TUTI Patriots Team News & Playing 11
TP Team News
TUTI Patriots need more runs in their middle order, though they do have the players to provide that. They brought in nine players in the draft and, having started three last time out, more could feature this time. Washington Sundar is currently away with India, however, which does leave them without one of their key men.
TP Key Players
Akshay Srinivasan: Set the tempo with 55 from 41 balls at the top of the order last time out, but his dismissal was typical of the frustrations the Patriots endured in the middle overs. Nevertheless, the form was clearly there early on.
Subramania Siva: Captain in place of Washington Sundar, his 74-run partnership with Srinivasan had the Patriots well placed at the halfway stage. His dismissal sparked a poor finish to the innings, however.
M Ganesh Moorthi: The only Patriots bowler to take a wicket last time out, but he was also economical with his left-arm spin and it will be interesting to see if he can be as tight with a bigger target to defend.
TP Team Form
TUTI Patriots collapsed from 79/1 mid-way through the tenth over to 124/8 at the end of their innings against Siechem Madurai Panthers, in their opening game. That limp finish was to prove costly too, as the Panthers chased the target in just 12.2 overs for the loss of only one wicket.
TUTI Patriots Predicted Playing 11
Akshay Srinivasan, Wilkinson Victor (wk), Subramania Siva, S Nathan, Shubham Mehta, Vasanth Saravanan, R Karthikeyan, Ganesh Moorthi, Sathya Raj, S Boopalan, Tamil Kumaran
Lyca Kovai Kings Team News & Playing 11
LKK Team News
Lyca Kovai Kings were in dominant form in their opening game of the tournament, with only wicket-keeper-batsman Ranjan Paul falling short as he was dismissed cheaply. The team is likely to be unchanged as a result.
LKK Key Players
Abhinav Mukund: After good first-class form with Tamil Nadu, the Kovai Kings’ captain picked up where he left off as he hit 12 fours on his way to an unbeaten 70 from 44 balls in the opening game.
Shahrukh Khan: The Kovai Kings’ top run-scorer last season was back to his explosive best in the opening game of this year’s tournament too. He hit 40 from 21 balls in an 84-run opening partnership to set the tone for a comfortable win.
Thangarasu Natarajan: Last year, he took 12 wickets and conceded at less than six an over. Already this season he has taken 2-21 from the four overs he has bowled with left-arm medium pace.
LKK Team Form
Lyca Kovai Kings started this year’s Tamil Nadu Premier League tournament in excellent form. Thangarasu Natarajan (2-21) and S Manigandan (3-40) helped them limit VB Kanchi Veerans to 150/6 and, in reply, Sharukh Khan (40) and Abhinav Mukund (70*) shared an 84-run opening stand on their way to an eight-wicket win.
Lyca Kovai Kings Predicted Playing 11
Shahrukh Khan, Abhinav Mukund (c), Ranjan Paul (wk), Anirudh Sita Ram, Akkil Srinaath, S Manigandan, Ajith Ram, Malolan Rangarajan, Anthony Das, Thangarasu Natarajan, Kishnamoorthy Vignesh
