Pitch Report
The pitch in Salem is on the slower side, with run-scoring being a tad difficult on this surface. There should be enough turn available to keep the spinners interested from ball one. The pacers, however, might not get much help early on, with a change of pace being the key for them. Both teams will look to chase under the lights, with 150 being the par score at the venue.
Today’s LKK vs NRK Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Suresh Kumar: Suresh Kumar has been sensational at the top of the order for Lyca Kovai Kings, coming up with blistering knocks in the powerplay overs. He has a couple of fifties to his name, with his ability to take on the pacers being the key. Given his form and ability, he should be one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Baba Aparajith: Baba Aparajith comes into the game on the back of a fine knock against the Ruby Trichy Warriors, stitching together a record partnership with Sanjay Yadav. Apart from his batting exploits, Aparajith has chipped in with the ball as well, adding balance to the side. With the conditions suiting his style of play, he is a good addition to your LKK vs NRK Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Shahrukh Khan: Shahrukh Khan has been decent in TNPL 2022, coming up with valuable contributions with both the bat and ball. While he has finished a couple of games with the bat, he has excelled as an extra spinner, accounting for eight wickets. With Shahrukh due for a big score, he is a must-have in your LKK vs NRK Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
V Athisayaraj Davidson: Athisayaraj Davidson has had his moments in this year's TNPL, but has lacked consistency with the ball. The experienced pacer is known for his wicket-taking ability in the death overs and can rely on his subtle variations as well. Given the conditions on offer, Davidson could pick up a wicket or two for the Royal Kings.
