sure… i’ve a good guess… Chennai superkings… mumbai indians and the daredevils look pretty strong too… and we all know wat the royals can do… but i still think it’s the Superkings who are gonna do it this time
HI FRIEND NICE TO SEE YOUR DATAS…BUT KYLE MILLS IS NOT IN KINGS XI PUNJAB BUT IN MUMBAI INDIANS…
this time winner time is royal challengers
this time winner time is always n always……………………………………..
This time the winner is Kolkata Knightriders. You forgot to mention Mortaza’s name in the list!
Deccan chargers are not weak.
Their batting is very strong
1-Gilly
2-VVS(sheath anchor)
3-Gibbs/D.B.RaviTeja
4-A.Symonds
5-R.Sharma
6-Y.Venugopal Rao(best perfomer at no6)
7-D.B.RaviTeja/T.S.Suman
8-Ryan Harris
9-Fidel Edwards/Vijaykumar
10-RP Singh
11-P.Ohja
@ABHIJITH: Kyle Mills details corrected.
@DC: On paper the team looks good. However most of them are currently out of form.
Royal Challengers bowling side is not weak at all… Bracken will always keep the runs down, Steyn will rip through any batting order in the world and Kallis is always very solid.
The winners are definitely going to be Kolkata Knight Riders as they have a very good blend of players.
Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum – I think the best opening duo and if they fire 250 is achievable
Dada, Dave Hussey, Moises Henriques(Hard Hitter) and the likes of Shukla and Saha make up a fantastic middle order
Ishant Sharma, Masrafe Morataza and the local boy Ashoke Dinda(Star Performer in Domestics) share a decent bowling line.
All Rounders- Gayle, Dada, Hussey, Henriques, Mortaza and Agarkar
I think knight riders.Team is well balanced.Mclam in good form(recent India-NZ series),Gayle in whole tournament,Ishant and Mendis are also in good form……….Afterall DADA……You all know…….
