Deccan Chargers
Deccan Chargers
The team with the best combination of big-hitters came a cropper in the first edition of DLF-IPL. The team had the stars but did not have the bowling to back it up. Finally the skipper VVS Laxman dropped out due to an injury and the team struggled without any direction. There was no direction, but the season ended with a hope for the Chargers. They have now brought in a new captain in Adam Gilchrist, changed the backroom staff with new coach Darren Lehmann. But the lack of firepower in the bowling is what hurts them most, especially when it comes to pitches in South Africa. Can Gilly influence a turnaround or will normal service be restored for the Deccan Chargers?
Captain-coach combination: Darren Lehmann is a first-time coach and will team up with new captain Adam Gilchrist.So it is starting all over again for Deccan Chargers, so it might be a long haul for the duo.
Last year's record: Matches: 14, Won: 2, Lost: 12
Players:
* Adam Gilchrist * Abhinav Kumar * Andrew Symonds * Azhar Bilakhia * Arjun Yadav
* Chamara Silva * Chaminda Vaas * Doddapaneni Kalyankrishna * Dwaraka Ravi Teja
* Dwayne Smith * Fidel Edwards * Halhadar Das * Herschelle Gibbs * Jas Karandeep Singh * Harmeet Singh * Manvinder Bisla * Nuwan Zoysa * Paidikalva Vijay Kumar
* Pragyan Ojha * Rohit Sharma * Rudra Pratap Singh * Ryan Harris * Sarvesh Kumar
* Scott Styris * Shoaib Ahmed * Tirumalasetti Suman * Venugopal Rao
* V.V.S Laxman

Delhi Daredevils
Delhi Daredevils
Dangerous side with plenty of flair, that's what Delhi Daredevils is all about. A steady bowling attack backed up by deadly strikers at the top, makes it a team to look out for. Coupled with the experience of Glenn McGrath and Daniel Vettori, you have a heady cocktail. But their exuberance could prove to be their downfall like last season. Watch out for the Sehwag-Gambhir jugalbandi followed by some daredevilry from David Warner
Goa Acquisition: Paul Collingwood and Owais Shah form the heart of England's T20 squads. They can change their game according to formats and so expect them to come to the party this time. Collingwood's medium pacers will give an added bow to the Durham man, because Shah may struggle to feature in the first XI.
Captain-coach combination: Virender Sehwag can be imaginative as skipper, has a shrewd cricketing brain. This clear-headed cricketer almost led his side all the way to the crown last season. Unfortunately, the team misfired at the big stage. The coach Kepler Wessels is from the South Africa stable of unlikely men behind the scenes. Kepler can be innovative and come up with unlikely ideas to throw rivals off-guard.
Players:
* Virender Sehwag * Aavishkar Salvi * AB de Villiers * Amit Mishra * Andrew McDonald
* Ashish Nehra * Daniel Vettori * David Warner * Dinesh Karthik * Dirk Nannes
* Farveez Maharoof * Gautam Gambhir * Glenn McGrath * Manoj Tiwary
* Mithun Manhas * Owais Shah * Paul Collingwood * Pradeep Sangwan
* Rajat Bhatia * Tejashwi Yadav * Tillakaratne Dilshan * Umesh Yadav
* Yo Mahesh * Yogesh Nagar
Head Coach:
Greg Shipperd

Kolkata Knight Riders
Kolkata Knight Riders
The team with the biggest blockbuster movie star as its owner, lived upto his image last year. They began on a bang, but could not sustain any further period, they simply frittered away it all to struggle in the last phase of DLF-IPL1. Of all the teams, they flattered to deceive. But now comes the big opportunity to set the record straight. But even before a ball is bowled the Knight Riders have a problem. Coach John Buchanan wants four-man captaincy team and wants it to be rotated forcing the iconic Sourav Ganguly to sulk. Will this feud eat up Knight Riders? Wait and watch
Captain-Coach combination: India's most successful captain with a maverick image on and off the field combines with one of cricket's most successful coaches for the most unlikely combo.

Players:

Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI Punjab
Skipper Yuvraj Singh leads a bunch of experienced and exciting cricketers yet again. The bowling has depth, the batting has the strike power, but there was something missing last season. It was the ability to deliver the knock-out punch. As a team, King's XI Punjab would hope that they can better their performance last season. They have the right ingredients this time, only now the stakes are much higher.
Captain-coach combination: Coach Tom Moody hopped over to Auckland to meet with his skipper Yuvraj Singh. The duo have gelled well as a combination. The much in demand coach with the young combative man in charge make a fine pair. Moody can handle the team because most are his former charges or former teammates. Yuvraj provides the effervescent leadership.
Goa acquisition: Ravi Bopara can be a useful bits and pieces player. He was snared basically because of his Sikh roots, but even now in South Africa can come in handy. A useful medium-pacer and a striker to boot, Bopara can be an ideal player for South African conditions. Okay, but do not rule out Jerome Taylor too to enjoy the conditions in the absence of Brett Lee and Sreesanth.
Last year's record: Semifinalist, Played: 14, Won: 10, Lost: 4
Players:
* Yuvraj Singh * Ajitesh Argal * Amanpreet Singh * Brett Lee * Burt Cockley
* Irfan Pathan * James Hopes * Karan Goel * Kumar Sangakkara * Luke Pomersbach
* Mahela Jayawardene * Piyush Chawla * Ramesh Powar * Ranadeb Bose
* S Sreesanth * Ravi Bopara * Ravikant shukla * Ryan Ninan * Sahil Kukreja
* Shaun Marsh * Simon Katich * Sunny Sohal * Tanmay Srivastava
* Taruwar Kohli * Uday Kaul * Vikramjeet Malik * VRV Singh * Wilkin Mota
* Yusuf Abdullah

Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians
It was a low-key team with most injuries and controversies in DLF-IPL1. But now the team looks settled, the skipper's back with a new staff and some key replenishments. The strength of the side still lies in the top-order, but a few new strikers, plus Sri Lanka's fit slinger Lasith Malinga could provide the best hope for Mumbai Indians in DLF-IPL2.
Captain-coach combination: When Sachin Tendulkar is the captain, he is very much in charge. So the role of Shaun Pollock has been re-defined a bit. He becomes the chief mentor and alongwith fielding coach Jonty Rhodes expect him to turn things around for Mumbai Indians. If Tendulkar needs more help about South African conditions, then he has a former pro in those parts, Praveen Amre to look after the nitty grit-ties.
Star player: Sachin Tendulkar.
Last year's record: Played 14, Won 7, Lost 7
Players:
* Sachin Tendulkar * Abhishek Nayar * Ajinkya Rahane * Chetanya Nanda
* Dhawal Kulkarni * Dilhara Fernando * Dwayne Bravo * Graham Napier
* Harbhajan Singh * Jaydev Shah * Jean Paul Duminy * Kyle Mills
* Lasith Malinga * Luke Ronchi * Mohammad Ashraful * Pinal Shah
* Rahil Shaikh * Rohan Raje * Ryan McLaren * Sanath Jayasuirya

Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals
Last season even before a ball was bowled this side was written off as a bunch of no-hopers. But how the tables were turned was seen by the whole world. This time key all-rounder Shane Watson is unlikely with an injury and some of the other performers like Sohail Tanveer are out of the frame. But expect Shane Warne to come up with a new plan to surprise his rivals.
Latest Acquisition: One of the high-profile buys for Rajasthan Royals is the thunderbolt paceman Shaun Tait. The young express bowler is fighting self-doubts and exile to come back on the big stage. Warne's backing could well prove to be decisive X factor this time.
Captain-coach combination: Well the boss of this team is one and only Shane Warne. The spin magician casts a spell around his team and manages to eke out the best out of everybody. Last year he singlehandedly inspired his side to the title. His little-known players managed to raise their performance level and take it to a new high. In the background his old friend, Darren Berry does all the research on the rivals, while Warne plots the moves.
Last year's results: Played: 14, Won: 11, Lost: 3. Champions
Fitness barometer: The presence of a plethora of young Indian cricketers presents a whole new version of the country. These bunch of youngsters are talented, athletic and above all keen to follow their captain.
Players:
* Shane Warne * Abhishek Raut * Ahad Malek * Amit Singh * Anup Revandkar
* Ashraf Makda * Atul Sharma * Dimitri Mascarenhas * Dinesh Salunke
* Gajendra Singh * Graeme Smith * Lee Carseldine * Mahesh Rawat * Mohammad Arif
* Mohammad Kaif * Morne Morkel * Munaf Patel * Naman Ojha * Niraj Patel
* Paras Dogra * Paul Valthaty * Pratmesh Salunke * Pushkaraj Chavan
* Raiphi Gomez * Ravindra Jadeja * Robert Quiney * Shane Harwood * Shane Watson
* Shaun Tait * Siddharth Chitnis * Siddharth Trivedi * Srideep Mangela

Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore
DLF-IPL1 was all about this team being called a Test line-up. The world's best batsmen albeit in the longer format got together to form the core. But unfortunately the team crashed out resulting in a few heads rolling. A new brand new back-up team coupled with a new administration. Will the arrival of KP, Ryder and Robin Uthappa help Royal Challengers Bangalore, turn a new page? Will the Royal Challengers Bangalore undergo a image makeover? Answers just days away...
Latest acquisition: England's most colourful cricketer, Kevin Pietersen, was always going to be the star attraction at DLF-IPL2. So even if it meant pitching in the highest bid, Vijay Mallya was prepared for it. So in came KP as also another rising star from New Zealand, Jesse Ryder.
What you need to know about Bangalore: Bangalore's most priced possessions are its gardens. The former princely state of Mysore is the pride of the state, but it provides the old royal touch to the state of Karnataka and in particular to Bangalore. Bangalore has produced some of the greatest Indian cricketers like GR Viswanath, BS Chandrashekar, EAS Prasanna, Anil Kumble, Javagal Srinath and Rahul Dravid.
Fitness barometer: With the infusion of the likes of KP, Ryder and even Robin Uthappa the fitness levels are bound to shoot up. Coach Ray Jennings is known to be a hard taskmaster when it comes to fitness, so expect some tough talking from the former wicket-keeper.
Players:
* Kevin Pietersen * Anil Kumble * Balachandra Akhil * Cameron White * Dale Steyn
* Dillon du Preez * Jacques Kallis * Jesse Ryder * K. P Appanna * Manish Pandey
* Mark Boucher * Nathan Bracken * Pankaj Singh * Praveen Kumar * Rahul Dravid
* Robin Uthappa * Ross Taylor * Sreevats Goswami * Vinay Kumar * Virat Kohli
* Wasim Jaffer * RE van der Merwe
