DD Team News
It would be a big surprise if the team management at Chepauk Super Gillies chose to make changes after the last game, considering it was a very narrow defeat. No injuries have been reported across the squad and we expect to see the same XI take the field.
DD Key Players
- Baba Aparajith- the batting all-rounder had already made a score of 46 not out in this year’s competition before striking two fours and seven sixes on Wednesday.
- Narayan Jagadeesan- the skipper is always involved, opening the batting as well as keeping wicket. He hit his highest score of this campaign in the last game so his confidence should be high.
- Rahil Shah- the experienced left-arm spinner was in fine form in the last game and is yet to go wicketless across the 2023 TNPL.
DD Team Form
Dindigul Dragons got back to winning ways in the last match. They came into that game after a heavy 59 run defeat to Lyca Kovai Kings in Match 16.
