Captaincy Picks for NRK vs RTW:
Baba Aparajith
The all-rounder is one of the most sought after Tamil Nadu players going around and many eyes would be on him. Aparajith can score runs consistently and his handy off-spins have challenged the best of batsmen. Notably, Baba Aparajith scored 213 runs last season at an average of over 40. Hence, the youngster would like to continue from where he left.
Antony Dhas
Another player to watch out for in this contest is Antony Dhas. The right-arm pacer tends to take wickets without leaking too many runs. He’s also very much capable of scoring quick runs in crunch overs. In 12 T20 matches so far, Dhas has scalped 14 wickets alongside scoring 88 runs.
