TNPL 2023: Owners of all 8 teams
Some giant business houses from Tamil Nadu spent a decent amount to get the rights of all eight franchises in the Tamil Nadu Premier League.
6. IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans {ITT} - iDream Cinemas and IDream Properties
IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans came into existence in the inaugural edition of TNPL. IDream Cinemas, who own a movie theatre in Royapuram, Chennai, purchased the franchise for INR 3.3 crore. In the six seasons so far, Tamizhans have failed to be impactful as they haven't played quality cricket most of the time.
In 2017, they delivered their best performance in the league under the captaincy of Subramaniam Badrinath. With his leadership, the veteran made the Tamizhans (then Karaikudi Kaalai) the third most successful team in the tournament. Playing in the round-robin stage of the competition, they performed well and ended up in third spot with four wins and three losses.
After 2017, they made it to the playoffs again in the next season. This time, Srikkanth Aniruddha led Karaikudi from the front and became the third-leading run-scorer in the season, with 347 runs in eight matches at a strike rate of 154.22. However, despite his batting efforts, the team couldn’t become champions and ended up their journey in the competition in the Eliminator game of the playoffs, losing to Lyca Kovai Kings (LKK).
