The Kings XI Punjab team especially is expected to display some fine performances.
The team is being captained by the twenty 20 specialist Yuvraj Singh. Yuvraj

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Mike Hussey of Australia
are expected to perform. Besides them, the batting prospects of the team were
boosted to a great extent by the addition of the great Australian batsman Matthew
Hayden. Hayden who is known for his aggressive cricketing and batting style
