Probable Impact Player: Thamarai Kannan
Sai Sudharsan: Sai Sudharsan will be undoubtedly the best captaincy choice ahead of this match. He is currently the best batter in the tournament so far. He is sitting at the top of the highest run scorers’ chart with 247 runs in four innings, including three half centuries.
Shahrukh Khan: Shahrukh Khan’s all-round abilities makes him a must pick for captaincy ahead of this game. Yes, he is yet to play a big innings with the bat due to lack of opportunities but he has been taking wickets with his off spin regularly. He has been taking a wicket every 8.5 deliveries this season. Overall, he is second joint highest wicket taker with 7 wickets in 4 games.
Varun Chakravarthy: Varun Chakravarthy will be another safe captaincy choice ahead of this match. The star-spinner is currently the highest wicket taker in the tournament with eight wickets at a mindblowing strike rate of 9.
J Subramanyan: Subramanyan has been hardly picked by any team as of writing this. Being a leg spinner, Subramanyan will always be a threat to batters in this format. It is advisable to keep him as one of your differential picks for this match.
Adithya Ganesh: Adithya Ganesh made a match winning contribution with the bat in Dindigul’s last win. There is a good chance he will have to step up once again in this lineup. He is selected by only 23% of the teams as of now, making him one of the best differential picks available.
Atheeq Ur Rahman: Atheeq Ur Rahman has not played a match despite batting at the top of the order for LKK. It is advisable to avoid picking him in your XI for this match.
