Nellai Royal Kings Preview
Nellai Royal Kings have had a stuttering TNPL 2025 campaign with just two wins in five games. Their last defeat — a 67-run hammering at the hands of Lyca Kovai Kings — exposed their fragile batting, having been bowled out for 98.
Arun Karthik has been their best batter, scoring 163 runs at 40.75 average. He’s been ably supported by D Santhosh Kumar, who has made 138 runs at a healthy strike rate of 151.
The middle order, including NS Harish, Muhammed Adnan Khan, and Sonu Yadav, has shown patches of promise but lacks consistency.
With the ball, Sonu Yadav is their standout performer with 12 wickets, keeping things tidy at an economy of 7.61. Sachin Rathi and Valliappan Yudheeswaran have also contributed with 13 wickets combined, though Valliappan has struggled with his economy (11+ per over).
Predicted XI:
Ajitesh Guruswamy, Arun Karthik (c), NS Harish, Rithik Easwaran (wk), Athish SR, Muhammed Adnan Khan, Sonu Yadav, Sachin Rathi, Rocky Bhasker, Emmanuel Cherian, Valliappan Yudheeswaran
Impact Player: D Santhosh Kumar
Dindigul Dragons Preview
Dindigul Dragons have played solid cricket and currently occupy third place. Their last match — a thrilling last-ball chase of 189 against Salem Spartans — showed their batting depth and temperament.
Shivam Singh is the tournament’s standout batter with 245 runs in five games at a blistering strike rate of 157. Ravichandran Ashwin is also in great form, scoring 185 runs, and providing crucial breakthroughs with the ball.
Baba Indrajith adds experience in the middle, although he hasn’t fully delivered yet. Maan Bafna and Hunny Saini bring balance with both bat and ball.
In the bowling department, Sandeep Warrier and Ganeshan Periyaswamy have been impactful with 10 wickets combined. The spin duo of Ashwin and Varun Chakaravarthy keeps things tight and effective during the middle overs.
Predicted XI:
Ravichandran Ashwin (c), Shivam Singh, Baba Indrajith (wk), Hunny Saini, R K Jayant, Maan Bafna, M Karthik Saran, Varun Chakaravarthy, Sandeep Warrier, DT Chandrasekar, Ganeshan Periyaswamy
