It is the first game of the Tamil Nadu Premier League, 2022 and we would see the defending champions Chepauk Super Gillies take on the Nellai Royal Kings. Both sides have retained their core group of players from the last season and made a few changes to the squad. It is the first game of the season and pressure would be on both sides to perform.
Chepauk Super Gillies has won the last two editions of the tournament and have been the strongest side. They have won the last four games they have played against Royal Kings, and this would also add to the side’s confidence. The Nellai Royal Kings have talented players on the side, and it is to be seen if the side can cause a major upset at the start of the tournament.
Kaushik Gandhi would be aiming for a perfect start to the season. They had played well as a team en route to their second consecutive title last season. Batting had looked good for the side and the bowling attack delivered when it mattered most. He is leading a strong squad and shall look to start with a win.
Rajagopal Sathish and Kaushik Gandhi did well as an opening pair last season and the side would like to see a good start from them. N Jagadeesan was one of the top run-getters last year and he will look to do well in the middle order with Uthirasamy Sasidev and Harish Kumar. R Alexander and Manimaran Siddharth can hit the ball hard, and they add solidity to this batting line-up.
There are several changes to the bowling attack this year and the side would like to see Rajagopal Sathish and Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore pick up early wickets in the game. Harish Kumar and Manimaran Siddharth shall have a key role in the middle overs as the Royal Kings have a good batting unit. B Arun would like to use the spinning conditions and trouble batsmen.

Baba Aparajith would like his side to make a cracking start to the season. They had a poor start last year and failed to recover from it. The side has several exciting players in the squad and good performances would be expected from them. The side takes on the defending champions and they will have to play out of their skins to win this game.
Youngster G Ajitesh and Laxmesha Suryaprakash have an important role here opening the batting for the side. Baba Aparajith is the most experienced batsman on the side, and he will have to do well at No. 3 and add quick runs with Mohan Abhinav and Baba Indrajith. Sanjay Yadav is a good hitter of the ball, and he will have to do the heavy lifting towards the end of the innings.
They take on a very strong batting line-up and the side would need early wickets from T Ajith Kumar and Athisayaraj Davidson. Sanjay Yadav had done well last year, and he will have to keep the scoring rate under check in the middle overs along with Sharun Kumar and Baba Aparajith.

The skies over Tirunelveli would be partly cloudy on June 23 and we expect it to be a warm and humid evening. The wicket is expected to be flat, and we are likely to see a high-scoring contest. There would be little for the bowlers and the side batting first shall need 180 runs on the board.
Indian Cement Company Ground, Tirunelveli is a small ground and we have seen high-scoring games here in the past. The ball comes onto the bat nicely and this allows batsmen to play their strokes freely. It is not the ideal venue for fast bowlers, but spinners get to turn the ball and cause doubts in the minds of batsmen.
Most teams choose to bowl first in this format of the game as chasing scores is always easier. It is the first game of the season and there might be some assistance on the surface for the bowlers. Hence, the side winning the toss should have no hesitation in opting to bowl first in this game.
Nellai Royal Kings have been inconsistent in the last two seasons and the side would look to break out from that. They have a strong batting line-up, but the bowling attack lacks teeth, and they will have to bowl good lines to put the opponents under pressure. The Chepauk Super Gillies have all their bases covered. They have a strong batting line-up and a bowling attack that can take on any opponent. This would make them favorites to win this contest.
