Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Karun Nair

Mysore Warriors skipper Karun Nair could prove to be the key batter in this clash. Although he is coming on the back of a subpar performance in the Test series against England, a changed format will provide another chance for him to regain form. The prolific right-hander was the leading run-scorer in the 2024 edition, amassing 560 runs in 12 games. His form at the top will be crucial to the team’s chances of starting their new campaign with a win.

Probable Best Bowler: Prasidh Krishna

The right-arm pacer Prasidh Krishna could be the key bowler in the second match of the 2025 edition. Bringing immense experience of playing at the international level, he finished as the leading wicket-taker in IPL 2025 and also delivered solid performances in the recently concluded Test series against England. His form will be pivotal, and his four-over spell could well be the deciding factor in this nail-biting contest.
