Probable Best Batter: Suryakumar Yadav
India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is the standout player in the TKMNE squad. Following a disappointing Indian Premier League, the 35-year-old will want a good tournament to regain some form ahead of a busy white-ball calendar, which will take the Men in Blue to Ireland and England in the coming months.
Probable Best Bowler: Sylvester D'Souza
Sylvester D'Souza is the new-ball bowler for TKMNE, who had an excellent opening game against the North Mumbai Panthers. The 27-year-old bowled three overs and conceded just 23 runs whilst taking two wickets.
