Lyca Kovai Kings vs Dindigul Dragons, 9th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Gurjapneet Singh to Sai Sudharsan, 2 runs, Lyca Kovai Kings finish with 201/1. A full length delivery outside off, slower one and the batsman slices it over the infield at point, calls for two and manages to come back with ease

Gurjapneet Singh to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, premeditates, shuffles across in the crease and scoops this ball past the keeper's dive as it races away to the fine leg boundary

Gurjapneet Singh to Sai Sudharsan, 2 runs, dropped at wide long-on! Sai Sudharsan gets deceived due to the slower delivery and slogs it towards the on-side. The fielder from deep mid-wicket, sprints across and gets his hands to it, but it was a really tough chance, two runs in the end

Vignesh to Raju, SIX, right into the slot, a full length delivery and Raju has tonked it over long-on for six runs to end the over. Can he notch up a century? Needs only 11 runs more..

Gurjapneet Singh to Raju, SIX, yet another six and this will help the Covid-19 relief efforts. High full-toss, Raju comes down the track and swings high into the deep square leg region. The ball hits the big BKT tyre placed there outside the boundary - if anyone in this year's TNPL manages to hit that, then that batsman can donate INR 50,000 for a charity of his choosing which will go towards helping the Covid-affected.

Gurjapneet Singh to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, another unbelievable shot! Picks it up from a full length and puts it away to the fine leg fence as the ball almost goes the distance

Rangaraj Suthesh to Sai Sudharsan, 2 runs, flicks this full length delivery to long-on where the fielder gets his hands to it, but fails to cling on to the catch. Does well to grab the ball though as it's just about to hit the boundary cushions

Vignesh to Sai Sudharsan, 2 runs, let me count the number of runs in this over. 23 runs! That's very expensive as the Kings can think of breaching the 200-run mark owing to this bonus over. Was a length delivery by Vignesh and the batsman knocked it down to long-off to finish the over with just two, some respite for the bowler

Vignesh to Raju, no ball, FOUR, not exactly a hat-trick of sixes, but it's a hat-trick of boundaries. Vignesh goes full outside off and the batsman slices it over the fielder at point as the bat slips out of Raju's hands. Free-hit time!

Vignesh to Raju, SIX, awesome! Now he goes leg-side as he swipes this length delivery over deep backward square leg for six more. Two in two for Raju! Can he make it a hat-trick?

Vignesh to Raju, SIX, clears his front leg and swings this length delivery over long-on as he goes downtown. Wonderful shot by the southpaw again!

Hari Nishanth to Raju, SIX, brings up his fifty with a glorious six! Takes off his helmet and celebrates his half-century following this lovely shot. Goes inside-out and clears the boundary at deep cover as the Lyca Kovai Kings are dictating terms at the moment

Swaminathan to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Sai Sudharsan! Short ball outside off, Sai Sudharsan rocks back and cuts this through backward point as the dugout is up on its feet to applaud the batsman's effort

Swaminathan to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, goes down on his knee and sweeps this floated delivery away to the fine leg boundary where the fielder was way too square to cut it down

Rangaraj Suthesh to Raju, FOUR, plays it on the rise and lofts this back of a length delivery over the infield at cover with an air of nonchalance. Quite an unbelievable shot

Rangaraj Suthesh to Suresh Kumar, out Bowled!! Finally a wicket! It has taken a long, long time. Short of a length around middle and leg, Suresh Kumar looks to work it through the leg-side, but it clips his thigh pad and disturbs the furniture. Much needed breakthrough because the openers were looking unstoppable. Suresh Kumar b Rangaraj Suthesh 58(40) [4s-7 6s-1]

Rangaraj Suthesh to Suresh Kumar, FOUR, and the boundaries keep coming! Short of a length delivery around off, Suresh Kumar fetches it from outside and whips it through deep backward square leg for four runs. Nicely done!

M Silambarasan to Suresh Kumar, FOUR, fifty for Suresh Kumar! 100 up for Lyca Kovai Kings as the batsman tickles the fullish delivery down to the fine leg fence to bring up the milestone. Needs to carry on though, can he?

Swaminathan to Raju, SIX, Raju takes on the spinner, puts on his dancing shoes, gets to the pitch of the delivery and launches it over long-on for half-a-dozen. This is a superb start for the Kings

Mokit Hariharan to Raju, SIX, six more. Down the track and to the pitch, Raju lofts cleanly and watches the ball sail over the long-off fielder. Such clean hitting this

Mokit Hariharan to Raju, FOUR, doesn't matter if Mokit Hariharan is an ambidextrous bowler. This is the left-hander's equivalent of SKY's inside out shot over extra-cover. Makes room and lifts it beautifully. Superb execution against the offbreak bowled as a right-arm bowler

Mokit Hariharan to Suresh Kumar, FOUR, I heard a cry of "dei dei" from the keeper as soon as the ball landed. Way too short, so short that Suresh Kumar has rocked back to play it almost with a straight bat over extra-cover. Too easy

R Vivek to Suresh Kumar, FOUR, poor half-tracker and easy for Suresh Kumar who rocks back to pull over mid-wicket, buffet ball

M Silambarasan to Suresh Kumar, FOUR, look at M Silambarasan's reaction. He is gutted. This is a good ball, pitched around off, spun and gripped to take the outside edge, but runs through a vacant slip region and beats short third to his left. Runs away to the fence to make it more damaging for the bowler

M Silambarasan to Suresh Kumar, FOUR, top shot. The length may have been short but he had to thread the gap at cover-point with a fielder there, does so, by rocking back and playing a fantastic back foot drive. Shot of the highest quality

M Silambarasan to Raju, FOUR, short fine was inside the ring. Poor ball as it slid down leg and the tickle is enough to beat the man inside the ring

Gurjapneet Singh to Suresh Kumar, FOUR, pure timing. Nothing more than that. Raced off the bat. Length ball on off, steered late and wide of backward point. A clumsy effort from the third man fielder, he doesn't dive - instead sticks his right foot out, but the ball wins the race. Gurjapneet Singh can't believe that such a push has gone for four

Gurjapneet Singh to Raju, leg byes, FOUR, poor delivery and it has gone for four. On the pads, Raju flicks and misses. Off the pad and wide of the diving keeper

Gurjapneet Singh to Raju, FOUR, a couple of steps down the pitch and lifts it over extra-cover. Beats the chasing fielder's slide and attempt to pull it back. Nice improvisation from Raju

Vignesh to Suresh Kumar, SIX, this slower delivery is pumped straight down the ground. As straight as it can get. The on-air comms inform everyone that it is Suresh Kumar's first six in the TNPL. What a shot too. Picked the bones out of that with a stunning lofted shot

Rangaraj Suthesh to Raju, FOUR, smashed. Short and wide outside off, Raju rises on his toes and slashes hard and over backward point
