Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021: KER vs PUD preview 

Having been grouped alongside SMAT heavyweights like Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi and Mumbai, both Kerala and Puducherry will be rearing to get their first domestic campaign of 2021 off to a winning start. Despite having a bevy of IPL and Indian stars in their team, Kerala have never been considered a tough team. However, after their fourth-place finish over the likes of UP in the last season, the young team is out to prove their detractors wrong.

They will be packing some serious talent, with captain Sanju Samson coming off a good international and IPL season along with veteran Robin Uthappa, Basil Thampi and a possible return for 37-year old S Sreesanth who has served out his 7-year long ban in relation to the 2013 IPL spot-fixing case. Puducherry will also be returning after a strong 5th place finish in the last season. They will be pinning their hopes on captain Damodaren Rohit and vice-captain Paras Dogra to take them through to a good finish.
