The Deccan Chargers team is perhaps the strongest team in the Indian Premier
League if individual talent is considered. The team however hasn't been able
to perform to the expectations of the fans and sections of the media. The team
from Hyderabad has managed to win just one match out of the total 4 matches
that it has played so far, a record that is not expected of a team that contains
players of the caliber of Andrew Symonds and Adam Gilchrist. The team contains
some of the world's very best players. The batting department of the team comprises
of various talented players including VVS Laxman, Herschelle Gibbs, Adam Gilchrist,
Shahid Afridi, Rohit Sharma, Scott Styris, and Andrew Symonds. This batting
line up is strong enough to challenge any team in the world but has failed to
deliver. Amongst the bowlers, the major iconic players who have dominated are
Chaminda Vaas, Nuwan Zoysa, Pragyan Ojha, Andrew Symonds, and RP Singh.
The Kings XI Punjab team on the other hand has been in good form off late in
the first edition of the Indian Premier League. The team has played a total
of 4 matches in the IPL so far and has managed to win 2 matches. The team has
been plagued with controversies off late. The recent incident involving Kings
XI Punjab pace man Sree Santh has been blown out of proportion. The cricketer
was slapped on the face after he repeatedly provoked all members of the Mumbai
Indians team. The owners of the team have also been under fire from sections
of the media thus adding to the mental pressure on the team. Various players
including captain Yuvraj Singh, Mahela Jayawardene, Piyush Chawla, James Hopes,
Simon Katich, Brett Lee, Irfan Pathan, Sreesanth, and Kumara Sangakkara have
all been in great touch and are expected to fire in this match as well.
