Players to watch out:
Dhara Gujjar
The 21-year-old batter got her season underway impressively with a score of 41. However, she missed the chance to capitalize on that momentum, departing with scores of 22 (29), 15 (19), and 9 (17) in the following games. Dhara is a promising batter, and the team will bank on her to make a comeback and contribute significantly.
Shrayosi Aich
The 24-year-old leg-spinner has started her domestic campaign on a high, delivering economical spells and also picking up wickets consistently. Shrayosi, in 5 games, has taken 7 wickets while maintaining an excellent economy rate of 3.76. It is expected of her to build on this momentum and continue to make the most of the strong start she has had.
Dinesh Vrinda
The 22-year-old batter is a talented up-and-coming player who began her campaign in fine style with a 43-ball 60. Dinesh’s form saw a dip, but she quickly bounced back with a remarkable 34-ball 67 in her most recent outing. Karnataka will rely on Dinesh to continue building on this momentum and deliver bigger and better performances.
Challuru Prathyusha
The 25-year-old leg-spinner has once again made a bright start to the domestic season. In 4 games so far, Challuru has excelled with the ball, returning bowling figures of 2/23, 1/14, 2/13, and 2/12. With her confidence running high, the team will look to her to maintain this form.
