The 2024 Tamil Nadu Premier League finale is all set to kick off as Lyca Kovai Kings get ready to take on Dindigul Dragons on August 4 at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

Ahead of the game, Lyca skipper Shahrukh Khan said during his stint with IPL side Gujarat Titans he got to work a lot on batting against the spinners, which had a positive effect on him.

"When I was with the Gujarat Titans, we had a camp for about a couple of months there. So, I started working a lot on my spin game because they wanted me to bat up the order," he said.



"And, when you bat up the order, obviously for a batter like me having my concerns against spin, especially, opponent teams would bring in spin when I come out to bat.

"So, their role was to help me improve my spin game, and it helped. The front press I'm doing (in this TNPL) is quite obvious now, and it has helped me to score off the front foot and the back foot as well."

The 29-year-old all-rounder has been his side's second-highest run-getter for the season, after B Sai Sudharsan, and possesses the best strike rate from his team -- 191.37.

The Kovai-based franchise has won the titles in the previous two seasons, and this is its third straight final appearance, with another title at stake they would look to put their best foot forward when they meet R Ashwin led side.
