A dramatic moment occurred during the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2025 clash between Chepauk Super Gillies and Nellai Royal Kings. Super Gillies' opener K Aashiq's bat snapped mid-swing and sent a piece hurtling towards the bowler, Emmanuel Cherian. Cherian was lucky to escape unhurt as the ball raced towards extra cover, where Arun Karthik safely fielded it.
