IPL Teams
-
12-04-2008 4:09pmDelhi Daredevils
Owner: GMR Holdings
An infrastructure big gun with their headquarters in Bangalore, dabbling in airports, energy, highways, education and evidently a bit of cricket too.
Coach: Greg Shipperd
A former Aussie first-class cricketer who coaches the Victoria Bushrangers when he isn't earning a pretty penny in the IPL. Renowned for his tactical thinking and connection with the players.
Captain: Virender Sehwag
Test cricket's most recent triple-centurion on a resurgent path since curbing his aggression at the start of his knocks. Fast developing as a more than effective off-spinner.
Squad
Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Manoj Tiwary, Mohammad Asif, Daniel Vettori, Dinesh Karthik, Shoaib Malik, Glenn McGrath, AB de Villiers, Tillekeratne Dilshan, Farveez Maharoof, Rajat Bhatia, Shikhar Dhawan, Brett Geeves, Yo Mahesh, Mithun Manhas, Pradeep Sangwan, Mayank Tehlan.
Rajasthan Royals
Owner: Emerging Media
A media-property development industry focused on developing programmes in India. Along with a successful business relationship with Cricket Star (interactive, multimedia talent hunt for the world's best young cricketer) and their interests in the IPL, an exciting partnership between Liverpool Football Club and the All-India Football Federation is on the cards.
Captain And Coach: Shane Warne
The man who once said coaches are only needed to take the team from the hotel to the ground is now one himself. With his 'goose' and 'verbal diarrhoea' comments about John Buchanan fresh in their memories, you can be sure fans of the former Aussie coach will be looking to get their own back the minute the portly leg-spinner is under duress in the IPL. As a skipper, his wealth of leadership experience with Hampshire and occasional stopgap stint at the helm of the Australian team will stand the tournament's only non-Indian captain in good stead.
Squad
Shane Warne, Aditya Angle, Swapnil Asnodkar, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Kaif, Kamran Akmal, Sumit Khatri, Taruwar Kohli, Justin Langer, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Parag More, Morne Morkel, Pankaj Singh, Munaf Patel, Niraj Patel, Yusuf Pathan, Mahesh Rawat, Anup Revandkar, Dinesh Salunke, Jaydev Shah, Graeme Smith, Sohail Tanvir, Siddharth Trivedi, Shane Watson, Younis Khan.
Mumbai Indians
Owner: Reliance Industries Limited
Founded by the late legendary Indian industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani, RIL are one of the nation's Fortune 500 companies with a penchant for making billions from oil-related operations and the occasional retail store.
Coach: Lalchand Rajput
As team manager, Rajput was part of the Indian think tank that triumphed in the inaugural World Twenty20 in September 2007. Having recently vacated his post with the national team, he is now looking to carry that success into the IPL.
Captain: Sachin Tendulkar
Holder of limited overs cricket records by the busload, the former India skipper gets to try his hand at the helm again.
Squad
Sachin Tendulkar, Loots Bosman, Ankeet Chavan, Siddharth Chitnis, Gaurav Dhiman, Dilhara Fernando, Harbhajan Singh, Sanath Jayasuriya, Musavir Khote, Dhawal Kulkarni, Lasith Malinga Abhishek Nayar, Ashish Nehra, Manish Pandey, Rajesh Pawar, Shaun Pollock, Ashwell Prince, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohan Raje, Luke Ronchi, Pinal Shah, Swapnil Singh, Yogesh Vijay Takawale, Dominic Thornely, Saurabh Tiwary, Robin Uthappa, Vikrant Yeligati.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Owner: Shah Rukh Khan
Bollywood and cricket are two of India's big pastimes, so what better way to make the fans sit up and take notice than by blending the two together through Shah Rukh Khan (known as the King of Bollywood) and the IPL?
Coach: John Buchanan
Coached Australia's all-conquering team from 1999-2007, a period during which they won two World Cups and a record 16 consecutive Test matches. 'nuff said.
Captain: Sourav Ganguly
Having made a successful comeback to the Test team after a spell out in the cold, the IPL will now give the former Indian skipper an opportunity to prove that he is far from finished with the shorter versions of the game.
Squad
Ishant Sharma, Murali Kartik, Ajit Agarkar, Chris Gayle, Ricky Ponting, David Hussey, Brendon McCullum, Mohammad Hafeez, Salman Butt, Umar Gul, Tatenda Taibu, Laxmi Shukla, Saurasish Lahiri, Siddarth Kaul, Iqbal Abdulla, Wriddhiman Prasanta Saha, Rohan Banerjee, Yashpal Singh, Aakash Chopra, Debabrata Das, Cheteshwar Pujara.
More to come, alot of the websites have incorrect teams, these are the only teams i could find with accurate squads.
Im really looking forward to it, im not the biggest fan of 20/20, but with all these stars out theres bound to be some cracking games.0

think i'll follow the Dehli Daredevils, mainly cause they have a cracking name, but they also have some top quality talent in Sehwag, Asif, Vettori, Mc Grath and de Villiers. They have a cracking shirt though, which im trying to track down online but im not really having any luck
can't wait for it0 -
