Karaikudi Kaalai vs VB Kanchi Veerans, 8th Match, Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2018 - HighlightsKK vs VKV, 8th Match, Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2018 - Highlights

Yo Mahesh to S Ashwath, FOUR, banged down the ground! Decent finish for the Veerans. Full and in the slot outside off, he just made room and drilled it hard past the bowler. Struck it very straight and left long-off with no chance

Yo Mahesh to S Ashwath, FOUR, handy runs. Full and following Ashwath who was backing away to make room. Adjusts to wrist it away behind square on the leg-side. Handy runs these for the Veerans

Rajkumar to S Ashwath, out Sunil Sam Run Out!! Super work from the skipper. The Kaalais missed a plethora of run out chances a short while ago and Anirudha shows his boys how its done. This was jammed to cover and Sunil Sam wanted the single, probably confident after those sixes but there wasn't a run there. Goes back but it's too late. Anirudha had a tough angle to hit the stumps, yet managed the bulls-eye. A yard short at least. The captain is pleased with himself. Sunil Sam run out (Anirudha) 19(8) [4s-1 6s-2]

V Lakshman to Sunil Sam, SIX, 19 off the over! Lakshman isn't amused one bit but boy, what a strike once again from Sam! This was full and at the stumps, he just backed away and swung through the line. Straight down the ground and way over the sight screen. Just the kind of over the Veerans desperately needed

V Lakshman to Sunil Sam, SIX, holy molly, he's blasted this! I probably underestimated this bloke, he has just carted a short ball way into the crowd at deep mid-wicket. Lakshman became a bit predictable and Sam just backed away before throwing his bat at it. Connected sweetly

V Lakshman to Sunil Sam, FOUR, comedy of errors! Sam is living a charmed life out there. Once again is late on the bouncer and decides to go for the pull at the last moment. Gets a bit of glove and luckily for him, flies over a leaping R Kavin to the fence

Mohan Prasath to Subramania Siva, out Caught by Anirudha!! This is a massive wicket! All of a sudden, two potential finishers are back in the hut within succession. Veerans continue to mess up. This was floated wider outside off, Siva wanted to go inside out but skewed it high towards short third man. The skipper is stationed there and he won't drop these. Subramania Siva c Anirudha b Mohan Prasath 18(26)

Swaminathan to Sanjay Yadav, out Caught by Yo Mahesh!! Goes this time! Yadav will be gutted and so will the think tank. Had got enough in this over and with not much batting left, he could have gone deeper into the innings. Instead, tries another six with the heave but skews it off the outer half towards long-off. Yo Mahesh there judged it well and took a tumbling catch. Relief for the Kaalais because this man was looking deadly. Sanjay Yadav c Yo Mahesh b Swaminathan 27(13) [6s-4]

Swaminathan to Sanjay Yadav, SIX, three in a row! Absolutely clean ball-striking from Yadav and he's sending them deep into the crowd each time. Swaminathan isn't learning, fires it in again and gets slog swept once more. Way over deep mid-wicket this time. Momentum infusing over this for the Veerans

Swaminathan to Sanjay Yadav, SIX, raining sixes suddenly! Maybe Sanjay Yadav should have come out to bat higher in the order. He's just pummeling the bowlers. Gets another one that's in the arc, quicker through the air and powered over deep mid-wicket for a six with a slog sweep. These are mammoth sixes

Swaminathan to Sanjay Yadav, SIX, what a strike! Yadav has his second six and this is again proof of his brute force. Full and outside off, reaches out to slog sweep it over wide long-on. Picked the bones out of it

Maan Bafna to Sanjay Yadav, SIX, mowed deep into the stands! Much needed for the Veerans as the runs had dried up a bit in recent overs. Gets one in his slot and it's a flatter one as well, slog swept merrily over deep mid-wicket. Struck very hard

Rajkumar to Vishal Vaidhya, out Caught by Rajhamany Srinivasan! Slower one on a length, Vishal Vaidhya, searching for a boundary after 51 balls, tries to bottom-hand a lofted drive through the line, mistimes it straight into the hands of long-off who takes a simple catch. Vishal Vaidhya c Rajhamany Srinivasan b Rajkumar 40(34) [4s-2 6s-2]

Mohan Prasath to U Mukilesh, out Lbw! U Mukilesh expects turn which isn't there, a flat one skidding on, the arm-ball, U Mukilesh expects it to straighten and it doesn't. He gets on the back foot and flicks down the wrong line and misses. The umpire raises the finger after the appeal. It was plumb in terms of line, but might have been a little high. U Mukilesh lbw b Mohan Prasath 7(8) [4s-1]

Mohan Prasath to Vishal Vaidhya, SIX, shortish, Vishal Vaidhya crouches low and pulls all his weight behind that to launch the pull over deep mid-wicket for a 69m six

Swaminathan to U Mukilesh, FOUR, rank half-tracker, dispatched with a disdainful cut to deep backward point for four

V Lakshman to Lokeshwar, out Caught by R Kavin! A horror of a shot. A short of length delivery fractionally outside off and seaming ever so slightly away, Lokeshwar pokes tentatively trying to deflect it down to third man but gets it way too fine as the keeper tumbles across to hold onto a fine catch. Lokeshwar c R Kavin b V Lakshman 3(4)

V Lakshman to Vishal Vaidhya, FOUR, round the wicket, doesn't help, width outside off this time, the short length doesn't help, Vishal Vaidhya blazes the cut to the deep backward point fence for four

V Lakshman to Vishal Vaidhya, SIX, short and sitting up, Vishal Vaidhya gets right into position from a slightly open stance and nails the pull over deep mid-wicket for six. Yoh, the sound of leather on willow! Tonked!

Yo Mahesh to Vishal Vaidhya, FOUR, length delivery angling away from off-stump, Vishal Vaidhya gets forward and leans into an elegant drive, splitting the tiny gap between backward point and cover point for four

V Lakshman to Aparajith, out Caught by Swaminathan! A short one once again, Aparajith manages to time the pull once again, but can't keep it down this time. Less control, a little more skid off the pitch, and he picks out Swami at deep mid-wicket who takes it and exults in joy. Aparajith c Swaminathan b V Lakshman 4(4) [4s-1]

V Lakshman to Aparajith, FOUR, short and angling in once again, and Aparajith stands his ground to nail the pull to deep mid-wicket. Gets on top of it and rolls his wrists over to control it extremely well

Yo Mahesh to S Siddharth, out Caught by Shajahan! Just fractionally short and coming into the chest, S Siddharth is cramped on the pull but commits to it anyway, goes through with, and gets it off the splice towards long-on who runs in to settle under a regulation catch. S Siddharth c Shajahan b Yo Mahesh 0(4)
