Probable Best Performers of the Match Probable Best Batter: Nidhish RajagopalProbable Best Bowler: Varun Chakravarthy
Varun Chakravarthy starred with the ball during Dindigul's previous game with an excellent three-wicket haul to his name. One can anticipate him to build on the momentum gained. He has so far picked up four wickets in as many games, but would be hoping to produce a magical spell given his mastery in spinning the ball both ways and experience of delivering under pressure.
