TUTI Patriots vs Lyca Kovai Kings, 9th Match, Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2018 - HighlightsTP vs LKK, 9th Match, Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2018 - Highlights

T Natarajan to Akash Sumra, out Caught by Rohith!! Edged and taken! Natarajan has his second. Those cutters doing the trick here for him. This was angled across Sumra from a fuller length, he made room for the big drive and could only get a faint edge on it. Comfortably taken by the keeper. Akash Sumra c Rohith b T Natarajan 5(7)

Prasanth Rajesh to Sathish, out Caught by T Natarajan!! Holes out to the deep! Was tossed up invitingly, followed Sathish who backed away for the slog. Couldn't connect it and sent it flat to deep mid-wicket where Natarajan took it easily. Just 5 off the over! Pure gold! Superb stuff from Rajesh. Sathish c T Natarajan b Prasanth Rajesh 18(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

T Natarajan to Sathish, SIX, brilliant from Sathish, this is experience showing and the result is a damage to Natarajan's figures. Was an excellent first four balls but the last two have disappeared. Slower one outside off, short and wide as well, Sathish just makes room to open the bat face. Slices it over deep backward point

T Natarajan to Sathish, FOUR, super shot! Wasn't that bad a ball to be honest. Very full and wide outside off, Sathish is expecting the length and sits deep in the crease before lofting it with all the power he could muster. Clears extra cover and that will do

T Natarajan to Malolan Rangarajan, out Caught by Rohith!! The over gets better. Three dots now and it has a wicket in it as well. Superb from Natarajan, extra bounce on this off cutter that is angled across Rangarajan. A slash attempted once more and this time gets bat on it but only a tiny edge. Comfortable take for Rohith behind the sticks. The Kings are pulling things back superbly here. If they can keep the score to less than 200, it will have been an incredible effort. Malolan Rangarajan c Rohith b T Natarajan 6(9) [4s-1]

S Ajith Ram to Malolan Rangarajan, FOUR, poor from long-on and allows a boundary. The fielding from the Kings has been atrocious tonight. This was powered by Rangarajan off the back foot, strong bottom hand as he struck this past the bowler. Should have been a brace at the most but Rajesh makes a mess of the stop

S Ajith Ram to Akshay Srinivasan, out Bowled!! Ram has his revenge instantly. This is a huge scalp for the Kings and could make a decent difference to the eventual score. Srinivasan's adventurous innings ends. Went for the slog, lost his shape completely and ended up getting castled. Did survive quite a few close shouts earlier but I must say that this has been an impact cameo nevertheless. Akshay Srinivasan b S Ajith Ram 45(21) [4s-5 6s-2]

S Ajith Ram to Akshay Srinivasan, FOUR, Srinivasan is in such sublime touch tonight. This was floated up outside off, slightly wide and he makes room to ease past point. Nobody in the deep and another boundary

K Vignesh to S Dinesh, out Caught by Rohith!! Some respite for the Kings. The dangerous Dinesh has to go. Extra bounce on this shorter length delivery, he went hard for the cut and got an edge that was pouched comfortably by Rohith. The on-air comms were speaking about spirit of the game as Dinesh had walked instantly but honestly, there was no way he was going to escape even if he didn't. It was such a fat edge. Nevertheless, a crucial breakthrough for the Kings. S Dinesh c Rohith b K Vignesh 59(42) [4s-3 6s-4]

Shahrukh Khan to Akshay Srinivasan, SIX, Srinivasan might as well take a lottery ticket tonight. What luck! Another paddle scoop and it was in the air for a while as deep backward square leg tried to get across with a leap. Cleared him comfortably in the end

Shahrukh Khan to Akshay Srinivasan, FOUR, disastrous stuff from Shahrukh, just not bowling to his field. Fired on the pads once more, Srinivasan just has to beat short fine leg and he does so with a fine sweep

Shahrukh Khan to Akshay Srinivasan, FOUR, this is poor bowling, speared on the pads with fine leg in the ring and Srinivasan just paddle sweeps it past the fielder. Was almost a catch but wouldn't have carried

Shahrukh Khan to Akshay Srinivasan, SIX, Srinivasan is living a charmed life at the moment, full of adventure and close shaves. This was flatter around leg, he shuffled across and scooped it towards fine leg. Struck it with the wind and that helped to clear a leaping fielder who tried his best but was never going to reach it

Antony Dhas to Akshay Srinivasan, FOUR, more fortune for Srinivasan and agony for Dhas. Shortish outside off, attempted slash and got a thick edge that just eluded a diving Rohith to the fence

Antony Dhas to Akshay Srinivasan, FOUR, uppish but well wide of backward square leg and it races to the fence. Very full on the pads, Srinivasan nonchalantly flicked it aerially and placed it well

Antony Dhas to Akshay Srinivasan, 2 runs, did that carry? Nah, just short and the long-on fielder did well to make the stop cleanly despite the bad bounce. Fuller ball, Srinivasan mistimed the slog and in the end, got lucky. Gets a brace

Prasanth Rajesh to S Dinesh, SIX, that's 50 for Dinesh! Gets there in style with a six. Sees some flight on it and launches it straight through the line down the ground. Safest spot to hit the ball and gets a maximum. Brings up the 100 as well for the Patriots

S Ajith Ram to Subramanian Anand, out Bowled!! There's another wicket. So, the Kings are fighting back a bit now with these twin strikes. This was tossed up around off, invited Anand to go for the big shot and he just went for the slog. Was the arm ball and skid off the pitch to beat the bat before disturbing the timber. Subramanian Anand b S Ajith Ram 0(4)

Prasanth Rajesh to Kaushik Gandhi, out Caught&Bowled!! Gone this time! Finally, a catch taken. It's Rajesh who breaks the partnership and he is elated. Flatter one outside off, skids off the track as Gandhi went for the pull. Couldn't control it at all and skewed it straight up in the air. Rajesh settled under the skier calmly. Massive wicket. Kaushik Gandhi c and b Prasanth Rajesh 43(25) [4s-3 6s-3]

Prasanth Rajesh to S Dinesh, SIX, Dinesh is motoring along now and hitting some clean sixes. Gets another one on a shorter length, he just shuffles across on the back foot and mauls the pull over deep mid-wicket

S Ajith Ram to S Dinesh, SIX, hammered away! Too short outside off, Dinesh just stands tall and flat-bats it comfortably over long-on. Such power!

S Ajith Ram to Kaushik Gandhi, 1 run, another dropped catch! Second life for Gandhi and you cannot afford to make such messy type of fielding attempts. Shortish and around leg, Gandhi mistimed the flick to deep mid-wicket where the fielder had two attempts to take it but spilled it in the end. Poor!

Antony Dhas to Kaushik Gandhi, SIX, whoa, he didn't seem to have connected that well but chose his spot well. In the end, it goes all the way for a flat six. Wide half-volley from Dhas, sliced off the front foot behind point

T Natarajan to S Dinesh, SIX, both batsmen matching each other stroke for stroke at the moment. Dinesh's turn to clear the fence, short of a length ball and he just went ahead to flat-bat it down the ground. Didn't get a big piece of it but had enough to get a six

T Natarajan to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, more runs. Attempted yorker from Natarajan but sprays a wide full toss outside off, Gandhi just had to pick his spot and he opens the face to slice it behind point. No chance for third man who was a bit fine as well

K Vignesh to Kaushik Gandhi, SIX, high in the air for a while and it's also got the distance over wide long-on. Spoils what was shaping up to be a good over from Vignesh. Fullish outside off, probably the slower one and Gandhi picked it early before hoicking it away. The Patriots are off to a flier here

K Vignesh to S Dinesh, FOUR, delicious stroke! Always a sight to behold when a left-hander drives on the up and Dinesh has timed the pants off this one. Not really a half volley but he got forward and drove on the rise, split the gap at extra cover with ease

Shahrukh Khan to Kaushik Gandhi, SIX, bang! The move to introduce Shahrukh has certainly backfired. Fuller this time, very flat and in the arc for Gandhi who wisely goes straight back over the bowler's head. Connects well and sends it over the ropes

Shahrukh Khan to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, poor ball and gets the treatment. Shahrukh spears this full and wide outside off, nobody in the deep and Gandhi just had to go over the infield, does so by lifting it over point with ease

K Vignesh to S Dinesh, FOUR, excellent stroke! Wide half-volley, Dinesh gets forward and drills the square drive behind point. Gets it well square of third man this time. Consecutive boundaries for Dinesh

K Vignesh to S Dinesh, FOUR, thick edge but well wide of slip and fine to the third man fence. Back of a length, slanting across Dinesh who drives without any footwork. This pitch does have some spice with the new ball and the nick is induced, goes safe

T Natarajan to Kaushik Gandhi, 1 run, dropped by Mukund! It's a dolly and the Kings' captain puts down his opposite number who is also a close friend of his. Talk about friendship goals! Jokes apart, this was a sitter and should have been taken. Fuller ball, Gandhi was early into the drive and scooped it straight towards Mukund made a meal of it. Parried it towards mid-off

T Natarajan to Kaushik Gandhi, FOUR, sweetly done! Overcooked and on the pads, doesn't get easier than this and an in-form Gandhi won't miss out. Nonchalantly clips it wide of mid-on, didn't bother keeping it down and didn't have to either as he timed and placed it beautifully
