The owners have done very well in naming their team the Thiruvallur Veerans. ‘Veeran’ stands for someone who embodies bravery, a hero almost, ready to fight. And thus, they have an army of heroes. The name has a nice aggressive ring to it and thus is rated highly on the list.

The team is owned by the VB Cricket Academy and they decided to have their name in the title. It has lead to confusion whether the team is indeed owned by Victoria Bitter, an Australian Beverage Company.
