Who will win TNPL 2023?
TNPL 2023 Overview:
After six successful seasons, the Tamil Nadu Premier League returns for its seventh season, which will begin on June 12, 2023. 8 teams representing 8 distinct districts in Tamil Nadu will compete for the TNPL title once more.
The previous season finished with two champions, CSG and LKK, after the final match was called off due to weather. We believe Chepauk Super Gillies will win the TNPL 2023 and raise the trophy for the fifth time after reviewing the newly assembled squads of all the teams.
CSG’s rebuilt roster appears to be stronger than last season’s. The CSG batting lineup will be powered by top batters Jagadeesan and Sanjay Yadav. Jagadeesan leads the competition in run scoring, whereas Sanjay Yadav led the TNPL 2022 season in run scoring.
For the upcoming season, the CSG has a fully new bowling unit. The bowling department will be led by Harish Kumar, M Silambarasan, and Rocky Bhasker in the CSG this year. Silambarasan took 9 wickets while Bhasker took 2 in two matches last season.
