Delhi, Punjab, Mumbai Indians are better teams. The teams which would and is already surprising is Hydrabad DC. They are underdogs like Rajstan Royals were last time. Teams which are going to settle at the bottom would be Kolkata, Bangalore, Rajasthan, Chennai. The players are chucked and chopped by Mallya and Sharukh, so these camps are not going to do well. Rajstan Royal has done same with likes of Kaif and other few players.

think after 1 more week b coz all westindies players will go home and also england player. in that case decan will loose smith and edwads,and then at that time it will b difficult for them thr hope lies with gili and gibs,mumbai will loose bravo,dhawan is a waste in that order nayar shd come before.and rcb will suffer most as piterson will go back and then again the issue of captain will come and once gyle left kkr is meaningless. so the point is delhi having grt 4 specialist batsman in this format.dont think royals can do any better without tanvir and watson.mumbai though balance depends heavily upon sanath.chennai must continue with oram and dhoni look tired after these international cricket not look fresh.this is my point of view i may b wrong depends upon the performance of the players but the main point is from ipl we hope some fresh indian players but whr r they still only establish players of india or from foreign r performing wht abt indian so called young stars.according to me in this whole tournament watch out for gili yousuf,ab,sehwag,nayar,hyden from my point of view yousuf is a person with very cool head and can do some wonders for royals.

Punjab may still pull themselves into first four. They have strong batting, The only problem they have is bowling is not as settled. Cant help the feel that DC, DD, MI are the teams to come into final. You hardly find their owners meddling with them. The problem with Punjab is also similar, Preeti Zynta is too involved, and only guy from team is most motivated that is Yuvraj, rest of the brothers are starved for love.
