The new-look Shivamogga Yodhas take on the Mysuru Warriors in Match 2 of the 2026 Maharaja Trophy KSCA T20 at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore on Saturday, June 20.
The Yodhas are coming into this season with new colours and hopefully newer fortunes. They finished at the bottom of the table in the 2025 season, managing just three points from 10 games. They are boosted by a solid young domestic core, which includes players like Smaran Ravichandran, Luvnith Sisodia and Dhanush Gowda.
The Warriors also missed out on qualification in the 2025 season, finishing fifth with six points from 10 games. They will be backing their top-level stars Devdutt Padikkal and Vijaykumar Vyshak, along with experienced domestic names like LR Chetan and Manoj Bhandage.
