Murali Vijay set for return in TNPL

However, Vijay is not expected to play their next match against Chepauk Super Gillies.

TNPL season 2 kicked off on 22ND July and features 8 teams.

Kovai Kings have played two matches so far in the tournament, winning 1 and losing 1.

“A lot depends on how he feels about himself. But from what we see he is shaping up well. Last year he did play a couple of games for us, so this time (depending on fitness) he could well join us in the latter half,” said J Syed Mohammed, skipper of Kovai Kings

Now Vijay is all set to make a comeback on the cricket field according to TOI.

The 33-year-old will feature in the Tamil Nadu Premier League for the Kovai Kings franchise.

Shikhar Dhawan was named Man of the Match for his brilliant 190 in the first innings.

Dhawan had been included in the Test squad in place of right hander Murali Vijay who had sustained an injury on his right wrist, earlier this month.

India started off their Sri Lanka tour in grand fashion by thumping the Lankan side in the Galle Test by 304 runs.
