Ever since Indian Premier League became a hit, the state cricket board associations also took necessary steps to initiate the work. Thus, we have had state cricket leagues as well. Out of all, Tamil Nadu Premier League or TNPL is the most popular one among the viewers.
Started in 2016 by Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, TNPL has formed to be one important part. Eight teams from different parts of the state compete to prove themselves. For this year’s TNPL Predictions, we think that Dindigul Dragon might take the cup home.
In the previous three seasons, TNPL has definitely brought in some fresh talent in terms of cricket from the Tamil Nadu State. Moreover, it allowed the players to represent themselves to a larger group of audience. Beginning today, that is 19 July 2019, TNPL will prove to be one of the best matches and would continue till 19 August 2019. The final match will be held in MA Chidambaram Stadium of Chennai.
One of the biggest attractions of this season is the presence of Dinesh Karthik and Ravichandran Ashwin, who have been ruling the IPL auctions as well. This time, the league will witness Madurai Panthers appearing as the defending champions. The 32 matches will be played around different destinations in Tamil Nadu such as 2 in Chennai, 15 in Tirunelveli and 15 in Natham.
