Perhaps, Karaikudi Kaalai’s R. Rajkumar was inspired by this joyful, free-spited setting at Chepauk during the duel against Madurai Super Giants in the India Cements-TNPL tournament. Rajkumar’s whirlwind innings, adorned by some ferocious hits on the leg-side, gave momentum and thrust to the Kaalai innings when the side need them. Suffering its fourth straight loss, Madurai Super Giants is staring down the barrel. But then, it was a game where Super Giants’ catching was ordinary. The scores: Karaikudi Kaalai 149 for seven in 20 overs (R. Rajkumar 46, M. Raja two for 33, Maan Bafna two for 14) beat Madurai Super Giants 97 in 16.1 overs (Shijit Chandran 43, R. Rajkumar four for 19, S. Mohan Prasath three for 16).
