Tamil Nadu shouldn’t be making any changes after a good win against Gujarat in the semi-final.

Their bowling unit is their stronger suit with the arrival of Ravichandran Ashwin also boosting their chances of a win. Dinesh Karthik and Baba Aparajith have scored over 400 runs this season and will key for them in this final.
