TNPL is considered one of the best and successful leagues to be held in India. Last year around 13 players from Tamil Nadu had played in the IPL which is the highest across all states in India. What has been the success mantra behind this would be the major question among people. There are many to be answered but one thing that has stood out is the left-arm spin factory this league produces.
The highest wicket tacker of TNPL is Sai Kishore (68) who is now a net bowler for the Indian team in Srilanka. This year every team has one or more left-arm spinners with each playing every game.
CSG - Manimaran Siddharth, Alexander - He has the best bowling figures in TNPL (4-0-5-9)
Dindugal Dragons - Silambarasan (Considered by Ashwin as one of the bright future of TN)
RTW - Rahil Shah, Mathivanan (Highest wicket-taker 2021 edition till date)
There are many more but to name a few who have done well across all TNPL editions.
Youngsters stepping Up.
Sai Sudharshan who was part of the India U19 setup is the 2nd highest run-getter this year. The type of shot he has and with good strokes, he would make it to the TN squad this year for the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy if he performs the same way.
Amit Sathvik - Explosive top-order batsmen playing his 1st match under lights and his maiden TNPL hit 71 of 50 balls which shows his confidence and playing without fear.
Pradosh Ranjan Paul - He has been in the mix with TN for almost 2 years. He was with the Indian U19 as well. This year too he hit a match-winning knock with the likes of Baba brothers in the squad.
Many youngsters here were part of Junior Super Kings who were taken to Yorkshire for exposure camp which could have played a major part. Apart from this many district talents have come forward who are not specifically from Chennai playing their natural game.
The major success for TN performing well in the shorter formats is because of talents produced from TNPL. This year to selectors are going to find it difficult of picking the squad for the t20 tournament with plenty of talent. Scouting to this year would be very immense with IPL mega auctions coming up. The numbers could rise from 13 with the way the league has started this year.
Many names mentioned here would not be known to many not following this league but I believe with the big IPL coming next year many would get to know about them very soon.
