That brings us to the end of the coverage of this fantastic encounter between Chepauk Super Gillies and Nellai Royal Kings. It was Nellai Royal Kings Day tonight as they sneaked away with a victory.

Do join us for all the upcoming games from all around the globe. For now, it's me Hitesh Peddurwar signing off along with my co-commentator Amit Das and scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Until then stay safe and have a wonderful weekend....
Arun Karthik(Nellai Royal Kings, Skipper): " Yeah really happy with the win, I felt the wicket was easy to bat on. Yeah, the sweep shot is my go-to shot against the left-arm spinners. It's easy to communicate with the players actually they are the ones who motivate me to score the runs. Thanks to management as they have given the respective roles to all the players. The moral is really high as we chased down the total easily."
N Jagadeesan (Chepauk Super Gillies, captain): "The way we played was not good. Probably we could have gotten 20 more. Critically, we can improve the fielding. In terms of smartness, we can improve overall. We can always come back and fight for the title." 
Player of the Match award goes to Arun Karthik!!!
Lakshay Jain (Nellai Royal Kings): "Wicket was holding a bit, I tried to purchase off it. It's not everyone's day in T20. Our bowlers bowled well. we executed our plans well."   
18:33 IST| That's it!!!!! With that six Arun Karthik gets to his hundred and Nellai Royal Kings have won this encounter by 8 wickets. The Nellai Royal Kings displayed utter dominance from the start and emerged victorious. Arun Karthik's splendid innings of 104* runs led his team to a triumphant finish.

Nellai Royal Kings had a fantastic start while chasing the target of 160 runs. They scored a rapid 56 runs without losing any wickets in the powerplay. Arun Karthik was in tremendous form, smashing the bowlers all around the park. He reached his fifty off just 25 balls, the quickest in TNPL 2023.

Karthik formed a crucial partnership of 79 runs with Neranjan, who contributed 24 runs before getting dismissed. As the ball aged, scoring became difficult, but Karthik and Rithik Easwaran showed maturity by taking singles and hitting occasional boundaries. Overall, Nellai Royal Kings dominated the innings, with Karthik leading the charge.

Easwaran departed after scoring 26 off 22 balls. Arun Karthik remained unbeaten on 104* runs and took his team over the line comfortably.

From a bowling point of view, Silambarasan and Bhasker Rockey scalped a wicket each for Chepauk Super Gillies.

Earlier in the game, Chepauk Super Gillies won the toss and opted to bat first. They struggled during the powerplay, managing only 35 runs. Baba Aparajith and Sanjay Yadav tried to stabilize the innings, but couldn't maintain the momentum. The Gillies kept losing wickets at regular intervals, putting them under pressure.
