Preview:
Chepauk Super Gillies and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans will lock horns for the second match of the TNPL. The former are the defending champions and are the most successful team of the tournament. Kaushik Gandhi is all set to captain the side this year.
On the other hand, IDream Karaikudi Kaalai have been rebranded as IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans and would be captainced by M Mohammad. They did not have a good season last year as they finished at the bottom. The team have been dominated by Chepauk Super Gillies in the previous encounters and thus they would be keen to exude a good performance in this match.
