Champions League T20 is here!


As South Africa gears up for one of the most awaited tournaments of the year, The Champions League, this preview will provide you with a comprehensive view of the tournament in a bird's eye view with all the details and and huge loads of spicy information for you!

To all the Indian fans out there, there is lots of cricket coming up in the next few days as the top 4 IPL teams fight it out with the other league teams in the championship. Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils are the four team which made the cup.

World T20 saw some tough competitions by players from all over world. Now all these players will have to gel together, develop the bond and play as a team in the next month.

Australians are found in plenty this tournament and Sydney Sixers boasts players like Watson, Nathan McCullum, Mitchel Starc who will all be arriving after their stints at the IPL.

Sailkot Stallions is another team which made the cut in this edition. The Pakistanis are making it and making it big this year. Having made the Semis of this year's World T20, the Pakistanis are in the top of their game and many new faces have emerged and emerged with a purpose. The team will give their best as they have nothing to lose.

Trinidad and Tobago is another team which, on getting the combination right, will fire and fire big this tournament. Ravi Rampaul, Denesh Ramdin, Samuel Badree will arrive at Jo'Burg after their scintillating performance at the World Cup this year and after the awe inspiring performance, this team will click and it will click big time.

Players to watch out for this Champions league: 

1. Shane Watson



This is the  man who is the reason for Australia's success this season. He was declared the Man of the Tournament in the recently concluded ICC World T20 and has in him the fire that keeps burning and never is or can be put out. 419 runs and 11 wickets is no small feat and this man was the portrait of humility as he collected the Man of the Series.
If you are a Sydney Sixers supporter, Jump up in joy because this man is a diamond in the making. Otherwise, you have quite a difficult hurdle to pass.
His supreme form both with the bat and the ball makes him the lethal all rounder anybody could ask for and I respect him for his commitment and hard work.
He is Number 1 in my list of players to watch out for.

2. Keiron Pollard



Hard hitter of the ball, handy right arm medium pacer, dangerous fielder, Pollard is a gem worth a million dollars for the Mumbai Indians. Right after a world cup win, Pollard's spirits will be high and his presence in the team will boost their spirits and will make them a complete team.
Mumbai Indians will look to Pollard for inspiration, a bit of happiness and a little Gangnam Jig now and then to boost their morale.
He is definitely the Number 2 in my list!

3. Unmukt Chand



Captain of the Under 19 Indian Cricket team which brought back the cup this year, Unmukt is a plyer to look out for. His batting style, his rhythm, his placements are top notch and he will do a wonderful job in getting to know the top guns and learning to survive in the bigger picture. Delhi Daredevils will benefit quite a bit if he clicks and puts across his fresh thinking and strong inputs for the team.

There are other promising players like A.B.De Villiers for the Titans, Imran Nazir for the Sailkot Stallians, Pat Cummins who will make this tournament a nerve wrecking event.

Cricket fans all around the world, sit back and enjoy quality cricket for the next month.
