Dindigul Dragons Team News & Playing 11
DDD Team News
Dindigul Dragons were unchanged last time out and, indeed, have only differed from that starting XI in one of their four matches. With the Dragons’ winning streak continuing, it is unlikely they will change now either.
DDD Key Players
Narayan Jagadeesan: Leading the way with the bat so far. His unbeaten 78 from 47 balls last time out was his third consecutive half-century. The wicket-keeper-batsman, who has also taken six catches behind the stumps, has 235 runs from four innings.
C Hari Nishanth: Opening with Jagadeesan, he led the way last time out in their unbroken 161-run opening stand. He hit five sixes on his way to 81 not out – his second half-century. He has 156 runs in total.
Ravichandran Ashwin: Has scored 105 runs from three innings so far as well as claiming six wickets from his four matches – at an economy rate of 5.50 runs per over. It puts him joint-second behind M Silambarasan in the Dindigul wicket-taking charts this season.
DDD Team Form
Dindigul Dragons have won four from four, with their latest win one of their most comprehensive. Narayan Jagadeesan and Hari Nishanth shared an unbroken 161-run partnership in 17 overs to lead them to a ten-wicket win against Karaikudi Kaalai.
It followed a 40-run defeat of TUTI Patriots, after posting 173/7, and a 30-run win defending 182/6 against Siechem Madurai Panthers. In fact, their only unconvincing win was their first one, when they posted 115/9 and were indebted to M Silambarasan’s 4-13 with the ball as they restricted Chepauk Super Gillies to 105/9.
Dindigul Dragons Predicted Playing 11
Hari Nishanth, Narayan Jagadeesan (wk), Rajendran Vivek, NS Chaturved, Ravichandran Ashwin (c), Sumant Jain, M Mohammed, Ramalingam Rohit, M Silambarasan, Jagannathan Kaushik, H Trilok Nag
Ruby Trichy Warriors Team News & Playing 11
RTW Team News
Star man Murali Vijay returned for Ruby Trichy Warriors and it is no coincidence he has been at the top of the order for both of their two tied matches (having missed the out-and-out defeats in between). He was one of two players to come in, with MS Sanjay replacing Kannan Vignesh too.
RTW Key Players
Murali Vijay: Hit 81 from 56 balls in the first game and an unbeaten 78 from 66 last time out. The Warriors fell well short in the two games he missed to highlight his importance with the bat.
Lakshminarayanan Vignesh: Took 3-28 last time out to move to six wickets so far in this tournament with his right arm seam bowling.
P Saravan Kumar: With the team short of runs, he has taken seven wickets in four games to redress some of the balance – the Warriors’ leading wicket-taker.
RTW Team Form
Ruby Trichy Warriors have lost all four matches so far this season but the most recent, as with the first, came in a super over. Murali Vijay top-scored in both of those tied matches but could not bat the Warriors to victory in the one-over shoot-out.
In between, however, without Vijay, the Warriors struggled. They were all out for 135 in reply to Lyca Kovai Kings’ 161/6 and posted just 107/9 in reply to Chepauk Super Gillies’ 148/6.
Ruby Trichy Warriors Predicted Playing 11
S Aravind, Murali Vijay, K Mukunth, Chandrasekar Ganapathy, Adithya Ganesh, K Mani Bharathi (wk), R Sai Kishore (c), MS Sanjay, Saravan Kumar, Lakshminarayanan Vignesh, Vignesh, M Poiyamozhi
