Royals of Rayalaseema (ROR) will face Kakinada Kings (KOK) in Match No. 17 of the Andhra Premier League (APL) 2025 on Sunday, August 17 at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam.

Royals of Rayalaseema currently sit fifth in the points table with one win from four matches. They secured a comfortable victory over Tungabhadra Warriors in their previous game and will aim to carry that momentum forward to notch another win in the campaign.

Kakinada Kings, on the other hand, have had a difficult season so far, suffering their third defeat and remaining at the bottom of the points table. They also lost to Tungabhadra Warriors in a rain-affected match and will be looking to bounce back strongly in this encounter.

The Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium has proven to be a batter-friendly venue so far in the ongoing tournament. The margin for error is minimal, and bowlers have struggled to gain the upper hand. To succeed here, bowlers will need to be precise with both their planning and execution.

Shaik Rasheed (c), Manoj Kumar, Dhruva Kumar Reddy (wk), Pyla Avinash, Satya Sai Sathwik, Girinath Reddy, Maddila Harsha Vardhan, Jagarlapudi Ram, Siraparapu Ashish, Vinukonda Venu, Gundluri Reddy

Srikar Bharat (c & wk), Pitta Arjun Tendulkar, Pinninti Tapaswi, Manish Golamaru, Mopada Ravikiran, K P Sai Rahul, Mitta Lekhaz Reddy, Adivishnu Surya, SK Kamaruddin, Kodavandla Sudharsan, Adabala Lohith

The right-handed batter K P Sai Rahul could prove to be the key player in the clash. He has scored 155 runs in three innings so far at an average of 51.67. Known for his ability to score quickly, Rahul has the potential to take the team forward and steer them to victory in the upcoming fixture.

The right-arm pacer Jagarlapudi Ram could be the key bowler for Kakinada Kings. He has claimed six wickets in three innings at an average of 14.33 so far. His four-over spell will be crucial in controlling the opposition and can play a vital role in steering his team toward victory on Sunday.
