Tamil Nadu Premier League 2025 continues with a pivotal clash between Trichy Grand Cholas (TGC) and IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans (ITT) at the Salem Cricket Foundation Stadium. Both teams are eager to make their mark in this 12th fixture of the season, but their campaigns so far have been contrasting.
Trichy Grand Cholas are yet to open their account this season, languishing at seventh on the points table after two consecutive defeats. Their most recent outing saw them fall short by just seven runs while chasing 180 against Salem Spartans, despite valiant knocks from Jagatheesan Kousik (62 off 39) and R Rajkumar (59 off 26). The team will be desperate for their first win and will rely on captain Suresh Kumar, all-rounder Sanjay Yadav, and the experience of Washington Sundar to turn things around.
IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, currently third on the table, have had a mixed start—one win and two losses from three games. Their last match ended in a four-wicket loss to Salem Spartans, but wicketkeeper-batter Tushar Raheja’s explosive 74 off 28 balls was a highlight. Raheja, the league’s leading run-scorer with 218 runs at an average of 109.00, will be key again, supported by skipper Sai Kishore and left-arm pacer T Natarajan. Historically, ITT have dominated this rivalry, winning three of the last four head-to-head encounters, and enter as favourites given their current form and squad depth.
