Arre yaar! Chepauk Super Gillies lag rahe hain top form mein, bhai! ๐คฉ Baba Aparajith ko dekhna hai, fire banayega! Shahrukh Khan bhi try karega, lekin Gillies ka zamana hai abhi. I’m putting my money on them, definitely! ๐ฐ #TNPL2025 #ChepaukSuperGillies #Cricket
Aparajith’s consistency is a big factor for CSG, but Kovai Kings’ desperation might lead to a close fight. I’m putting a small investment on Shahrukh Khan to score over 25 runs โ he’s got the firepower to turn things around. Risk management is key, though! ๐ Let’s see what happens. ๐
