Lion-hearted, spirited, passionate, hospitable, entertaining and brave - these are the words that the Kings XI Punjab team use to describe themselves.

Batting stalwarts Mahela Jayawardena, Kumar Sangakkara and Ramnaresh Sarwan will be expected to deliver alongside smiling assassin Brett Lee, break-dancing S.

Chennai Super Kings
Captain: Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Coach: Kepler Wessels
Franchisee: India Cements
Franchise cost: $$91 Million
Most expensive player: Mahendra Singh Dhoni - $1.5 million
The Chennai Super Kings created history of sorts when they outbid competitors to have Mahendra Singh Dhoni in their ranks. The highest paid star of the league will also fulfill skipper duties for the team. Owned by India Cements, the franchise has added star value in former cricketer Kris Srikkanth and South Indian actors Vijay and Nayantar appointed as brand ambassadors. The MA Chidambaram Stadium will be the home ground.
Coached by former South African cricketer Kepler Wessels, the team makes up for the absence of an Icon Player by having stalwarts like Matthew Hayden, Stephen Fleming, Michael Hussey, Jacob Oram, Makhaya Ntini and Muttiah Muralidharan lending their participation to the Super Kings. The team's name was chosen as a tribute to the rulers of the golden era of Tamil culture.
