Dindigul Dragons Team News & Playing 11
DDD Team News
The Dragons should be back to full strength for these play-offs, after Ravichandran Ashwin sat out the final group game. Ashwin, NS Chaturved and Jagannathan Kaushik should all return.
DDD Key Players
Narayan Jagadeesan: Leading the way with the bat, despite falling first ball last time out, having hit three half-centuries and one unbeaten hundred during the group stage. The wicket-keeper-batsman has scored 361 runs in total with a strike rate of 143.82.
C Hari Nishanth: Jagadeesan’s fellow opener also fell for a duck in the last game but also has three half-centuries to his name from an otherwise excellent group stage. He has hit 238 runs in total and also picked up two wickets.
Ravichandran Ashwin: The Dragons’ captain and most notable player has shown flashes of his best form on his way to 114 runs in five innings – including a half-century – and seven wickets in six games.
DDD Team Form
Dindigul Dragons rested a couple of players for their final group game and consequently suffered their first defeat of the tournament – bowled out for 99 as they fell well short of Lyca Kovai Kings’ 134/8.
The Dragons had won all six of their previous matches, most recently chasing 134 to beat VB Kanchi Veerans by seven wickets at Dindigul.

Chepauk Super Gillies Team News & Playing 11
CSG Team News
Chepauk Super Gillies welcomed fit-again Vijay Shankar back to the side last time out, with the Indian international finally recovered from the injury which cut short his World Cup campaign. Shankar is likely to remain, with the main selection debate for Chepauk Super Gillies behind the stumps – Umashankar Sushil kept wicket last time out, replacing A Aarif.
CSG Key Players
Vijay Shankar: Unable to show his best batting form on his first appearance last time out, but he then opened up with a wicket with the ball (and a wicket maiden) as he guided the Patriots through to the final.
Hari Gopinath: Continued his good batting form with his third half-century of this year’s TNPL against TUTI Patriots last time out. He now has 277 runs at a strike rate of 152.19 so far in this year’s competition.
S Harish Kumar: Dismissed danger man Akshay Srinivasan last time out to claim 3-4 from two overs. He now has 14 wickets in seven matches so far – including two four-wicket hauls – and he has also scored 141 runs, including a half-century.
CSG Team Form
Chepauk Super Gillies lost just two of their seven group games – their first match, against Dindigul, and their penultimate game against Siechem Madurai Panthers. A rare expensive bowling performance cost them in the latter – conceding 172/7 and finishing 139/8 in reply.
But they were back to their best against TUTI Patriots in their final game. Knowing a win would see them finish second, Hari Gopinath’s half-century helped them to 127 all out before they bowled the Patriots out for 95.
Chepauk Super Gillies Predicted Playing 11
Ganga Sridhar Raju, Hari Gopinath, Kaushik Gandhi, Vijay Shankar, Uthirasamy Sasidev, Murugan Ashwin, Umashankar Sushil, Harish Kumar, M Siddharth, G Periyaswamy, R Alexander
