The stage is all set for the second season of the IPL, as Mumbai Indians take on Chennai Super Kings in Cape Town today.
The captain of the Chennai Super Kings, M S Dhoni has been successful in proving his potential by making India win at the inaugural World Twenty20 Championship in 2007.
Last year, in the first edition of the cash-rich league, Dhoni led his team, the Chennai Super Kings to the final.
With players like Matthew Hayden, Andrew Flintoff and all-rounder Albie Morkel bolstering the top order, Chennai are expected to come out strong this year.
To balance the team with an equivalent lower order, there are players like L. Balaji and M.S Gony, who are capable of bowling away the opposition.
On the other hand, Sachin Tendulkar's brigade is all set to reply back with Sanath Jayasuria, JP Duminy and Zaheer Khan.
With Sachin's experience and inspiration, Mumbai Indians can win against team Chennai and come out in splendid colours in the tournament.
Approaching milestones
- In the first edition of the IPL, six batsmen had recorded a hundred each - Sanath Jayasuriya, Adam Gilchrist, Michael Hussey, Shaun Marsh, Brendon McCullum and Andrew Symonds.
- Jayasuriya, with 88 boundaries (57 fours and 31 sixes) needs just 12 to become the first batsman to make a century of boundaries in the IPL.
