Deeban’s brilliant ton goes in vain

CHENNAI: A brilliant century by K Deeban Lingesh went in vain as Jeppiaar Engineering lost to RKM Vivekananda in the semi-finals of the YNOT Studios – TNCA inter-college invitational cricket tournament.

Batting first, RKM scored 281. In reply, Jeppiaar was bowled out for 250 with more than two overs remaining. Lingesh smacked 103 (82b, 8x4, 7x6) but that wasn’t enough to take his team over the finish line.
