CSG vs NRK TNPL Match Preview:-
Match: CSG vs NRK TNPL Match Prediction
Time: 23 Jun, 07:15 PM (IST)
Series: TNPL Match 2022
Venue: Indian Cement Company Ground – Tirunelveli
Info:
Only two players scored more runs than Narayan Jagadeesan in the 2021 Tamil Nadu Premier League and the keeper batter is our rip for Chepauk Super Gillies’ highest run scorer against Nellai Royal Kings. With the ball, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore took 2-20 in the 2022 IPL Final and the left-arm spinner is our pick for Chepauk Super Gillies’ top wicket taker in this match.
There was a lack of runs from Nellai Royal Kings over the course of the tournament last season and we are backing their captain, Baba Aparajith, to be their highest run scorer in this opening game. Leg spinner Sanjay Yadav will get plenty of help from this wicket and he is a strong choice for Nellai Royal Kings’ top wicket taker against Chepauk Super Gillies.
Narayan Jagadeesan is a very strong batter and will be looking to build on his success from 2021. He is our prediction for the Player of the Match Award.

CSG Team News:
Chepauk Super Gillies had a sticky start last year with a no-result against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans before losing to Nellai Royal Kings. However, it did them no harm in the long-run and we expect them to line up with the same XI who won the 2021 final.
NRK Team News:
Baba Aparajith’s side will be looking for more consistency this season after producing some impressive results last year but not managing to qualify for the play-offs. Although Nellai have picked up some interesting new signings, we expect them to stick with the majority of the same XI that we saw in 2021.
