Chennai
Excerpts:Â
Q. What difference do you see between the team you had played last season and the team you are currently part of?Â
Vasanth Saravanan: Both the teams’ game plans are different because the coaches and the managements are different. When I played for CSG last year, I had a different experience with Hemang Badani and this year we have Ajay Kudua and Hemanth Kumar with RTW and the experience here is different.Â
Q. Who do you think will be your key players?
Hemant Kumar: There are a few batsmen and bowlers we have huge expectations upon. We have two very good openers in Indrajith and Bharath Shankar who have been retained and they have performed very well in the last season as well. This year we have Vasanth, Suresh, Ganapathy (all rounder) joining the team and two left arm spinners Vignesh and M S Sanjay as well. Also, Sonu Yadav has shown some promising performances in the U-19 circuit this year.Â
Q. How important is TNPL for the players with RTW playing the season opener?Â
Hemant Kumar: Every year TNPL has been an eye opener for many players and in fact many players even went on to play for IPL as well. It’s a great platform to play because the reach is tremendous. The players believe that anybody can play anywhere if they perform well in TNPL and so everybody is looking forward to doing well in this tournament.Â
