Sai Kishore takes six wickets including hat-trick as Tamil Nadu win by innings and 66 runs

R Sai Kishore took 4 for 40 in the first innings and 6 for 34 in the second as Tamil Nadu rolled Uttarakhand by an innings and 66 runs at Chepauk. Uttarakhand folded for 134 and 113; Tamil Nadu posted 313 in their only innings.

The Gujarat Titans spinner nailed the hat-trick in the 43rd over of Uttarakhand's second innings, sending back Lakshya Raichandani, Saurabh Rawat and Aditya Rawat in quick succession. That gave him ten wickets for the match. Tamil Nadu had opened their Ranji Trophy 2026-27 campaign with a draw against Rajasthan, so this was their first win of the season.

Sai Kishore's IPL workload has been light: three matches and one wicket in four overs this year after 15 outings and 19 wickets at 20.68 the previous season.
