Team Previews
Raigad Royals Preview:
A formidable unit in the MPL circuit, Raigad Royals carry the legacy of being the first champions. Their squad boasts a blend of youth and experience, and they’re known for a well-structured game plan. Key batter Siddhesh Veer—the top run-scorer last season—will lead the charge with the bat. With support from Rushabh Rathod, Swapnil Fulpagar, and Vicky Ostwal, the Royals can challenge any bowling attack.
The bowling attack, led by young spinners and supported by pace options like Savya Gajraj and Ajay Borude, has variety but will need control on a batting-friendly Pune surface. They’ll look to restrict the strong Satara middle order early on. Their recent recruitment shows ambition and depth.
Satara Warriors Preview:
Led by Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Satara Warriors will be eyeing a fresh chapter in their MPL journey. Their pace spearhead brings IPL-level exposure, and his leadership will be crucial. The squad also features quality players like Shamshuzama Kazi, Pavan Shah, Jagdish Zope, and all-rounder Harshal Kate.
They are well-suited for the Pune conditions, especially with multiple spinners and solid middle-order batters. The presence of all-rounders gives the Warriors the balance they need. Their bowling attack, led by Hangargekar and Shevalkar, is capable of defending competitive totals. Expect the Warriors to play with aggression and intent.
