The Presentation ceremony...
Tiruppur were decent with the ball with their talisman Vijay Shankar picking up the wickets but unfortunately, he couldn't replicate the same with the bat. It was only opener Tushar Raheja who put on a steady show with the bat as the rest of the team crumbled. They will now hope to bounce back in the next game.
Kovai win the opening match of Tamil Nadu T20 League 2023. The reigning co-champions have been clinical with both bat and ball. It all started with the man in-form Sai Sudharsan as he carried on his brilliance from the Indian T20 League into this tournament. Skipper, Shahrukh Khan chipped in with both bat and ball to round off a stellar display for his side
