Team Previews
Siechem Madurai Panthers Preview
The Panthers had a disappointing 2024 season, managing only two wins from seven games and ending in seventh place. This year, their batting lineup sees a major overhaul. NS Chaturved, Balchander Anirudh, and S Shyam Sundar are expected to anchor the top order. Atheeq Ur Rahman and S Ganesh will be key in the middle overs. Though brimming with potential, this unit lacks TNPL-level experience, and it might take a few matches for them to hit their stride.
On the bowling front, they look better settled. Murugan Ashwin remains their main weapon and was their top wicket-taker last season. With support from Gurjapneet Singh, P Vignesh, and Karthik Meiyappan, Madurai have a decent core to restrict oppositions. However, their performance hinges on how well the batting clicks under pressure.
Salem Spartans Preview
Salem Spartans endured a horror show in 2024, winning just one game and finishing last. However, the presence of consistent performer R Kavin brings hope. He scored 160 runs at a strike rate of 130 last year and will once again be their batting pillar. Rajendran Vivek and Harish Kumar will be key contributors in the middle order, while Abishiek Selvakumar’s stability could prove handy on slow decks.
In the bowling department, M Poiyamozhi was the shining star with 16 wickets last season. Harish Kumar, Yazh Arun Mozhi, and Sunny Sandhu will form the core bowling attack, with the newly added pacer M Mohammed boosting the pace options. Overall, the Spartans look slightly better balanced than their opponents this season.

| Wicketkeeper | J Ajay Chetan |

Captain: S Harish Kumar

Fantasy Analysis:
Harish Kumar provides dual utility with bat and ball, making him a strong captaincy choice. Rajendran Vivek’s ability to play aggressive cameos and bowl medium pace makes him a valuable vice-captain. Avoid over-relying on NS Chaturved or Ram Arvindh due to inconsistent form.
Players to Avoid:
- NS Chaturved (inconsistent record)
- Ram Arvindh (lack of recent TNPL match exposure)
