Scorecard summary
Karaikudi Kaalai 165/6(20 overs)
VB Thiruvallur Veerans 167/5(18.4 overs)

There is a saying in Sanskrit which goes, 'Yatr, tatr, sarvatr'. Roughly translated, it means 'Here, there and everywhere'. Aparajith was an embodiment of that. Yes, a couple of catches were dropped off him, but his strokeplay was a delight to watch. In the end, the century was well deserved and he deserves every bit of praise that comes his way after this knock.

There were 22 boundaries in the innings and 18 off them came off Aparajith's bat. We can never speak enough of how he went with his innings.

No surprise that Baba Aparajith is the Man of the match. It was a pleasure bringing to you the coverage of this game. Do join us tomorrow for third game. Till then it's a good night from all of us here

Ganapathy to Malolan, OUT

full toss outside the off stump. He pulls it to long on. The fielder takes it but there is a doubt if it was over the waist. It was on its way down as the batsman played the stroke. The sideways replay clinches it and Rangarajan has to go after his cameo
