TEAMS PREVIEW
IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans Preview
IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans enjoyed a memorable TNPL 2025 campaign, finishing second in the league stage with 5 wins and 2 defeats from 7 matches to collect 10 points. They carried that momentum into the playoffs by winning Qualifier 1, which secured them a direct place in the final. In the title clash, Tiruppur produced a dominant performance to defeat Dindigul Dragons by 118 runs, posting 220/5 before bowling the Dragons out for 102 to lift their maiden TNPL trophy.
The batting unit was one of the biggest reasons behind their success last season. Tushar Raheja topped the run charts with 488 runs in 9 innings at an outstanding average of 61.00. Amith Sathvik provided excellent support with 340 runs in 9 innings at 48.57, while Pradosh Ranjan Paul added 146 runs in six innings.
Their bowling attack was equally impressive throughout the tournament. Esakkimuthu A finished as the team's leading wicket-taker with 14 wickets in 8 matches. Captain R. Sai Kishore claimed 12 wickets in 9 matches, and experienced left-arm pacer T. Natarajan contributed 10 wickets in 9 matches.
As the defending champions, IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans enter the new season with a settled squad featuring proven match-winners in both departments. With most of their title-winning core retained, they will be confident of beginning their title defence on a winning note.

Dindigul Dragons Preview
Dindigul Dragons had another impressive TNPL campaign in 2025, finishing third in the league stage with 4 wins and 3 defeats from 7 matches, collecting 8 points. They bounced back strongly in the playoffs by winning the Eliminator and Qualifier 2 to reach the final. However, their title hopes ended with a 118-run defeat against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, after being bowled out for 102 while chasing 221.
The Dragons relied heavily on their batting unit throughout the tournament. Shivam Singh finished as the team's leading run-scorer with 327 runs in 10 innings. R. Vimal Khumar contributed 240 runs in 9 innings, while Baba Indrajith added 187 runs in 9 innings.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who was one of the team's most experienced all-rounders and a key contributor last season, has been released by the franchise and will not feature in TNPL 2026.
The bowling attack was led by Ganeshan Periyaswamy, who claimed 12 wickets in 10 matches, while Varun Chakaravarthy picked up 11 wickets in 10 games. Ashwin had also finished among the team's leading wicket-takers last season, but with his departure, the Dragons will look to their remaining experienced bowlers to fill the void.
Despite Ashwin's exit, Dindigul Dragons have retained a strong core from last season and remain one of the most competitive sides in the tournament. Having reached the final in 2025, they will be eager to begin the new campaign with a victory and mount another title challenge.
Key Players: Shivam Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Baba Indrajith
