He achieved his second century of the season against Punjab in their previous encounter, having amassed 187 runs from 295 deliveries.

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.
