• Sandeep Warrier – Sandeep leads DD’s fast bowlers. His experience and control in the powerplay and death overs make him a threat.

Strategic Outlook

The Nellai Royal Kings will depend on their top players as well as the varied abilities of individuals such as Sonu Yadav – this helps them set or reach a good total. Their bowlers, however, need to get better in the last overs to limit the Dindigul batters, who play deep in the line.

The Dindigul Dragons will try to control the game using their roster of well known players. Ashwin in addition to Chakravarthy will lead the spin attack. Their batting, which Shivam Singh besides Ashwin power, looks even and active, so this gives them a small benefit.
