The right-arm pacer had a night to forget as his team IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans fell short in a thrilling contest against SKM Salem Spartans. Esakkimuthu A conceded 53 runs off his four overs.
The ninth match of TNPL (Tamil Nadu Premier League) 2025 witnessed a bit of drama, which saw SKM Salem Spartans edge past IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans in what was a thriller, on Saturday, June 13. Chasing 178 to win, SKM Salem Spartans needed 31 runs to win off 12 deliveries when pacer Esakkimuthu A was given the ball by IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans captain Sai Kishore to bowl his fourth and last over of the match. He bowled a dramatic 19th over, which included four consecutive no-balls. After the first two balls of the over yielded just three runs, Harish Kumar struck the right-arm pacer for a four and a six. The last ball of the over was a no-ball, where Harish Kumar had taken a single. However, Esakkimuthu A was yet to complete the over with him bowling three back-to-back no balls. The second and third no-balls were because of him crossing the return crease, while the fourth one was a waist-high no-ball. The equation was down to six runs needed off six balls and SKM Salem Spartans pulled it off with one ball to spare.
