TEAMS PREVIEW

Chepauk Super Gillies Preview

Chapauk Super Gillies is the most successful team in the Tamil Nadu Premier League. They are the title winners for the 2017 and 2019 seasons. They have played three matches in the tournament and have won one, lost one and one match ended in no result. The consistency of batsmen has been a cause of concern for the team since the beginning of this season. 

Kaushik Gandhi and Narayan Jagadeesan open the innings for Gillies. Both the batsmen are capable enough to score runs at a higher strike rate during the powerplay. Narayan Jagadeesan has presented superb batting skills this season. S Sujay, Radhakrishnan, and Rajagopal Sathish are the middle order batsmen. The middle-order has been lacking discipline and has failed to anchor the innings. Uthirasamy Sasidev has been strong support in the lower order to finish at the end.

Sonu Yadav and Manimaran Siddharth are the key bowlers for this bowling unit. Sonu Yadav has claimed three wickets in their previous match against Salem Spartans. R Alexander and RS Jaganath Sinivas is another pair of bowlers to watch out for. Rajagopal Sathish and S Harish Kumar are allrounder bowling alternatives for CSG.

Key Players: Uthirasamy Sasidev, Narayan Jagadeesan, S Harish Kumar, Kaushik Gandhi, R Alexander, Sonu Yadav.

Dindigul Dragons Preview

Dindigul Dragons are one of the most balanced teams in TNPL 2021. They had ended their previous season as runner ups and Dragons would be looking forward to winning the title this season. They have played three matches, out of which they have won two and lost one match. C Hari Nishaanth and RS Mokit Hariharan are the key batsmen for Dindigul Dragons. C Hari Nishaanth plays an important role in opening the innings while RS Mokit Hariharan has the responsibility to support the middle-order batting. K Mani Bharathi and Rajendran Vivek are promising batsmen for the Dragons. Batting depth appears to be a bit short and could be a weak link on a turning wicket.

M Silambarasan and Rangaraj Suthesh will lead the bowling attack for the Dragons. Gurjapneet Singh is another bowler, who has displayed impressive bowling skills in this season. S Swaminathan, Rajendran Vivek, and Laxminarayanan Vignesh are other bowling alternatives in the bowling unit.
