The coveted <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/tnpl/" title="Tamil Nadu Premier League" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Tamil Nadu Premier League</strong></a> (TNPL) will be back with its seventh edition on June 12, 2023. Lyca Kovai Kings (LKK) and Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) will look to defend their titles while other franchises will also strive to play quality cricket throughout the competition and take the prestigious trophy home.&nbsp;

For some veterans who are participating in the league since 2016, this year’s tournament might become their last appearance in the league. Noting the age of a few players, it won’t be wrong to speculate that they could hang up their boots after the upcoming 2023 edition of the league. In the upcoming season, eyes will be set on these players and they will look to make the tournament huge with their dazzling performances.

Here are three players who might retire after the TNPL 2023 edition

3. Shijit Chandran (Siechem Madurai Panthers)

Shijit Chandran is active in the league since 2016. In his vast league career, he has served Siechem Madurai Panthers (SMP) and Lyca Kovai Kings (LKK). From 2016-19, Chandran served SMP as a middle-order batter. In Madurai’s title win in 2018, Chandran played a key role with his bat.

Scoring 213 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 116.39, he became the second-leading run-getter for his side in the competition. In the crucial final match, he held his nerves and stitched a 117-run partnership with Arun Karthik to take the team home by seven wickets with his unbeaten 38-run knock off 49 deliveries. &nbsp;

Chandran joined <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-match-predictions/tnpl-2023-match-1-lkk-vs-itt-match-prediction-who-will-win-todays-tnpl-match-between-lyca-kovai-kings-and-idream-tiruppur-tamizhans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lyca Kovai Kings</strong></a> (LKK) in 2022 and in his new team, the veteran’s role was to play as a middle-order batter. However, with only 76 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 104.10, he failed to justify his role in the side. This year, he will play for Madurai Panthers again and this time, if he fails to perform up to the expectations, there are chances that he might bid adieu to the league.

Arun Karthik is counted among the best players in the league. The veteran was part of the Siechem Madurai Panthers (SMP) till the 2022 edition. After his team’s disappointing performance in the initial two seasons, Karthik played a pivotal role in SMP’s maiden title triumph in the third installment of the league.

Notching up 472 runs with six half-centuries in 10 matches at a strike rate of 153.74, he powered Panthers to win their maiden trophy and also became the highest run-getter in the competition. In the final match of the tournament, he became the Player of the Match for holding his nerves and taking his side home with his stunning 75-run knock off just 50 deliveries.

For his magnificent batting display in the tournament, he also received the Player of the Series award. In 2019, Madurai failed to defend the title but this time, his performance was fabulous as he ended up as the third-leading run-scorer in the tournament, amassing 356 runs in nine matches at a strike rate of 148.95. In the 2022 installment, Karthik became the best batter for Panthers with 293 runs in eight matches at a strike rate of 127.39. This year, he will play for Nellai Royal Kings (NRK), and for his new team, his endeavours might be to continue his decent form in the league and end his career on a high note.

1. Rajagopal Sathish (Chepauk Super Gillies)

Rajagopal Sathish is one of the most experienced players in the league. In 2016, Chepauk Super Gillies (CSG) appointed Sathish their captain. With his experience and capability, he took his team to the final but on D-Day, Gillies lost to Tuti Patriots and ended up as runners-up in the competition.

In 2017, Sathish bagged the maiden title for Super Gillies with his leadership skills, however, his batting performance in the competition was underwhelming as he could score only 70 runs in nine matches at an extremely poor strike rate of 98.59. The right-handed batter joined VB Kanchi Veerans in 2019 and for his new team, he looked fierce with his bat and racked up 178 runs in eight games at a strike rate of 183.50.

The veteran rejoined CSG in 2021 and powered his side to win their third title as a batter, scoring 141 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 145.36. Super Gillies became the joint champions with Lyca Kovai Kings (LKK) in the previous season but this time, Sathish’s performance was non-satisfactory as he scored only 80 runs in eight innings of nine games. Currently, Sathish is 42 years old, and considering his age, it could be said that he might hang up his boots after the 2023 TNPL edition.
