Pradosh Ranjan Paul got Chepauk Super Gillies off to a winning start with a swashbuckling 88 (55b, 12x4, 1x6) as the four-time champion breezed past Salem Spartans by 52 runs at the Sri Ramakrishna College ground here on Tuesday.
Electing to bat, Super Gillies amassed 217 for five, riding on Pradosh’s half-century, before Sanjay Yadav provided the final flourish with an unbeaten 31 (12b, 2x4, 3x6).
Chasing a huge target, Spartans were never in the hunt.
