This is Deepak Prakash signing off, along with Ajay Pal Singh, Darpan Tikiya, and Paras Yadav. CHEERS!
That’s a wrap from this one-sided affair, folks! Nellai Royal Kings have cruised past Dindigul Dragons by six wickets with 14 balls remaining to maintain their perfect start with two wins from two matches. We’ll conclude this coverage here.
Ramsingh Sonu Yadav (POTM and Nellai Royal Kings Captain): "[On winning two games on the bounce] Yeah, it feels good. Actually, we were trying to finish this quickly as run-rate could come into play in the later half of the tournament.
[On his first year as captain] Catches can go down in cricket but if we end up winning the game, it is all good. We will work on our fielding.
[On his all-round show] Yeah, as a captain. It is important for me to lead from the front either with the ball or with the bat and that's what I tried to do.
[On bowling first] The wicket looked a little tricky and that's why we opted to bowl first. But the way Mukilesh batted, he closed out the game for us on a tricky surface."

Baba Indrajith (Dindigul Dragons Captain): "[On the positives from this game] Vimal played a good innings. We though, we should get around 180. If we had 180-185 runs on the board, things could have been different.
[On their batting] See powerplay is key. You have to win it, and only when you do that, you can control the middle phase. But overall, a low-scoring game, proud of the fight shown by the team.
[Mood in the dugout] More than the result, it is important whether everyone executed their plans or not. If they did, it gives us a better chance to win. We will try and do that."
10:45 PM IST, Local Time: Back-to-back sixes from Ramsingh and Sonu Yadav, and he finishes things in style! Nellai Royal Kings seal a six-wicket win with 14 balls to spare, making it two wins in two matches.
