CB Society Don't Just Dream, Live it !!

My views on what i feel are the team's strength, weaknesses, and how long can they run into the tournament.

Strengths: Solid Indian Batsmen, heavily invested in them - Gambhir, Yusuf, Manish Pandey, Uthappa, Bisla. Some of the world's best All-rounders in Jacques Kallis ( ), Shakib, Yusuf and Ryan Tendo (who is a really handy guy to have). Aggressive captaincy from Gambhir was seen in the last season too and it's a plus for KKR that he has had more time to think about that and learn from experience. Gambhir is the man who can make this solid bunch rise to the top, and he has the potential to do that. Don't forget the mystery man Sunil Narine, and especially on the slow Eden Garden pitches he is a night mare... even for the best in the world 

Weakness: The Indian bowlers they have sem to be decent but expensive in their economy rates. In Vinay Kumar and Umesh Yadav they have good blokes, but both's economies tend to be on the higher side and Gambhir can get furious about that pretty quick. Assuming Narine and Kallis to bowl 4 overs each, the other bowlers including Yadav, Vinay, Chawla, Yusuf, Shakib, etc would have to share the 12 overs. 

My starting 11: 

Gautam Gambhir (c) 

Manvinder Bisla (wk)

Jacques Kallis

Robin Uthappa

Yusuf Pathan

Chris Lynn / Ryan Tendo 

Shakib al Hasan

Vinay Kumar

Piyush Chawla

Sunil Narine

Umesh Yadav

IPL Predicted finish: End up in the top 4
