MPS vs NRK Team Previews
Madurai Panthers
The Siechem Madurai Panthers played well in the last season, and finished 3rd on the points table, winning 5 of the 7 matches they played. However, they were unlucky to lose the Eliminator against the Lyca Kovai Kings in a rain-curtailed encounter.
S Karthik and Hari Nishaanth are expected to open the batting for the Madurai Panthers this season. Nishanth was the top run-getter for the Dindigul Dragons with 172 runs in 7 matches last season. Shijith Chandran comes in from the Lyca Kovai Kings and will add strength to the middle order.
Madurai Panthers have Washington Sundar, who brings in plenty of domestic as well as international experience and will play an important role here. Along with him, Jagatheesan Kousik is the other all-rounder on the squad. Ajay Krishna had a decent outing with the all for the Ruby Trichy Warriors last season and he will play for the Panthers here.
V Aaditya and Murugan Ashwin are two quality spinners in the team, while Dev Rahul, Gurjapneet Singh, and V Gowtham will lead the pace attack.
Madurai Panthers Playing 11
S Karthik, Hari Nishanth, Jagatheesan Kousik, Washington Sundar, Swapnil Singh, Deeban Lingesh, Murugan Ashwin, D Sudhan, Balu Surya, Gurjapneet Singh, Dev Rahul.
Nellai Royal Kings
The Nellai Royal Kings lost just 1 of the 7 group-stage matches last season and finished at the top of the points table. However, they will be quite disappointed as they were unable to make it through to the Finals after losing both the qualifiers. The team will be looking to come in with a fresh frame of mind here.
The team has let go of two of their top scorers from the last season, Sanjay Yadav and Baba Aparajith, and it will be interesting to see how they cope with such a big void. Arun Karthik, who was the top run-getter for the Madurai Panthers in the last season has been brought in to reinforce the batting.
He will be supported by Sri Neranjan, Laxmesha Suryaprakash, and Guruswamy Ajitesh. Aswin Crist picked up 11 wickets in 7 matches in the last season while playing for the Tiruppur Tamizhans and will lead the pace attack here along with Emmanuel Cherian and Sandeep Warrier.
Karthick Manikandan, NS Harish, and S Mohan Prasath are the 3 quality spinners on the team.
Nellai Royal Kings Playing 11
Arun Karthik, S Arunkumar, Nidhish Rajagopal, R Sonu Yadav, Rithik Easwaran, Ajitesh G, Karthick Manikandan, S Mohan Prasath, SS Warrier, M Poiyamozhi, S Lakshay Jain.
