The first match of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2023 will be played between Lyca Kovai Kings and iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans on Monday, June 12 at SNR College Cricket Ground, Coimbatore.

Chepauk Super Gillies and Lyca Kovai Kings were crowned co-champions of the Tamil Nadu Premier League 2022. Shahrukh Khan, the captain of Lyca Kovai Kings, will be looking to lead his team to another fruitful season, with a squad brimming with young talent and firepower.

In addition to Shahrukh Khan, the presence of Sai Sudarshan, who left a lasting impression with his magnificent batting displays for the Gujarat Titans during the Indian Premier League 2023, adds to the excitement surrounding Lyca Kovai Kings.

iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, on the other hand, had a somewhat underwhelming season last year, with only three wins out of the seven matches they played. They finished the league stage at the fifth spot on the points table and would be keen to bounce back stronger in this upcoming season and make a mark.

Vijay Shankar had an exceptional season with the Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League 2023, and he aims to carry forward his stellar form into this tournament as well. Additionally, the likes of R Sai Kishore, NS Chaturved, and Vishal Vaidhya will be some other exciting talents to keep an eye on for the Idream Tiruppur Tamizhans.
