Pradosh Ranjan Paul got Chepauk Super Gillies off to a winning start with a swashbuckling 88 (55b, 12x4, 1x6) as the four-time champion breezed past Salem Spartans by 52 runs at the Sri Ramakrishna College ground here on Tuesday.
Electing to bat, Super Gillies amassed 217 for five, riding on Pradosh’s half-century, before Sanjay Yadav provided the final flourish with an unbeaten 31 (12b, 2x4, 3x6).
Chasing a huge target, Spartans were never in the hunt.
Spinners B. Aparajith and B. Rocky derailed the chase, accounting for the top-order by scalping two wickets each.
Muhammed Adnan Khan, who walked in at No. 9, entertained the crowd with an unbeaten 47 (15b, 1x4, 5x6).
He launched into R. Rohit, hitting the pacer for four sixes in the 19th over. But it was too little too late for Spartans.
Earlier, skipper N. Jagadeesan (35) and Pradosh gave Super Gillies a rollicking start, flaying the Spartans attack all over the park during their 91-run stand. The stylish Pradosh came up with an eye-catching knock which contained deft late-cuts and powerful sweeps.
