Players To Look Out For– LKK vs SS, TNPL 2025
Lyca Kovai Kings (LKK)
M Shahrukh Khan – Fireworks are always on the cards when the southpaw walks in to bat. A natural finisher, he can turn the game in a few overs.
Manimaran Siddharth – Composed and considered, Siddharth’s left-arm spin is the sort that sneakily dismantles top orders before you’ve even glanced.
Suresh Lokeshwar – Opening batsman, Suresh is the type of batter who can play the anchor role while his teammates bat around him. Reliable and rock solid.

Salem Spartans (SS)
Hari Nishaanth – A stylish stroke-maker who loves setting the tone, Hari’s early aggression often gives the Spartans the spark they need.
Rahil Shah – A seasoned campaigner, Rahil is the kind of bowler who thrives when the pressure’s on—tight spells, smart variations, and big moments.
Rajendran Vivek – With the bat or ball, Vivek is always in the game. He’s the utility player who pops up just when the team needs a lift.

Player Battles to Watch – Lyca Kovai Kings vs Salem Spartans
M Shahrukh Khan vs Rahil Shah
Shahrukh Khan is known for lighting up the innings with big hits, but Rahil Shah’s clever variations might just have the last laugh. If Shahrukh goes after him, it’ll be fireworks or a turning point.

Hari Nishaanth vs Manimaran Siddharth
Hari loves to build brisk starts, but Manimaran’s crafty left-arm spin can be tricky on slow pitches. This one’s a brainy battle—who reads the conditions better?

Nidhish Rajagopal vs R Divakar
Nidhish Prabhu adds calm and class to Salem’s middle order, but Divakar is capable of disturbing rhythms in a jiffy. This chess match could subtly determine the course of the innings.

Suresh Lokeshwar vs M Poiyamozhi
Lokeshwar loves playing the waiting game and rotating strike but Poiyamozhi’s skiddy best seamer in powerplay can take the air out of him. If Poiyamozhi can strike early, LKK will get dented early.

Considering the team combination, Lyca Kovai Kings is expected to win this match.

Lyca have been in really good form this season with Sai Sudharshan taking full control of the batting line-up and batting with full confidence. Salem too with a young side has shown glimpses of good performances but will need to push harder for better results.
