Table topper Dindigul Dragons are all set to host Lyca Kovai Kings in their upcoming TNPL 2023 match at the SCF Cricket Ground in Salem. Notably, under the leadership of Ravichandran Ashwin, the Dragons have played some brilliant cricket, winning all their three matches in the ongoing season. In the last match, mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy was brilliant, picking up three wickets while Adithya Ganesh and Suboth Bhati were exceptional in the lower order.
Coming to the visiting team, they won three out of their last four matches in the league. They have dominated the opposition batting unit so far and thus, it will not be easy for Dindugul, especially with their top order not being in form at the moment. Notably, opener S Sujay hit 72* runs off 59 deliveries in the last match and it will be interesting to see how things conclude in his rivalry with Varun.
