2018 TNPL: Hemang Badani picks his hits and misses

Hit: KB Arun Karthik

TNPL 2018's leading run-getter

If someone who deserves to get his hands on the TNPL trophy, it has to be Siechem Madurai Panthers opener KB Arun Karthik. Arun, who has been with the Madurai panthers since the first season, never won a TNPL match in the first two seasons and in the third, he will be playing in the final against Dindigul Dragons.

The new-look Madurai franchise won their first-ever TNPL match and made it till the final and one of the main reasons of it is the batting of Arun Karthik. The Kerala batsman is the leading run scorer in the tournament with 397 runs in nine innings at an average of 66.16 and a strike-rate of 154.47. He will be hope to replicate his form in the final of the tournament too.
