Kolkata Knight Riders
May 17th
About Kolkata Knight Riders
The squad in the company of the biggest blockbuster movie star as its holder, lived upto his icon last year. They began on a hit, but could not maintain any more period, they merely frittered away it all to resist in the last phase of DLF-IPL1. Of all the teams, they flattered to mislead. But now comes the big chance to set the record straight. But even before a ball is bowled the Knight Riders have a crisis. Coach John Buchanan wants four-man captaincy team and wants it to be rotated forcing the iconic Sourav Ganguly to brood. Will this feud eat up Knight Riders? Wait and watch
Captain-Coach combination: India’s most booming captain with a eccentric image on and off the field combines with one of cricket’s most thriving coaches for the most unlikely combo.
Last year’s record: Played 14, Won: 6, Lost: 7, N/R: 1
STRENGTHS: Explosive batting ability at the top of the order with players like Brendon McCullum and Chris Gayle set to open. In-form McCullum’s availability for the whole season will be a enormous bonus. The inscrutability spin of Ajantha Mendis will help the Knight Riders get some cheap wickets, specially when the slog is on.
WEAKNESSES: Not too much seam bowling depth apart from Mashrafe Mortaza and Ishant Sharma. The lack of Pakistan players Umar Gul and Shoaib Akhtar might hurt the team poorly. One also has to search long and hard for the presence of a quality all-rounder as Laxmi Ratan Shukla doesn’t quite fit the bill as a bowler. Ganguly, it seems will need to roll his arm over in every game.
OPPORTUNITIES: For Sourav Ganguly to show that he is as a team man after being removed as captain. For John Buchanan to prove that his multiple-captain theory works.
THREATS: The Buchanan-Ganguly spat might do to KKR what the Chappell-Ganguly fall out did to the Indian team. A disinterested and dispassionate Ganguly might be poisonous for team spirit. Buchanan might not rate him too high, but he is father figure to many Indian youngsters in the Knight Riders camp. A fractured team is a real possibility.
Owners: Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla (Bollywood stars)
Coach: John Buchanan (AUS)
Captain: Brendan McCullum
Foreign players: Ajantha Mendis (SRI), Angelo Mathews (SRI), Brad Hodge (AUS), Brendan McCullum (NZL), Chris Gayle (WIS), David Hussey (AUS), Mark Cameron (AUS), Mashrafe Mortaza (BAN), Moises Henriques (AUS).
India stars: Sourav Ganguly, Aakash Chopra, Ishant Sharma, Murali Kartik, Sanjay Bangar
Mumbai Indians
May 17th
About Mumbai Indians
It was a low-key team with most injuries and controversies in DLF-IPL1. But at the present the team looks complete, the skipper’s back with a new staff and some key replenishments. The power of the side still lies in the top-order, but a few fresh strikers, plus Sri Lanka’s fit slinger Lasith Malinga could give the best hope for Mumbai Indians in DLF-IPL2.
Captain-coach combination: When Sachin Tendulkar is the captain, he is incredibly charge. So the role of Shaun Pollock has been re-defined a bit. He becomes the leader mentor and along with fielding coach Jonty Rhodes expects him to twist things around for Mumbai Indians. If Tendulkar needs more help about South African circumstances, then he has a earlier pro in those parts, Praveen Amre to look after the nitty grit-ties.
Star player: Sachin Tendulkar.
Last year’s record: Played 14, Won 7, Lost 7
STRENGTHS: The batting. Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya form a terrifying blend at the top of the order. They also have youthful South African sensation JP Duminy and Shikhar Dhawan (swapped with Ashish Nehra from Team) to follow. Dwayne Bravo, Graham Napier and Ryan McClaren give fine all-round options.
WEAKNESSES: The seam bowling. With Shaun Pollock gone, the responsibility is totally on Zaheer Khan to do the dual role of containing and attacking. Dilhara Fernando is known to bowl plenty of no balls and Lasith Malinga is just recurring from a long injury lay-off. Kyle Mills is also known to leak runs. Harbhajan Singh (probably in the best bowling form of his life) will sense the pressure.
OPPORTUNITIES: For some of the younger stars in the MI team to impress. They will also be keen to not have the kind of start they had last year (losses in the first four games before winning seven on a trot). The youngsters will also benefit from tips of mentor Shaun Pollock and fielding coach Jonty Rhodes.
THREATS: Ego hassles between coaches Jonty Rhodes, Shaun Pollock and Pravin Amre affecting the team harmony.

Deccan Chargers
May 16th
About Deccan Chargers
The team with the most excellent mixture of big-hitters came a cropper in the first version of DLF-IPL. The team had the stars but did not have the bowling to back it up. Lastly the skipper VVS Laxman dropped out due to an injury and the team struggled with no direction. There was no direction, but the period ended with a hope for the Chargers. They have now brought in a new captain in Adam Gilchrist, tainted the backroom staff with new coach Darren Lehmann. But the lack of firepower in the bowling is what hurts them most, specially when it comes to pitches in South Africa. Can Gilly manipulate a turnaround or will normal service be restored for the Deccan Chargers?
Captain-coach combination: Darren Lehmann is a first-time coach and will team up with new captain Adam Gilchrist.So it is starting all over again for Deccan Chargers, so it might be a long haul for the duo.
Last year’s record: Matches: 14, Won: 2, Lost: 12
STRENGTHS: Dream batting line-up. Herschelle Gibbs, Adam Gilchrist, Andrew Symonds, Rohit Sharma are names to give any bowling line-up shivers. D Ravi Reja will be the local talent to watch out for as he can be really explosive. Scott Styris will provide the all-rounder’s option.
WEAKNESSES: A wafer-thin bowling attack with the exception of RP Singh. Even if their dazzling batting line-up rattles off tall scores, defending targets will be a real problem, as they realised last year. There’s also too much of a sameness to the attack with three leftarm-seamers — RP Singh, Nuwan Zoysa and Chaminda Vaas — in the team.
OPPORTUNITIES: To show the world that a team brilliant on paper can strut their stuff on the field too. Fidel Edwards’ inclusion in the squad will inject some pace and penetration into the bowling. Chance for Andrew Symonds and Herschelle Gibbs to prove they are rehabilitated cricketers and justify their massive pay cheques.
THREATS: Lots of changes and bickering has happened as Adam Gilchrist replaced VVS Laxman as captain after Shahid Afridi’s public outburst against the Indian last year. Rohit Sharma, the best batsman, hasn’t been in good form lately. If they get off to a poor start this year too, they are a good bet to earn the wooden spoon again or finish in the bottom three.
Owners: Deccan Chronicle

Coach: Darren Lehmann (AUS)
Captain: Adam Gilchrist (AUS)
Foreign players: Adam Gilchrist (AUS), Andrew Symonds (AUS), C Silva (SRI), C Vaas (SRI), Dwayne Smith (WIS), Fidel Edwards (WIS), Herschelle Gibbs (RSA), Nuwan Zoysa (SRI), Ryan Harris (AUS), Scott Styris (NZL).
India stars: Rohit Sharma, RP Singh. Note: To ensure the IPL remains an Indian domestic event, a team is allowed only four foreign players per match. Two of the remaining seven players must be U-22 players.
