Team in Review - Bangalore Royal Challengers

Captain - Rahul Sharad Dravid

CEO - Charu Sharma

Chief Cricketing Officer - Martin David Crowe

Colors - Red and Yellow

Den - M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore

+es...
Probably, the best bowling attack at show in the tournament with Kumble, Steyn, Zaheer and Bracken in the ranks..
Some very good all rounders in Cameron White, Virat Kohli and Praveen Kumar and not to forget the mystifying class of Kallis and Boucher..
The team with most no non sense sort of guys have batters in the line up capable of handling all varieties of conditions,
so seem likely to be the best touring team..

-es...
In high scoring matches, the team could really miss an all out go bang bang sort of player..
If the South African players are unavailable for the first week of the season, as may be the case due to coinciding of South African Pro 20 tournament, this team will be hurt the worst..
Fielding has a question mark, considering that, majority of the members are in their 30s..

Why follow them...
The team name describes them.. The players are truly royal in terms of their records and have the ability to over haul all challenges..

Look out for...
Shivnarine Chanderpaul - Much like Dravid, he has been a seriously under rated cricketer..
Praveen Kumar - His presence could prove to be the real balancing act for the team..

Probable Starters...
Shivnarine Chanderpaul/ Misbah-ul-Haq
Wasim Jaffer
Rahul Dravid
Jacques Kallis
Virat Kohli
Mark Boucher
Praveen Kumar
Sunil Joshi
Anil Kumble
Zaheer Khan
Dale Steyn/Nathan Bracken
