Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Night Riders:
While the nation is still on a high and recovering from the amazing World Cup triumph by india, the IPL begins on 8April 29011.Yet remains to be seen whether the World Cup triumph by India works for or against this edition of the IPL. General opinion would say that it should only make the IPL more popular and increases its brand value but there is another way of looking at it, where you think we have just had a whole month of absorbing cricket and the viewers have probably had enough and that the IPL would be a overdoze of a kind. Well I suppose time will tell which theory holds true.
The opening game, Chennai vs Kolkata
Chennai have been the most consistent team in all editions of the IPL and with a leader who is a World Cup winning captain, its only going to rub off on the players.Dhoni and company are definately going to be a force to reckon with in this edition of the IPL.The notable additions in the side would be Faf du plessis, Nuwan Kulasekara.,Tim Southee,Suraj Randiv and Scott Styris.With Mike hussey and Doug bollinger being away and Dwayne bravo being unfit,would be intresting to see what type of a combination Dhoni goes for.They are a balanced side and with the middle order consisting of Dhoni, Raina, Morkel and Badrinath they bat deep and the bowling seems well balanced too.Chennai would definately go a long way.

Kolkata Night Riders under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir who himself is been in some exemplary form with a World Cup winning knock of 97 in the final,they got the likes of Kallis, Morgan, Haddin, Brett Lee and Shakib among their foreign players.Gautam Gambhir definately has some tough choices to make as to which 4 of the foreign players is he going to play,add to that the explosive Yusuf Pathan the reliable Manoj Tiwary and some young talent in Manwinder Bisla and Jaidev Undakant who recently made his debut in test cricket.This side is just full of super stars.
What a mouth watering prospect we have in store,2 of the best indian
players as skippers, both instrumental in winnings us the World Cup
and some of the best players in the international game on display.Its hard to pick in a game like this,but if I had to pick a winner I think Kolkata would upsetChennai and make a statement at the very begining of the tournmanet that they are not here to fill the numbers and in no form are pushovers but genuine title contenders, let the action begin.
