Nightmare for the bowling side, blessing for the batting side. A 34-run over decided the secondary finalist of the ongoing TNPL 2025. Vimal Khumar's flamboyant knock confirmed a final match spot for Dindigul Dragons (DD). In the title decider match, Dragons will face Tiruppur Tamizhans.
In an over of Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) bowler Rohith Suthar, Khumar successfully hit 5 over boundaries and one boundary. He started the over with a lightning-fast four, followed by 5 hard-hitting 6s. After the end of over 16, DD was on 127 for 4; from there, after the next over, the scoreboard showed 161/4, a huge jump in the run chase for the second batting side.
Before the over, the match was in a well-balanced position; both of the teams had a fair amount of chances to win the game and enter into the final for a title shot. But that single over almost threw CSG out of the equation. CSG was in great form throughout the beginning of this season's TNPL. They went straightaway for a 7-match undefeated streak before falling short against the Ravichandran Ashwin-led team, which is the Dindigul Dragons.
Dindigul Dragons won the match by 4 wickets against Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG). But the man who took the team close to the entrance of the last round did not manage to stay on the crease for the winning hit. Just before the conclusion of the contest, Khumar lost his wicket and went back to the pavilion after scoring a match-winning 65-run innings of 30 balls.
In the same over where he claimed 34 runs, he completed his fifty. During the swashbuckling innings, the 22-year-old hoisted 5 deliveries for maximum and smacked on five occasions for 4s, which took his strike rate to 216.67.
