Dindigul Dragons vs Lyca Kovai Kings Team Previews

Dindigul Dragons

Dindigul Dragons are the champions of last season and they won the TNPL 2024 title by defeating Lyca Kovai Kings in the final. Shivam Singh scored the most — 364 runs — while Sandeep Warrier took 12 wickets. This time too they have a strong core team. They have experienced players like Ashwin, Varun Chakravarthy, and Baba Indrajith who can change the game. Ganeshan Periyaswamy is a useful bowler in the death overs. The Dragons' squad is a perfect mix of balance and experience.

Lyca Kovai Kings

Lyca Kovai Kings finished on top in the league stage last season but lost to Dindigul in the final. Their team was consistent but now Sai Sudharsan will not be with them as he is busy in the Test series. Shahrukh Khan is their leading all-rounder and also the captain. A lot will be expected from Jhatavedh Subramanian and M. Siddharth in bowling. Balasubramaniam, Sachin, and Vishal Vaidhya can handle the top order. If the middle order performs, then this team can change the flow of any match.

DD vs LKK Match Prediction Key Performers

Top Batter: Shivam Singh

Shivam Singh was the top scorer of TNPL last season, scoring 364 runs in 10 matches with a strike rate of 134.81 throughout the season. Shivam Singh was the opener for Dindigul Dragons in the last season, who played till the final and helped his team win the third trophy. He will be important in this match in Sai Sudharsan’s absence, who will move to England for the white ball format. Shivam Singh had an average of 45.50 in the last season, which was the best by any player in the top ten of the most runs list. Shivam Singh and Baba Indrajith will be a deadly combo for Dindigul Dragons.

Top Bowler: Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan, the bowler, was very effective in TNPL 2024, picking up 13 wickets in nine games. He took his team to the finals single-handedly and will look to do the same in this match as well. He is the top bowling pick because of his role in the team. He bowls in the powerplay and death overs for Lyca Kovai Kings. Khan was not used effectively in IPL 2025 by Gujarat Titans, having been used as a proper finisher instead of a proper all-rounder. He should have been used as an all-rounder in the IPL for his complete contribution.

DD vs LKK Today Match Prediction

Dindigul Dragons are the defending champs and they have all the experience with them this season. They have experienced captain Ravichandran Ashwin, top run-scorer of last season Shivam Singh, and Baba Indrajith. They have top-class bowlers in Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier. Their team is rock solid to dominate and win this match in their first home game. This is a repeat of last year’s final and Lyca will look to take revenge, but it will be hard for them against a strong Dindigul Dragons team.
