The Mysore Warriors, defending champions of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20, are gearing up to defend their title in the 2025 edition of the tournament. After a dominant performance in 2024, which saw them beat the Bengaluru Blasters by 45 runs in the final, the Warriors will be aiming to replicate their success this season.
A key figure in their title-winning run was Karun Nair, who was named Player of the Season for his consistent performances and leadership. Heading into the 2025 auction, Mysore have retained a strong core, combining experience with promising young talent.

Karun Nair - ₹6.8 lakh
Prasidh Krishna - ₹2 lakh
Karthik S U - ₹0.5 lakh
Karthik CA - ₹4.2 lakh
These retained players form a solid foundation, giving the team a good mix of batting, pace, and potential.
With a healthy purse at their disposal, the Warriors made strategic buys to reinforce their squad with versatile all-rounders and middle-order firepower. The goal was to build a side capable of going the distance again and their biggest signing of today's auction was Manish Pandey, someone who is not only a star in the IPL has a fair share of experience in the international stage as well for India.
Despite the tournament being played behind closed doors at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru due to safety protocols, fan interest remains high. Known for their tactical approach and fighting spirit, Mysore Warriors are entering the 2025 season as one of the favourites to lift the trophy once more.
