Maharaja Trophy KSCA 2025: Mysore Warriors rope in Manish Pandey in Auction, Check Full Squad with Auction Buys

The Mysore Warriors have assembled a formidable 18-member squad ahead of the fourth edition of the Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 2025. The selections, made during the auction held on 15th July 2025 at the Chancery Pavilion, reflect a strategic blend of youth and experience aimed at mounting a serious title challenge.

Set to unfold at Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium from 11th to 27th August, the tournament will see Mysore Warriors take on Hubballi Tigers, Bangalore Blasters, Mangalore Dragons, Gulbarga Mystics, and Shimmoga Lions - but with renewed confidence in their line-up, the Warriors are being seen as serious contenders this year.

Speaking after the auction, Mr. Arjun Ranga, Owner of Mysore Warriors and Managing Director of Cycle Pure Agarbathi, struck an optimistic note:

"This is perhaps one of the most balanced squads we've built. We've selected standout performers from across the state, and we're confident they will bring intensity, flair, and consistency to the field. The aim is clear - we're going all out for the title."

The Warriors retained Karun Nair, Prasidh Krishna, Karthik SU and Karthik CA ahead of the auction. In the bidding war, they signed former India player Manish Pandey for Rs 12.20 lakh, while Krishnappa Gowtham was also roped in for Rs 4.40 lakh.
