CSG vs SMP Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Narayan Jagadeesan’s aggressive approach likely won’t change from the strategies which have brought him more than 2300 runs in the TNPL.

Batters

Baba Aparajith joins Narayan Jagadeesan in the club of batters with more than 2300 TNPL runs. He has 17 half-centuries and one century too. K Aashiq has gone like a train in this year’s TNPL. The opener has hit 164 runs in six matches at a strike rate over 140. Sarath Kumar is slowly building up a reputable batting record. The right-hander has almost 300 runs, while striking at over 130. Atheeq Ur Rahman continues to shine on this stage. The 27-year-old batter has two half-centuries in his almost 400 runs.

All Rounders

Abhishek Tanwar has racked up a number of milestones with the ball. The left-arm spinner has 12 three-wicket hauls, including one of those this season. Vijay Shankar having only scoring one half-century in the league may be surprising. His batting average of 28.58 and strike rate of 132.76 show the class of the batting all-rounder. P Saravanan’s record will look better with the ball, having taken 15 wickets in 20 innings. His lusty blows with a strike rate over 140 can swing the momentum of the game too.

Bowlers

J Prem Kumar has come into this match on a high. The fast bowler has pumped out 11 wickets in his past seven matches. Rohit Suthar only has a couple of domestic matches to his name. The left-arm pacer has four wickets in two innings domestically. Karthik Meiyappan has played for the United Arab Emirates in T20Is. At the international level, the leg-spinner has 23 T20I wickets. Although only featuring twice in 2025, Gowtham Thamarai Kannan has over 30 TNPL wickets in his career.

CSG vs SMP Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Baba Aparajith’s TNPL batting average of 46.60 reminds the rest of the league about his importance in the Chepauk Super Gillies lineup. His career strike rate over 130 is not too bad either.

Vice-Captain

Vijay Shankar has kicked up his level of batting consistency in the league in 2025. The all-rounder has 209 runs with a batting average of 69.67 and a strike rate of 158.33.

CSG vs SMP Team Expert Advice

The weather should be a factor which makes the seamers a better pick compared to normal. The spinners have been more successful with wickets at the venue. Abhishek Tanwar should know his way around confusing the batters on this surface.

The high-scoring match in 2024 between Chepauk and Madurai could be an indicator of another batting track where the batters who can stay in for long enough will be destructive. The opening partnerships and middle-order batters could be among the biggest weapons in your lineup.
