That's a wrap on Match 26 of TNPL 2023. We will be back with more TNPL action tomorrow and for all other cricketing actions across the globe and formats, stay tuned to our network. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Arijit Kundu alongside scorer/analyst Paras Yadav. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!
Baba Indrajith (Dindigul Dragons Captain): "It was really an important match. Cannot take things lightly by saying we have qualified. If you end in the Top 2, there will be momentum and also a little extra cushion.
At the beginning of the tournament, everyone said the bowling attack is good. Youngsters in the batting order have stepped up and we have seen a different player come up in each match.
We wanted to take some time inside the powerplay. If they bowled poor deliveries, the boundaries could still come. If you look at my batting, I went for lofted shots only in the last 2-3 overs."

Abhishek Tanwar (Salem Spartans): "I though we were 20 runs short. The wind factor played a part. I think 180 was the par score on this wicket. 100 per cent - Yes the breeze was stronger today than the other days and the wicket was good so it played a big role. (Reflection on the season) I feel our batting order was not settled and we couldn't win too many games. But we got it correct in the last few matches and will stick to the same next year. We have a lot of youngsters too so I'm sure they will come up and gel well. If you look at the positives- Sunny Sandhu, Sachin Rathi, and Selva are up there."

18.2 S Sandhu to B Indrajith
4 FOURRR!!! No one is safe when Indrajith is in sheer form. Neither the bowlers nor the umpires. Full and at the woods. Indrajith watches it arrive in the slot and smashes over the head of the umpire who tries to move from the trajectory of the ricocheting cork. He just tonks it aerial down the ground, straight as an arrow for a four. What a win for the Dragons and the skipper leads the chase with some marks off his bat.
18.1 S Sandhu to B Indrajith
6 MAXIMUUUMMM!! 👏🏼 Tries the leg cutter and gets belted away from the skipper of Dindigul. Length delivery, at the middle and leg stick. Indrajith waits for this one as it dies down at the point of contact. Sheer strength from Indrajith as he opens up and heaves this over the ropes between deep mid wicket and deep square leg.
Skipper Baba Indrajith has taken the game away from the Spartans. Dragons now need 8 off 12 balls.

17.6 A Tanwar to B Indrajith
1 Pitched up again this time at the off stump line. Indrajith manages to bunt it towards long off with the cue end of the bat.
17.5 A Tanwar to B Indrajith
6 SIXXXX!! Take that!!🔥 Full-toss and near the fourth-fifth stump. Indrajith shuffles across the line and helps the ball maroon over the ropes through the fine leg region. He came into a lovely position and scooped it brilliantly. It's not just the traditional shots, Indrajith has mastered the fancy works as well.
