Bangalore Royal Challengers

This squad boasts of IPL’s most expensive catch, Kevin Pietersen, who has taken over the reins from Rahul Dravid this season. Both the batsmen are in pristine touch and would like to prove the critics wrong about blatantly terming the team as a ‘Test T20 squad’ despite the presence of big hitters like Mark Boucher, Robin Uthappa, Jaques Kallis and the likes.

On the bowling front, ‘Steyn’-gun leads the attack with Praveen Kumar, Cameron White and the wiliest war-horse of them all, Anil Kumble to provide the breakthroughs.

They started the IPL 2 with a bang, winning their first outing comprehensively and the psychological momentum will surely act as a catalyst for future wins. The infusion of Kiwi Jesse Ryder means that the overall fitness would get a ‘Royal’ boost with youngsters playing shoulder to shoulder with the veterans of the game.
