Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The spinners have taken more wickets than the pacers at the venue.

CSG vs IDTT Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Amit Sathvik should be set to score big having already made five half-centuries in his TNPL career. Fellow Tiruppur Tamizhan Tushar Raheja scored 324 runs in the 2024 edition of the tournament.

Batters

Baba Aparajith took matters into his own hands against Tiruppur in Chepauk’s eight-wicket win against them this year. The batter scored 77 not out off only 48 balls. 24-year-old K Aashiq made a start in his previous innings after hitting 22 against Madurai. Pradosh Ranjan Paul had a memorable 2024 season after scoring 222 runs at a batting average of 55.50 with two half-centuries as well.

All Rounders

Vijay Shankar has plenty of domestic T20 experience to bank on. The all-rounder has 2454 runs and 36 wickets in T20s. Abhishek Tanwar took two for 23 against the Tamizhans in the previous head-to-head. That was one of his many brilliant performances this season. 20-year-old Mohamed Ali will be a welcome addition to the lineup with more than 250 runs and 12 wickets in his TNPL career.

Bowlers

Thangarasu Natarajan took 12 wickets in eight games for the Tiruppur Tamizhans in 2024. J Prem Kumar knows how to pull through for his team in the play-offs after a bowling performance of two for 26 in last year’s Eliminator.

Sai Kishore’s wickets tally keeps on climbing after five wickets in his past three innings. With eight wickets in the 2025 tournament, M Silambarasan continues to entertain the crowd every innings.

CSG vs IDTT Captain and Vice-Captain Choices
