TNPL 2018: Skipper Jagadeesan steers Dragons to 9-wicket victory

It was a resounding victory for Dindigul Dragons against the Chepauk Super Gillies. They never looked like not chasing this one. 

Jagadeesan and Hari got them off to a flier. They had an 89 runs opening partnership in just 10.2 overs. 

Hari departed then but Jagadeesan ensured he stays till the end. Vivek finished with a maximum and Dindigul chased it down in just 13.3 overs.

CSG's innings sums up that the batting woes this season who were the defending champions last year. They never really got momentum after the Powerplay and wickets kept falling, the set batsmen didn't carry on and in the end, this is a poor performance. 

Only Gopinath and Aarif got some sort of a score while the others just capitulated in the face of some tight bowling from the Dragons. 

The bowling was good and fielding was top class, definitely the best innings this season.

Silambarasan, Nag and Varun were the standout performers for the Dragons, their efforts made the chase easier for Jagadeesan.

Brief Scores: Dindigul Dragons 121/1 (N Jagadeesan 63*, Hari Nishanth 34; Murugan Ashwin 1/27) beat Chepauk Super Gillies by 9 wickets
