition by bringing his triumph card. He brought back Ajith for the business. The left-arm spinner first deceived Shajahan in the air and forced him to play undue dot balls, which put the set Chuturved under pump. As soon as the set-batter came back on strike, he holed Ajith straight to the man at deep square and the match again opened up.
Arjun: Captain Shahrukh Khan’s power-packed 30-ball 58 enabled Kings to post a huge total of 172 runs against Madurai Panthers. The target was always on the tougher side but SRK’s men are known for leaking runs, the game against Dragons is the best example of that. Panthers too started the chase with a bang as the openers weren’t scared of taking their chances. The pair of K Rajkumar and Arun Karthik didn’t take too long and they were 32-0 in no time. However, Lyca Kovai’s Abhishek Tanwar brought them back by removing the former and Ajith Ram’s left arm knocked Karthik’s middle stump. With every wicket’s fall, a bit of chatter was induced and it went throughout the match.
Okay then, Lyca Kovai Kings has officially made Siechem Madurai Panthers choke on these slower conditions of Chennai, resulting in a 19-run win for Shahrukh Khan's men.
