Baba Indrajith stands as Tamil Nadu’s second highest run-getter at present with 606 runs in ten innings. He achieved his second century of the season against Punjab in their previous encounter, having amassed 187 runs from 295 deliveries. He did not get a chance to bat in the second innings but he could be expected to emerge as their standout batter.
Arpit Vasavada to be Vidarbha’s Best Batter
Arpit Vasavada leads Vidarbha’s run charts with 440 runs in 11 innings. In their solitary innings against Manipur, he scored 148 runs in 197 deliveries, making it his first century of the season. He has also previously achieved three half-centuries in the season and could be relied upon to be their leading batter in the next game.

Ajith Ram to be Tamil Nadu’s Best Bowler
Ajith Ram stands as the second highest wicket-taker for the team, having captured 36 wickets in ten innings so far. He delivered two incredible spells against Punjab as he claimed a whopping six wickets in 27.5 overs during the first innings and picked up three more wickets in 18 overs in the second innings. He could be anticipated to remain their top bowler.
Dharmendrasinh Jadeja to be Saurashtra’s Best Bowler
Dharmendrasinh Jadeja is the leading wicket-taker for Saurashtra by a substantial margin as he has captured 39 wickets in a mere 12 innings. He emerged as their top wicket-taker against Manipur in both innings, having claimed four wickets in 20 overs in the first innings and an additional five wickets in 22.5 overs during the second innings. There is a good possibility he could be their leading bowler.
