Prasidh, is expected to lead the pace attack while Padikkal, who lit up the IPL stage with breathtaking knocks in the last two seasons, is expected to open alongside Jos Buttler.
Karun, on the other hand, is expected to add experience to the middle-order which it has lacked in the last couple of years.
