TNPL 2016.
The 2016 edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League began on 24 August 2016. The captain of the side Ravichandran Ashwin was not available due to International commitments and V Subramania Siva captained the Dindigul Dragons in his place. The team began the tournament in an unstoppable fashion. They won their 1st 4 matches on the trot (including one against the Tuti Patriots virtue of a Super Over). They also had their captain R Ashwin back for the clash against Ruby Kanchi Warriors. Their winning streak was put to an end by the eventual runners-up Chepauk Super Gillies. Ravichandran Ashwin played only 2 games, yet Dindigul Dragons managed to finish 2nd in the points table and qualify to the semi-finals. The team management hoped Ravichandran Ashwin would be available to play the all important semi-finals but their hopes went in vain as the BCCI did not clear Ashwin to play in it due to Team India's series against New Zealand that was coming up. The team missed his presence in the semi-final and lost to eventual champions Tuti Patriots. Jagadeesan was the leading Run scorer for Dindigul with 397 runs and Murugan Ashwin was the leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets.

Ashwin Venkatraman replaced Ravichandran Ashwin as the captain due to the latter's unavailability courtesy Team India's tour of Sri Lanka.
The campaign started with a defeat against the TUTI Patriots. In the next game, it created a tournament record (the margin of victory in terms of wickets and balls left) by defeating the Madurai Super Giants by 10 wickets and with 57 balls to spare. The team lost the next game and the next was abandoned due to rain. Losses in their final two group games saw it finish 6th on the points table and rendering them unable to qualify for the play-off(s).
