Karaikudi Kaalai Team News & Playing 11
Karaikudi Kaalai will be captained by Srikkanth Anirudha who finished third on the runs charts last year with 347 runs. The skipper hit a couple of half-centuries and scored a 28-ball 41 in the game against Ruby Trichy Warriors. While he is going to be the key man once again for his side at the top of the order, the team's middle-order batting will rely mainly on wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. Karaikudi will also expect handy contributions with the bat from Maan Bafna and V Aditya. R Rajkumar, S Mohan Prasath and Yo Mahesh are the main weapons in the team's bowling arsenal. Rajkumar and Mahesh were their most impressive bowlers last time with 11 wickets apiece. Mahesh is likely to lead Karaikudi's pace attack and he will be backed by his team to strike early. Mohan Prasath took three wickets last time against the Warriors and the left-arm spinner can trouble them again.
