Power Players for Kovai vs Nellai Match
Abhishek Tanwar is yet to go wicketless in this competition, owing to which he is the leading wicket-taker (15). He has taken three consecutive three-wicket hauls in this season.
Barring an innings of 51*, Shahrukh Khan hasn’t fired with the bat. That said, he has made amends with the ball by picking 10 wickets, including the best figures of 4 for 14. The knockout game might just unleash the beast in him!
Sanjay Yadav and J Suresh Kumar have been the two best batters by a distance in this edition. While Yadav has smashed 397 runs at 99, including 4 half-centuries, Suresh Kumar has added 372 runs at 62, including 3 half-centuries. Yadav also tops the six-hitting charts (33).
Not too far behind these two is the talented Baba Aparajith. His recent scores of 33, 37, 92*, 63, and 34 will keep fantasy players interested. He has also been bowling in every game and has 3 wickets to his credit.

Smart Picks for the Match
The only time Balu Surya went wicketless this season was against Nellai. However, he has bagged 10 wickets in 7 games, including the figures of 3 for 19 in Coimbatore.
After an initial stutter, Sai Sudharsan found his way back to consistent run-making. Besides registering two unbeaten fifties, he also got a match-defining 35 against Nellai a few days ago.
NS Harish might have gone wicketless in the last two games, but he still has 9 wickets in the tournament. He has also generated bonus fantasy points through his economical bowling.
Form Concern
Baba Indrajith has not enjoyed a fruitful time this season. He has only managed 82 runs in 6 innings. It remains to be seen if the knockout game will motivate him to give his best.

Kovai vs Nellai Match Preview
