In this edition, these two teams have met four times, with Heroes winning three of those four times. The last time these two met was in Qualifier-1, which Heroes won to advance to the final. Ashish Malik and M Sudhakar, the tournaments best defender and raider, are also members of each of these teams. This is a highly anticipated match that will be fascinating to watch. If Hampi wins, they will win back-to-back titles.

Palani Tuskers:

M Sudhakar,S Sanjeevi,S Mukilan, Velavan Muruganantham,M Muthu Masan,.S Mukesh Khannan,Sakthivel R,M Gokula Kannan.

Top picks:

M Sudhakar, Ashish Malik and Ankit Rana.

Super sub:

M Gokula Kannan came off the bench in the previous game and scored 5 crucial points. He is a very reliable player off the bench and, due to his excellent form, he could even start this game.

Raiders:

In this game, our raiding duo will be S Sanjeevi of Tuskers, who has 101 raid points in the tournament, and Ankit Rana, the main raider for Heroes, who has 144 points. S Khatri of Heroes, who has 158 points in the competition, will be another pick. We expect this trio to shine once more in the finals.

All Rounders: 

M Sudhakar leads the tournament in raid points with 304. He was one of the surprises in the winter edition. He will undoubtedly be our primary allrounder, as no other player, this season has crossed the 300-point mark. He has a strike rate of 78% and an average of 11.5 points per game. A lot will be riding on Tuskers shoulders if they are to win this final.

Defenders:

Ashish Malik, the tournaments best defender, is in the final with Heroes. The young player we saw in the Summer Edition is now in his immaculate maturity, having scored 112 tackle points with a 60% success rate. He will once again command the defensive guard of Heroes, which will be extremely difficult to crack. S Mukilan of Tuskers, a team known for its attacking power, will be another pick. He has done brilliantly for them, scoring 53 tackle points. S Mahender, who has recently scored 20 tackle points, will be our final pick.

Captain and vice-captain picks:

M Sudhakar, the tournaments leading scorer, will serve as our captain, and we anticipate a strong performance from him. Ankit Rana has been chosen as our vice-captain.
