Tamil Nadu Premier League 2025: Points Table, Top Run-Scorers & Wicket-Takers After DD vs CSG

TD Lokesh Raj pulled off a brilliant five-wicket haul in just two overs, helping Chepauk Super Gillies snatch an eight-run win. With this, they’ve now won all four of their games. Dindigul came out strong in their chase of 181, and Ravichandran Ashwin was hitting the ball all around the ground, but it just wasn’t enough in the end.

At the other end, Shivam Singh struggled and was eventually caught at the backward point off M Silambarasan’s bowling in the 5th over. Then, the key pair of Ashwin and Baba Indrajith took the team to 53/1 at the end of the Powerplay, but the scoring rate dipped for the next few overs. With the pressure rising, Ashwin started to step on the gas in the 10th over, and he got to his fifty off 30 balls eventually. Soon, runs started to flow from both ends as Indrajith started to play some classic shots, which pushed the pressure onto the Chepauk Super Gillies.

Tanwar and Lokesh Turn the Game with Late Strikes

The 100-run partnership was brought up at the end of the 16th over, but Ashwin holed out to long-off with Abhishek Tanwar breaking the partnership. In the very next over, TD Lokesh Raj picked up three wickets, including the massive scalp of Indrajith, to push his side ahead in a crucial situation. With 18 runs required off the last 12 balls, Tanwar bowled Karthik Saran as Dindigul lost their 6th wicket.

Tanwar still seemed to have made a huge blunder as he came up with a front-foot no-ball at the end of the penultimate over. However, he kept his composure and delivered a dot ball. In the final over, Lokesh plucked out a stunning return to send back Aakash Sharma. At the same time, he dismissed Varun Chakravarthy off the final delivery of the innings to complete a sensational five-wicket haul.
