Deccan Chargers:

The full responsibility for team to well will be on the captain and blasting batsman Adam Gilchrist. He has made nearly 500 Runs in last IPL season as well as showed hi skills as a captain. He has scored 931 runs in 30 matches played by him in IPL’s with strike rate of more than 145.00 with all this numbers he is leading scorer of the IPL. And for counter firing there are Hershel Gibbs and Rohit Sharma. Both of them had scored more than 350 runs individually. However they both are not in that touch right now but let’s hope that they will be back with bang.

Well Rohit Sharma has performed nicely as an all rounder last IPL season. Including the Hat Trick against Mumbai Indians he has 11 Wicket in his account. Along them the Giant Andrew Symonds is also predicted to be the trump card of the team Deccan Chargers. However he has been away from cricket ground from last few months but there is no doubt that he is one of the best cricketers around the world in T20 Cricket format. Along this the team has also got a new bowler “Bullet of Barbados” Came roach of West Indies. He is a great pacer of bowls as he throws out at over 150 Kph. When asked to him he said that he is so much excited about the new season of IPL’s . He said that he will bowl as fast as he can; even faster then what batsmen would ever thought. However team will mainly rely on its last purple cap winning bowler from India R.P. Singh.

Chennai Super Kings:

This team performed well in both the previous seasons of IPL under the captainship of M.S. Dhoni. This team reached the Finals in first IPL season where it loosed it with Rajasthan Royals where as in second season it was stopped in Semi Finals by Royal Challengers Bangalore Defeated them.

With this kind of performance team will hope to reach the Semis this time too. It will rely on its orange cap batsman of last season none other than Matthew Hayden. He may show his enormous power as he is out from International cricket. Captain M.S. Dhoni himself is in nice form and Youngster Suresh Raina will Bat out at number 4. But with the return of Australian cricketer Michael Hussey this team seems to be more compact and well strengthen.

All rounder’s like Jacob Oram, Albey Morkel and Justin Camp are there too for more power. Away from this bowling department will be controlled by Sri Lankan Spinner Muttiah Murli Dharan and Fast Department will be headed by Shadab Jakati who shown the magic of his bowls last season. Sudeep Tyagi, Manpreet Goni and Lakshmi Pati Bala Ji is there in order to provide strength to Bowling section. This team is supposed to be most balanced and strong team amongst all and this may be the reason why this team is assumed to have a Brand Value of rupees 224 Crores.

Mumbai Indians:

The team which really disappointed most during the first two seasons is that firstly, Sachin captained team Mumbai Indian’s. The team was positioned 5^th and 7^th during the first and second seasons of League. So this team has much pressure over it to improve its performance.

The team strength is its opening pair, as Sachin and Sanath Jayasurya blazing the bowlers around. They can bang any bowler from anywhere around the world with same intense capability. The way Sachin is playing from last few month he is looking like boon to the team. With this team is having J.P. Duminy who scored 5 half century in 12 matches in last season. However he will be tested this time on the turning wickets of India. Also he seems to be all ready for tests. The team is having young players Robin Utthapa, Abhishek Nair, Sikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane.

The management of team also not looking in any mood of doing any kind of poor experiments this time. The Team tied Caron Polard with a record amount. 22 year old Polard is only one player who is having agreement to play T20’s in all the four continents. This team is having most Experienced Indian Bowlers like Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh in Bowling Department. There are Lasith Malinga and Dilhara Fernando also to support both of them. Well this team looks strong enough to win on the papers but looking to its previous ground records; there is not much trust around in Audience for this team.

Delhi Dare Devils:

This team under the captainship of Gautam Gambir, the team will try to make its performance better and forget all that happened in past. This team played well and reached up to semi finals in both the seasons but can’t go further. But one interesting thing to be noticed is that the team which defeated Delhi Daredevils in Semis won the Championships in both the Seasons. The performance of this team till now has been trustable.

The key of Batting will be in the hands of the worlds most dangerous opening pair Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag. Both of them are in good touch right now. A.B. De’ Villiers who made two centuries in three match series recently against India can also play blasting Innings but David Warner will be the center of attraction this time , who used to play switch hits shots along with orthodox cricketing shots. And in between them the dangerous batsmen Tilak Ratne Dilshan is also joining the party of Run feast..

Where as the bowling department will be boosted by experienced Ashish Nehra who will be supported by hero of last season Durk Nannes of England. This time South African fast bowler is also joining the team. Along with them, all rounder Henriques is also there; however his performance while playing for Knight Riders was not up to the mark. But instead he is considered as rising star in T-Twenty Cricket format.

Kolkata Knight Riders:

The most famous team of IPL is Kolkata knight riders but the reason behind it being famous is not its performance instead it is it’s promoter Shahrukh khan .The team even don’t lack star cricketers. But the team has shown average performance in last two seasons. After the failure of team in season -2, the team management has changed the coach & captain . The captaincy is once again transferred to Sourav Ganguly . Along with coach Whatmore , Wasim Akaram has been tied up to give advice to players. But what all they coached the player will come in knowledge after the battle begin.

The recent century striker in T20 format Brandann McCullam and man to hit first century in T20 cricket format Chris Gayle will be opening the Batting line up. Even one of them gets in form then they have full capability to change the direction of match but Kolkata Knight Riders will hope that both of them should play. Along with them captain Saurav Ganguly and Rohan Gavaskar are there in middle order.

The bowling department will be on the shoulders of Ishant Sharma ands Shane Bond. Shane Bond will not be available in beginning matches but as soon as he joins the team it will add to their strength. Ajit Agarkar, Ashok Dinda and Lakshmi Ratan Shukla are also there to boost bowling strength. Along them there is magical presence of Sri Lankan Spinner Ajantha Mendis.

Rajasthan Royals:

The winner of first IPL season but didn’t came up with same energy in second season as they stood 6^th as whole. This time they will try to perform better. Of course Shane Warne is clever and thinking Captain. It was his captaincy only which made this team unexpectedly champion in first IPL season.

The South African batsman and captain Graeme Smith will be the key batsman his English partner Michael Lumb. However most of the batting has to be supported by two all rounders Yousuf Pathan and Dimitri Mascarenus. They both can do all around things turning the fate of game.

Bowling department will be controlled by Shane Warne while the pace department will be headed by Shaun Tate and Mourny Morkel. Shaune Tait is fresher from Australia. But team will surely miss its two fantastic players Ravindra Jadeja and Shane Wattson. The thing to observe Is that how the team manages themselves out without them.

Kings XI Punjab:

It is one of the strongest team but the problem is that; they do not perform up to the mark on the eves of important matches. This is the reason that is why known for more of its promoter Priety Zinta and not for their cricketing performance.

This time it is headed by Kumar Sangakara. The team mainly depend upon batsman like Kumar Sangakara, Mahela Jayawardhane and Yuvraj Singh. The team has got a high experience with all of them. They can destroy any bowling attack with their Bats on. Australian Batsman Shaune Marsh is an interesting player to watch playing T20.

Young all rounder’s James Hopes and Irfan Pathan will get into the act and will boost the power of Team. Bowling department of team will be in Hands of Trio Brett Lee, S. Shrisanth and Yusuf Abdullah.

Royal Challengers Bangalore:

Last years semi finalist’s Royal Challengers Bangalore is said to be one of the consistently performers in this game. Headed by Anil Kumble this team had learnt a lot from previous season. They perform very brutally hitting bowlers of opposition all around.

Jacqe Kallis, Robin Utthapa and Manish Pandey are the batsman who can change it all and take the match away from any opposition. This team is owned by Liquor King Vijaya Malya. However he got himself down with monetary loses instead he is optimistic with his team this time around.
