Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI Punjab hooked up Murli Vijay who adds meat to the top order. George Bailey will control the troops at the battle field. Kings XI Punjab have an outstanding batting line up which is been lead by the trio of Virender Sehwag, Glenn Maxwell and David Miller who are tagged as nightmare for many bowlers as they can smash the ball out the boundary line at easiest possible way. Maxwell the power hitter will have tighten his boots to continue his form from where he left last year. He will have to prove his worth as a team member again smashing around the ground. They have superb and mind blowing players who can take away the game in some overs from the opponents. This team also haves a good bowling attack which is been led by Mitchell Johnson followed up by Axar Patel. Johnson is in great form as well. They are a very tough side as even fielding department looks fresh and energetic, the likes of Maxi and Mahan Vohra can accelerate the fielding camp. The Uncapped department in the Red and Silver side is brilliant too, Sandip Sharma, Rishi Dhawan and Mahan Vohra can alone catch the match their side.

Rajasthan Royals
The Rajasthan Franchise has not been up to the mark after their Title run for the First Edition of the Indian Premier League. This year they have a superb unit and had been led from the front by experienced Shane Watson. This team also has a 'Must look' batting line up blessed with the talents viz. Anjinkya Rahane, Shane Watson, Sanju Samson and Steve Smith. Smith has improved alot in last five months, maturing himself as a professional he will now be looking to assisting his team mates as he did for the Aussies. He is a technical kind of player who can cause the bowler indirect damage, pressing in doubles into the gaps and Letting the cheap balls behind the bars. The team performances is largely depend on Australian work load with Watson, Smith and Faulkner in the side. This team bowling department is been led by the Kiwi player Tim Southee followed up by Faulkner and Chris Moris too and spin department well handled up by the Young Pravin Tambe. They even have Sanju Smason who can handle it all not only at the crease but also behind the stumps. It will be a good fight for the place into the team if fielding of the personnel is concerned, Rahane and Smith have best hands at the Fielding Camp followed by the likes of Watson, Samson, Southee whose presence of mind can get much out of no opportunity.
Probable XI
Anjinkya Rahane
Shane Watson(C)
Sanju Samson(Wk)
Steve Smith
