Chennai, August 16: Chepauk Super Gillies, the defending champions, defeated Trichy Warriors by 8 runs to win the TNPL 2021 title at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. This was Chepauk's third title after winning it in 2017 and 2019.

There was no TNPL in 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Chepauk and Trichy were the form sides of the TNPL 2021, and the TNPL 2021 final lived up to the pre-match hype.

3. Chepauk's comments after final

N Jagadeesan was elated at playing a key role in the team's win. "I've been scoring a lot of runs in the TNPL and I get that I had to score runs when it actually mattered, so I'm really happy it came out well. The boys coped with the pressure really well and especially in the last over when Sai bowled, he just killed it," he said.

4. Trichy's comments after final

Trichy captain Rahil Shah felt the bowling could have been better. "It was a thriller, till the last over we were in the game but Sai bowled well and you have to give it to him. We probably gave 15 extra runs while bowling, for once our bowling was a little lacklustre, we didn't execute our plans. Nevertheless our batsmen supported us and came back hard and we had a good start and almost pulled it off," he said, adding he was immensely pleased with the way his side fought in the finale.
