Jolly Rovers' opening batsman M Vijay recently hit the headlines with his spectacular batting against the touring Australians, aggregating 430 runs (avg. 61.42) in the 4-Test series and playing a major role in India's success. Vijay has been a constant in Jolly Rovers' and Chemplast's successes in cricket for well over seven seasons. An attacking right-handed batsman, Vijay has proved himself at the highest level, scoring three Test hundreds against Australia, the last two as part of a fighting comeback after the crack pair of Virender Sehwag and Gautum Gambhir kept him out for many years. Vijay has also been a grand success in the IPL.
The Sanmar cricket team has been one of the strongest and most long lasting outfits in Tamil Nadu, winning the TNCA senior league 18 times since 1964-65, and the popular Hindu Trophy limited overs tournament 8 times since 1981-82. It has also won all India cricket tournaments like the Arlem Trophy, Moin-ud-Dowla Gold Cup, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) Trophy and many more on a number of occasions.
