IT was a fruitful day for the Tamil Nadu teams — TNCA President's XI and TNCA XI — at the Gojan grounds on the outskirts of the city in the All India Buchi Babu Invitation tournament here on Friday. Centuries by youngster Andre Siddarth (111) and B Indrajith (104) propelled TNCA President's XI to post 384/9 in 90 overs against Maharashtra. Similarly, TNCA XI posted 414/8 against Haryana at the adjacent ground.

Andre was watchful initially, and once he had a feel of the wicket, runs flowed from the meat of the blade. Andre, along with his skipper Pradosh Ranjan Paul, added 144 runs for the third wicket in 39.4 overs. Tamil Nadu chief coach and TNCA President's XI coach M Senthilnathan was pleased with the way the duo played.
