Teams : 

SUNRISERS HYDERABAD

Performance in 2012: Well, they were Deccan Chargers before this. The team came second from bottom last year — never really hitting the highs they’re capable of.

Coach: Tom Moody

X-factor: Dale Steyn. He’s fast, lethal and ruthless. He has taken wickets all over the world and is probably the most effective bowler in all three formats. Last year, he took 18 wickets in 12 games. His best figures were 3/8.

Of course, Shikhar Dhawan is another huge factor, but his injury means he may miss part of the season.

Full squad: Akshath Reddy, Amit Mishra, Anand Rajan, Ankit Sharma, Ashish Reddy, Biplab Samantray, Cameron White, Chris Lynn, Clint McKay, Dale Steyn, Darren Sammy, Dwaraka Ravi Teja, Hanuma Vihari, Ishant Sharma, Jean-Paul Duminy, Karan Sharma, Kumar Sangakkara, Nathan McCullum, Parthiv Patel, Quinton de Kock, Sachin Rana, Shikhar Dhawan, Sudeep Tyagi, Thalaivan Sargunam, Thisara Perera, Veer Pratap Singh.

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE

Coach: Ray Jennings

Performance in 2012: Considering how their batting lineup looks like, their fifth place finish was downright poor. But they lost out on a playoff berth because of net run-rate — showing why it’s so important to avoid those close encounters.

X-factor: He scored 733 runs in 15 matches last year, at a strike-rate of 160.74, with 46 fours and 59 sixes. He is from West Indies. He is a left-handed batsman. And, he is cool. Chris Gayle it is.

Full squad: AB De Villiers, Abhimanyu Mithun, Abhinav Mukund, Andrew McDonald, Arun Karthik, Cheteshwar Pujara, Chris Gayle, Christopher Barnwell, Daniel Christian, Daniel Vettori, Harshal Patel, Jaidev Unadkat, K P Appanna, Karun Nair, Mayank Agarwal, Moises Henriques Murali Kartik, Muttiah Muralitharan, Pankaj Singh, Prasanth Parameswaran, R Vinay Kumar, Ravi Rampaul, Rudra Pratap Singh, S Aravind, Sandeep Warrier, Saurabh Tiwary, Sheldon Jackson, Sunny Sohal, Syed Mohammad, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Vijay Zol, Virat Kohli, Zaheer Khan.
