Tamil Nadu's Baba Indrajith and M Shahrukh Khan's patience in the ground.

After Tamil Nadu chose to bat first, the batsmen failed to create a good impression as they were reduced to 31 for 4. However, skipper Baba Indrajith’s 87 and debutant M Shahrukh Khan’s 82 helped the team to end the day on 249 for 6. The experienced Abhinav Mukund fell for a duck, and Baba Aparajith who scored a century in the last match against Bengal, got out early in the innings. Kaushik Gandhi and Dinesh Karthik also didn’t last long as they contributed only 19 and 4 to the scorecard. Following this, Indrajith and Jagadeesan steered the team to recovery. Sandeep Warrier picked up 3 wickets for 42 runs. On the other hand, Delhi is scheduled to face Andhra Pradesh and Punjab will be facing Himachal Pradesh at home ground.
