Vijaykumar Vyshak has big shoes to fill as he replaces Devdutt Padikkal as the captain for the team this season. The winners of the inaugural title did well last season but had a poor outing in the semifinal, where they lost to the Bengaluru Blasters. They have retained key players from the last season, and Vyshak would like to get his team off to a winning start.
Krishnamurthy Siddharth is an exciting batsman, and he will look to deliver a good start in this game with Luvnith Sisodia. Smaran Ravichandran will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Faizan Khan and Bangalore Mohit. The side expects good performances in the lower middle order from Praveen Dubey and Sheetal Kumar.
The bowling attack is inexperienced. Vijaykumar Vyshak will look to lead from the front and grab early wickets in this game, with Monish Reddy. Prithviraj Shekhawat and Younis Ali Baig must do well in the middle overs and apply pressure on the batters. The team will also expect a good show in the supporting role from Prajwal Payan and Dubey.
