League is about to commence from April 16 and would finalize on June 1. The IPL
7 comprises of 56 group matches and 4 playoffs including the final.
All the teams, except Delhi Daredevils, retained some of their existing
powerful players. Each of the franchises had 600 million INR as the starting
salary-cap. Three of the squads retained 5 players each and could only buy back
a single player with Right to match. On the other hand, as Delhi Daredevils

maximum bid. Karan Sharma was the costliest player among the uncapped

Chennai Super Kings
Team
MS Dhoni, Suresh
Raina, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Brendon
McCullum, Dwayne Smith, Ashish Nehra, Mohit Sharma, Samuel Badree, Ben
Hilfenhaus, Matt Henry, B Aparajith, Mithun Manhas, Ishwar Pandey, Pawan Negi,
Vijay Shankar, Ronit More, John Hastings.
- Review: Despite the recent controversy about the team and its management, Chennai Super Kings are once again the favourites to win the seventh edition of the Indian Premier League. As always they seem to be “THE” team to beat. Semi’s place for sure.
Delhi
Daredevils Team
M Vijay, Kevin Pietersen, Dinesh Karthik, JP Duminy, Manoj Tiwary,
Quinton de Kock, Mohammed Shami, Rahul Sharma, Saurabh Tiwary, Laxmi Ratan
Shukla, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Shahbaz Nadeem, Ross Taylor, Milind Kumar, Wayne
Parnell, HS Sharath, Jayant Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, James Neesham, Kedar Jadhav,
Mayank Agarwal, Rahul Shukla, Siddharth Kaul.
- Review: They have done it all, change in squad, new management with support staff. But to plan and execute are two different kinds. Fans will hope better performance in this season under new leader Kevin Pieterson.
Kings XI
Punjab Team
David Miller, Manan Vohra, Virender Sehwag, Mitchell Johnson, George Bailey,
Cheteshwar Pujara, Shaun Marsh, Wriddhaman Saha, Thisara Perera, Glenn Maxwell,
Rishi Dhawan, Anureet Singh, Sandeep Sharma, Akshar Patel, Beuran Hendricks,
Karanveer Singh, Murali Kartik, Shivam Sharma, Shardul Thakur, L Balaji,
Parvinder Awana, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Mandeep Singh.
- Review: Similar to the story of DD, but think-tank has done a good job in auction to build a team that certainly looks tough to beat atleast on paper but can they have to perform on-field to justify the selections. Under Bailey’s captaincy players like Shewag, Vohra, Maxwell, Balaji and Johnson can surely make the the difference. Probable semi-finalist (hope so).
Kolkata Knight
Riders Team
Gautam Gambhir, Sunil
Narine, Jacques Kallis, Robin Uthappa, Yusuf Pathan, Shakib Al Hasan, Umesh
Yadav, Vinay Kumar, Morne Morkel, Piyush Chawla, Manish Pandey, Veer Pratap
Singh, Chris Lynn, Andre Russell, SS Mandal, Pat Cummins, Debabrata Das,
Suryakumar Yadav, Manvinder Bisla, Ryan ten Doeschate, Kuldeep Yadav.
- Review: KKR is one team that is unpredictable in performance; they can beat the strongest team one day and get beaten by other who is not so strong. In IPL-7 they will look to turn the tables around like they did in 2012.
Mumbai Indians Team
Rohit Sharma,
Lasith Malinga, Kieron Pollard, Harbhajan Singh, Ambati Rayudu, Michael Hussey,
Zaheer Khan, Pragyan Ojha, Corey Anderson, Josh Hazlewood, CM Gautam, Aditya
Tare, Apoorv Wankhade, Marchant de Lange, Krishmar Santokie, Ben Dunk, Pawan
Suyal, Sushant Marathe, Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Gopal, Jalaj Saxena.
- Review: They are the defending champions. MI is one of those teams who had retained five of their players in auction. With the Sachin’s retirement the morale might get lose but the management have managed to buy some experience in the form of Michael Hussey at the top of the order. Possible place in semis.
Rajasthan Royals
Team
Shane Watson, Ajinkya Rahane, James Faulkner, Stuart Binny, Sanju
Samson, Brad Hodge, Steven Smith, Abhishek Nayar, Ben Cutting, Kane Richardson,
Tim Southee, Unmukt Chand, Ankush Bains, Vikramjeet Malik, Rahul Tewatia, Ankit
Sharma, Amit Mishra, Deepak Hooda, Rajat Bhatia, Kevon Cooper, Iqbal Abdulla,
Dhawal Kulkarni, Pravin Tambe, Karun Nair, Dishant Yagnik.
- Review: They have also retained five players and it’s clear from their team squad that the management have tried to build the team on all-rounders and with the addition of Amit Mishra in the mix their bowling surely seems good. Fight for Semis place with RCB.
Royal Challengers Bangalore Team
Virat Kohli, Chris
Gayle, AB de Villiers, Yuvraj Singh, Parthiv Patel, Albie Morkel, Mitchell
Starc, Ashok Dinda, Ravi Rampaul, Muttiah Muralitharan, Nic Maddinson, Varun Aaron,
Vijay, Sachin Rana, Yogesh Takawale, Abu Nechim Ahmed, Yuzvendra Chahal, Shadab
Jakati, Sandeep Warrier, Harshal Patel, Tanmay Mishra.
- Review: Kohli will be delighted to have players like Gayle, De Villers, Yuvraj and Murlitharan in the team who can beat the opponent single handedly on their day. But the problem arises when they play outside their home pitch were inexperience bowlers get expose and find it difficult to restrict or defend totals. Also its Yuvraj’s make or break season. It’s a tough competition for fourth and final spot against RR.
SunRisers Hyderabad
Team
Shikhar Dhawan,
Dale Steyn, David Warner, Darren Sammy, Amit Mishra, Aaron Finch, Irfan Pathan,
Ishant Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Brendan Taylor, Moises Henriques, Venugopala
Rao, Jason Holder, S Aniruddha, Manprit Juneja, KL Rahul, Amit Paunikar, Naman
Ojha, Ricky Bhui, Ashish Reddy, Chama Milind, Parveez Rasool, Prashanth
Parameshwaran, Karn Sharma.
- Review: It’s a team were all depends on the captain’s decision on the day. Right call from Dhawan and SRH will win otherwise it’s a downfall. They got all the ingredients opening batsmen, all-rounders, bowlers everything; it’s just that they need a good captain to handle in pressure situation.
Time to say see ya & readers keep reading and never say bye to me.
