LKK vs SMP Team Previews

Lyca Kovai Kings

LKK will once again be led by the experienced Shahrukh Khan, who has over 1000 TNPL runs and provides power in the lower middle order. Sai Sudharsan, coming off a strong IPL season, is the key batter with over 850 TNPL runs. His ability to anchor the innings gives LKK a strong platform.

U Mukilesh is an emerging talent, while J Suresh Kumar is a reliable opener with 700+ runs and a decent strike rate. All-rounders M Mohammed and R Divakar add tremendous balance. Mohammed’s 4/22 in the 2024 final turned the game in LKK’s favour.

Valliappan Yudheeswaran, the right-arm quick, and left-arm spinner Manimaran Siddharth are both wicket-taking threats. M Abhinav and NS Harish round out a versatile bowling attack.
