#1 Karnataka
Karnataka will be without three of their stalwarts, namely Vinay Kumar, Stuart Binny and CM Gautam for the upcoming season, all of whom have migrated to different states. Hence, the onus will be on the other experienced players in this team.
Manish Pandey will lead them this edition while KL Rahul, who was dropped from the Indian Test team, will also represent the state.
While the batting line-up already looks strong with KL and Manish, the presence of talented youngsters such as Devdutt Padikkal and KV Siddharth will make this line-up one of the best in the tournament.
Karnataka has a strong lower middle-order with Indian Premier League stars K Gowtham and Shreyas Gopal serving as the all-rounders in this team. Pavan Deshpande and Praveen Dubey can also do a bit of both if required and will offer balance to the team.
Led by Abhimanyu Mithun, the team's bowling attack looks decent with Ronit More and Prasidh Krishna having been in good form lately.
The potential return of Karun Nair after his India A commitments would further strengthen this team as the tournament progresses.
