The star acquisition underscores the Tigers\u2019 ambitious campaign for the upcoming season, scheduled from August 11 to 27 at Bengaluru\u2019s iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Padikkal was a vital performer last season, representing the Gulbarga Mystics, where he amassed 253 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 140.55, including two fifties and helping his side reach the semi-finals. Hubli Tigers, last season\u2019s runners-up, have bolstered their squad by also acquiring explosive batters like Abhinav Manohar, aiming to clinch the title this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, I am really excited for the season. Hubli Tigers is a very nice franchise to be a part of. I have heard a lot about them and I am obviously happy with how the squad is. We are pretty well-balanced so I am looking forward to the season. It&#8217;s really great mood in the camp. Especially, in the Shriram Capital Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20, you play with a lot of these guys throughout the year anyway. So, it\u2019s good to meet a few of them, some of them who I have played with before as well. It&#8217;s been really great so far and I am really happy with the squad,\u201d Paddikal revealed.<\/p>\n<p>The Shriram Capital Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 Season 4 Auction witnessed all six teams, defending champions Mysore Warriors, Bengaluru Blasters, Hubli Tigers, Gulbarga Mystics, Shivamogga Lions and Mangaluru Dragons assemble formidable and well-balanced squads on paper. The Hubli Tigers made big moves in the Auction, securing the experienced Mohammed Taha and Abhinav Manohar to build a solid core and added youngsters like Prakhar Chaturvedi, Sankalp SS, Samarth Nagaraj, Rakshith S, Nithin Shanthaveri Nagaraja, Yash Raj Punja to form a well rounded team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Shriram Capital Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 has always been a great platform for everyone in Karnataka to showcase their talents. This year will be no different, to be honest. I am sure there will be a few very exciting players that will come up from this tournament and I am eager to see how they perform,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Padikkal is among India\u2019s brightest young cricketers, making his international debut for India in July 2021 and recently played his maiden Test match in Australia, scoring a half-century in his debut innings. He will now make his debut for the Hubli Tigers in their first match of the season against Shivamogga Lions, on August 12.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery game is important and I will continue to look to improve. At the end of the day, we want to win the tournament and that&#8217;s pretty much the same goal,\u201d he signed off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bengaluru: At this year\u2019s Shriram Capital Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 Auction, Indian left-handed batter Devdutt Padikkal was acquired up by the Hubli Tigers, emerging as the most expensive player with a bid of \u20b913.20 lakh.
