Ahmedabad: Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021: This will be the last chance for domestic players to impress before the IPL auction, when the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy knock-out match starts here on Tuesday. Karnataka are looking to retain the title, while seven other teams who have made it to the quarter-finals will have to work hard to get their name on the trophy.
The tournament marked a delayed resumption of the 2020–21 domestic season in the country. The mighty Punjab team stands between Karnataka and their title defense, as the two teams will face each other in the first quarter-finals.
There will also be a fight between Punjab opener Prabhasimran Singh and Karnataka opener Devdutt Padikkal in the match between Punjab and Karnataka. Both these players are in good rhythm. Prabhasimran has scored 277 runs, while Padikkal has scored 207 runs. The middle order of both teams is tremendous. On January 26, the second quarter-final will be between Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh. In this match too, franchisees will be eyeing some players.
The mini auction for IPL 2021 may take place on 18 February. In such a situation, the remaining seven matches of the IPL will be watched by the remaining seven matches, including the final of Syed Mushtaq Ali, as there are many players playing in this tournament, who can come in the auction and bid on them. In such a situation, domestic cricketers will have a chance to leave their mark as well as be part of the new season of IPL.
