Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell are the engine room of the batting order, capable of anchoring or accelerating as needed. Donovan Ferreira and Milind Kumar add firepower down the order, giving TSK reliable finishers.

Noor Ahmad and Akeal Hosein handle the spin department with guile and control, while Adam Milne’s pace adds venom to the powerplay. Nandre Burger and Mohammad Mohsin bring balance as dependable seamers who can hit the right lengths. With a variety of options, TSK can adapt to both flat tracks and spinning wickets.
