Absolutely blistering hitting by the openers here. They have reached the 200 mark in no time. Hyderabadi bowlers have either been too full to too short. they haven't been able to bowl the right length suitable for the surface.
TN 201/0
The Hyderabad skipper is bringing the par timers Thyagarajan and the likes of others into the mix trying to find a breakthrough. Tamil Nadu openers looking unflappable in the middle.
TN 193/0

TN 187/0
A ball from Ravi Teja was kept low. This has been the first sign of wicket changing. TN will be looking to get as many first innings as possible as batting the second innings may be extremely tricky here.
TN 165/0
The Hyderabad skipper is shuffling his pack with minimum success. He is trying to bring in various combinations from either end of bowling however, nothing seems to work as TN openers are looking good to make a big one.
TN 161/0
Jagadeesan and Sudharsan are putting the sword to the inexperienced Hyderabadi bowlers. The wicket looks flat and the batters are making use of the surface. Hyderabad skipper Tanmay Agarwal looks puzzled with the rate at which the runs are being scored.

Now, he has tasted the feeling of a Ranji Trophy hundred in his debut outing. The journey hasn’t been easy. The surname has had its privileges but it also comes with a burden.
It was a dry monsoon in Mumbai in 2015. Kanga League, traditionally a wet-weather cricket tournament, was being played on the dry, coarse grass in the maidaans in south Mumbai. At one side of a ground, a group of boys sat bantering under a small tent one afternoon. Arjun Tendulkar had just been bowled off an inside edge after swishing around on an under-prepared pitch. Chai bobbled around in white plastic cups, and a teammate turned around to pass it on. “Eh, chai peeyega?” Arjun shook his head, the boy let fly some snark: “Haan, haan, tu toh boost he piyega na?” (READ MORE)

A bit about Pondicherry. They are a very superstitious team and nothing seems to be working for them today. Their regular captain D Rohit is known to keep lemon in his pocket whenever the opposition builds a huge partnership. Keeps touching it before every delivery. And that isn't the only such routine.

In the last couple of years, Prabhsimran is just getting where many expected him to be. He is beginning to find consistency.
