Yeh ghatna tab hui jab Chepauk Super Gillies, jo pehle batting kar rahi thi, ne ek bada score khada kiya – 212 runs for 7 wickets. Nellai Royal Kings ke liye yeh target chase karna ek badi challenge hai, kyunki unka historical record Chepauk ke khilaf strong raha hai, par is baar unki batting line-up par bada pressure hai. Aashiq ka bat tootna, jo FanCode ke X post mein bhi highlight hua, ek symbolic moment tha – jaise ke Nellai ke bowlers ke liye yeh match ek tooti hui shuruaat thi.
Chepauk Super Gillies ki batting ne shuru se hi Nellai ke bowlers ko pareshan kiya. Mokit Hariharan jaldi out ho gaye, lekin K Aashiq (54 runs) aur captain Baba Aparajith (41 runs) ne 83 runs ki crucial partnership banayi. Iske baad Vijay Shankar (47* runs) aur Swapnil Singh (45 runs) ne aggressive batting karke score ko 212 tak pahunchaya. Yeh performance yaad dilati hai 2016 ke TNPL ke pehle season ki, jab Chepauk ne apni dominance dikhai thi aur chaar baar champion bane. Valliappan Yudheeswaran ne 3 wickets lekar Nellai ke liye thodi ummeed jagayi, par unke bowlers, jaise Sonu Yadav, overall costly rahe.

Ab baat Nellai Royal Kings ki chase ki. 213 runs ka target koi chhota nahi hai, lekin Nellai ka past record Chepauk ke khilaf unhe thoda confidence deta hai – unhone 5 matches mein se 4 jeete hain. Arun Karthik, jo team ke captain hain, aur Ajitesh Guruswamy jaisi players ke upar bada daav hai. Arun ne pichle season mein 260 runs banaye the, aur unka explosive batting style, jaise 2024 mein Trichy ke khilaf 84 runs ki innings, Nellai ke liye game-changer ho sakta hai. Pichle match mein bhi Nellai ne Trichy Grand Cholas ko 5 wickets se haraya tha, jisme Santhosh Kumar ke 45 runs ne unhe last over mein jeet dilayi. Yeh performance 2007 ke T20 World Cup ke India vs Pakistan match ki yaad dilati hai, jab India ne last over mein dramatic jeet haasil ki thi. Nellai ke bowlers mein Sonu Yadav aur Emmanuel Cherian jaise players hain jo Chepauk ke batsmen ko rokne ki koshish karenge, par unhe consistency chahiye.
Lekin yeh match Nellai ke liye aasan nahi hoga. Chepauk ka current form shandaar hai – unhone apna pehla match IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans ke khilaf 8 wickets se jeeta, jisme Baba Aparajith ne 77 runs ki shandaar innings kheli. Yeh performance Sachin Tendulkar ke 2003 World Cup ke 98 runs ki yaad dilati hai, jab unhone pressure mein anchor karke team ko jeet tak le gaye. Chepauk ke bowlers, jaise Abhishek Tanwar aur Prem Kumar, bhi form mein hain, aur Nellai ke batsmen ko unke khilaf disciplined approach chahiye. SNR College Cricket Ground ka pitch balanced hai, jahan chasing teams ne 24 mein se 14 matches jeete hain, lekin 213 ka target thoda mushkil lagta hai.
Aakhir mein, Nellai ke liye yeh match ek bada test hai. Agar woh apna historical dominance jari rakhna chahte hain, to unhe exceptional performance deni hogi. Lekin Chepauk ka momentum aur batting depth, jaise Vijay Shankar aur Jagadeesan ka form, unhe favorite banata hai. Aashiq ka toota hua bat shayad Nellai ke liye ek bura sign hai – kya woh is pressure ko jhel payenge, ya Chepauk ek baar phir apni supremacy dikha dega? Yeh match TNPL 2025 ka ek turning point ho sakta hai, par Nellai ke liye yeh safar asaan nahi dikh raha.
