The Deccan Chargers, representing Hyderabad City, are owned by the media group Deccan Chronicle. Of all the teams in the league this team probably looks the best on paper (but that’s not saying much). The team has many players who can win a Twenty20 match single handedly.

The Delhi DareDevils will are my favorites to win the IPL. I think they have a very well balanced team, and more importantly, plenty of options to shuffle players around to match the opposition’s strengths and weaknesses.

These two can make a formidable opening pair in the IPL. Though Jayasuriya has already played 7 Twenty20 internationals and scored at an healthy [...]

The Vijay Mallya owned Bangalore Royal Challengers seem to have a good team, at least on paper. The Rahul Dravid led team looks to have a very well rounded side with several the 23 of the players in the team being batsman/part time bowlers.
