The Story in Brief
N Jagadeesan hit an unbeaten 90 off 58 balls to steer Chepauk Super Gillies to a seven-wicket win over Dindigul Dragons in the TNPL in Natham on Sunday. The Chepauk captain, who crossed the 2,500-run mark in the league, led his team to their first win of the season after they chased down 127 with 22 balls to spare. Rain delayed the start by 30 minutes and made the pitch tricky.
Dindigul, asked to bat first, struggled to 126/8 in 20 overs after early wickets from Abhishek Tanwar. Opener Shivam Singh made 25, and captain Baba Indrajith added 21, but the total proved insufficient. Jagadeesan kept his composure, hitting timely boundaries and two sixes to seal the match. He said he was not bothered about personal runs but about making an impact.
The Indian Opinion
Jagadeesan's innings shows how experience matters on a difficult pitch. Some write off TNPL as a minor league, but players like Jagadeesan prove its quality. Still, Chepauk must not lean too heavily on one player. The next match against a stronger attack will test their batting depth.
