So far, it has been an inconsistent run for the reigning champions this season. The Ravichandran Ashwin-led side has managed to win alternate games out of the 5 played so far. They opened their season campaign with a win over Lyca Kovai Kings by 7 wickets, but lost the following fixture to iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans one-sidedly by 9 wickets.
They got back to winning ways against Siechem Madurai Panthers by a whopping margin of 9 wickets, but fell short against the current table-toppers, Chepauk Super Gillies, by 8 runs. They are heading into this fixture on the back of a win over the Salem Spartans in a thriller of a contest by 2 wickets.
A win in their previous fixture should put them into the driver’s seat for their upcoming fixture against Nellai Royal Kings, who are drooling at the 6th spot on the points table. The Dragons will enter this fixture with the upper hand.
The Nellai Royal Kings find themselves at a crucial juncture in their TNPL 2025 campaign. With just two wins from their first five matches, they’ve slipped to the lower half of the points table and are in desperate need of a turnaround. Their recent defeats, particularly the 67-run loss to Lyca Kovai Kings and a narrow 10-run setback against Madurai Panthers, have exposed inconsistencies in both departments.
While the top order, led by Arun Karthik and D Santhosh Kumar, has shown flashes of brilliance, the middle order has lacked stability under pressure. On the bowling front, Sonu Yadav and Sachin Rathi have delivered impactful spells, but the unit as a whole has struggled to contain runs during the death overs.
With the playoff race heating up, Nellai must regroup quickly and rediscover their winning rhythm. Their upcoming fixtures offer a chance to reset, but only if they tighten their execution and show greater intent in crunch moments. A win in their next outing could reignite their campaign and restore belief in the dressing room. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
