The seventh edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League could not have had a better start as Sai Sudharsan produced an exhibition of high-quality batsmanship. His sensational knock of 86 (45b, 8x4, 4x6) set up a 70-run win for Lyca Kovai Kings against iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans at the Sri Ramakrishna College ground here on Monday.
Asked to bat, Kovai Kings were reduced to 14 for three in the third over before Sai Sudharsan took charge and guided his side to a big total of 179 for seven. He found support from U. Mukilesh (33), the duo adding 82 for the fourth wicket.
In reply, Tiruppur Tamizhans’ chase began well as Tushar Raheja (33) and K. Vishal Vaidya scored quick runs in the PowerPlay before Shahrukh Khan trapped the latter in front.
