The seventh edition of Madras High Court Chief Justice’s XI versus the Advocate General’s XI is all set to take place at the M.A. Chidambaram cricket stadium in Chepauk in Chennai on January 20, 2024. The judges and the lawyers have already begun their net practice.
Ever since the annual cricket match, conducted during the Pongal season, was started in 2018 by then AG Vijay Narayan and advocate V. Ramesh, the judges have won on only one occassion, during the tenure of former Chief Justice Amreshwar Pratap Sahi in January 2020.
The expectations this year have risen, because incumbent Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala is a keen sportsman and a tennis player himself. Incumbent Advocate General A.G. Shunmugasundaram too, has been showing a keen interest in the matches for past three years.
