Chepauk Super Gillies vs Dindigul Dragons, 25th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Trilok Nag to A Aarif, out Caught by Mohan Abhinav!! Another superb catch to wrap the innings up. The Dragons have been sensational in the field, particularly the catching. Abhinav is the man this time, moves quickly from mid-wicket and dives forward in time to pluck a sharp chance. Was a slower short ball and Aarif totally mistimed the pull. CSG fold on a paltry total. A Aarif c Mohan Abhinav b Trilok Nag 36(34) [4s-2 6s-2]

M Silambarasan to Arun Kumar, out Caught by Balchander Anirudh!! Third wicket in the over for Silambarasan! He is having a ball out there. Just one run so far in the over too. Outstanding. Another quicker one that skids onto Kumar who tried the flat-batting slog. Skewed it high towards long-on where Anirudh gobbled it up. Arun Kumar c Balchander Anirudh b M Silambarasan 0(1)

M Silambarasan to Samruddh Bhat, out Caught by Balchander Anirudh!! Another fine catch, this time it's Anirudh at deep mid-wicket. Was dipping on him a bit but he timed the charge towards the ball nicely and judged it perfectly. Made it look easy. Was a slider from Silambarasan and Bhat went for the slog. Skewed it high in the air and he knew he hadn't hit it well. CSG innings has been derailed in the last few overs. Samruddh Bhat c Balchander Anirudh b M Silambarasan 0(2)

M Silambarasan to MK Sivakumar, out Caught by R Vivek!! One-handed stunner from Vivek! Wow! Incredible catching and that's the end of a struggling Sivakumar. Was tossed up by Silambarasan and Sivakumar went for the loft down the ground. Didn't connect it that well but had enough power and it seemed like a flat six for a moment. Before Vivek stretched out his right hand at long-on with all the nonchalance in the world. MK Sivakumar c R Vivek b M Silambarasan 3(10)

Hari Nishanth to A Aarif, SIX, that's gone all the way! More of a chip after using his feet but Aarif has timed this well and more importantly, hit it dead straight down the ground. Long-on tried his best by racing to his left, was never going to get there though

Hari Nishanth to A Aarif, FOUR, off the slice but goes away fine and beats short third man to the fence. Was another half-tracker, Aarif went hard on the cut and got himself and his team some useful runs

Hari Nishanth to Harish Kumar, out Caught by M Mohammed!! Nishanth has his revenge instantly. Another half-tracker, this probably stuck onto the surface a bit and Kumar was early into the pull. Didn't want to keep it down either and ended up lobbing it to deep mid-wicket. Easy peasy for Mohammed. CSG losing the plot. Harish Kumar c M Mohammed b Hari Nishanth 8(5) [6s-1]

Hari Nishanth to Harish Kumar, SIX, that's brute power from Kumar, such a clean strike. Was fractionally short and he sat back to belt the pull over cow corner. Flat sis

Varun Totadri to Murugan Ashwin, out Caught by R Vivek!! Massive strike from Totadri! What a spell from him tonight! Cleverly slows it down but doesn't give it in the arc for Ashwin who looks to go downtown. Doesn't get the desired distance on the stroke and it's an easy catch for long-on. Massive dent to the Gillies' hopes for reaching a competitive score. Murugan Ashwin c R Vivek b Varun Totadri 15(23)

Mohan Abhinav to A Aarif, SIX, intent from Aarif. Marches down the track, reaches the pitch and tonks it over the bowler's head for a maximum

Varun Totadri to A Aarif, FOUR, threads the gap on this occasion. Slow and too short, Aarif protracts his hands and smears the cut in the gap between short third man and backwardp oint

Trilok Nag to Sasidev, out Bowled!! Chopped back. Two wickets in successive overs for the Dragons and they are on top now. Back of a length and cutting back in, Sasidev was cramped for room and didn't have enough space to free his arms for the cut. Ended up getting a faint inside edge and it rolls back onto the stumps. Sasidev b Trilok Nag 2(2)

Varun Totadri to Gopinath, out Caught&Bowled!! Skipper departs. Excellent catch by Varun Totadri and he strikes gold in his first over. A partnership that was threatening to break free has been broken. Quicker and held up on the pitch, Gopinath checks his defence and checks too handsomely to lob it to the right of the bowler. Varun swiftly moves across, prances low and swallows it. [b]Gopinath c and b Varun Totadri 25(18) [4s-2 6s-1][/b

Trilok Nag to Gopinath, SIX, this looked uncharacterstic from Gopinath, but he won't mind. Set up pretty late for the ball as the saw the ball rising towards his torso. Connected it beautifully and the breeze takes it all the way over cow corner

Trilok Nag to Murugan Ashwin, 1 run, Ashwin sends this length ball into the night sky, takes ages to descend. A miscue of course, three fielders converged and it was long-on fielder who rushed it and failed to cling onto the skier

Mohan Abhinav to B Rahul, out Caught by M Silambarasan!! Sometimes half-trackers can fetch you wickets as well. Abhinav once again dragged it short, Rahul went back and was perhaps late into the shot as he was hurried by the skiddiness of this track. Pulled it ungainly to the fielder at mid-off, who completes the catch. B Rahul c M Silambarasan b Mohan Abhinav 14(14) [4s-2]

Mohan Abhinav to B Rahul, FOUR, rank long hop and Rahul dismisses it from his presence. Pivoted back, picked the length early and muscled it over mid-wicket

Mohan Abhinav to Gopinath, FOUR, lovely shot from Gopinath. Knew the fielder was inside the ring at mid-off, therefore he treked forward and met the pitch. Wasn't too close and manages to dump it for a one-bounce four

Yazh Arun Mozhi to Gopinath, FOUR, this is like adding insult to injury. Half-tracker, Gopinath hangs back and clubs it in the gap at cow corner

Yazh Arun Mozhi to B Rahul, 1 run, dropped. Rahul lowers his stance and hammers it back at the bowler. Mozhi gets his right hand across, can't hold onto it. A tough chance really and seems like he has taken a blow. So, he is grimacing in pain and down on the ground. Oh, looks like he is fine and ready to continue

Yazh Arun Mozhi to B Rahul, FOUR, short and punished. Rahul reaches out and caresses it through extra cover

M Mohammed to S Karthik, out Caught by Balchander Anirudh!! There you go. It's always the bowler who has the last laugh. Karthik gets carried away a bit; just leans into a checked-pushed uppishly and straight to cover, who makes no mistake. Mohammed with a John Cena like 'You can't see me' celebration. S Karthik c Balchander Anirudh b M Mohammed 13(8) [4s-3]

M Mohammed to S Karthik, FOUR, stamping his authority like a boss. Nifty use of the feet from Karthik, expected Mohammed to bowl it full. Engineered some room and thrashed it over covers

M Mohammed to S Karthik, FOUR, Karthik is in some sublime form. Here's the evidence. Just bends his weight forward, lifts this full ball through the line over mid-off and goes downtown for shopping to earn his second boundary

M Silambarasan to S Karthik, FOUR, wow. What a start for Karthik and CSG. He was their star peformer with the bat in their last match and begins in a fine fashion here. Makes room upon seeing the ball dropped short and unleashes his strong bottom-hand to lace the cut behind point
