Ashwin’s knock goes in vain as Dindigul Dragons loses against Chepauk Super Gillies
Despite Ashwin’s heroics, the Dindigul Dragons could not defend their total. The Chepauk Super Gillies chased down the target in just 4.5 overs, led by an unbeaten partnership between Narayan Jagadeesan (32 off 14) and Baba Aparajith (31 off 14).
The Dragons’ bowlers struggled to contain the onslaught, resulting in a swift and emphatic victory for the Super Gillies. Notably, Ashwin’s earlier attempts in the tournament had not yielded significant scores, with just 5 and 6 runs against Trichy and Salem, respectively. However, his 45-run blitzkrieg in this match highlighted his capability as a dynamic opener, even if it couldn’t secure a win for his team.
