"Expect the Chandigarh Lions to gain the maximum amount of props, since the tournament is being played in the province of Panchkula, which is a neighbour to the great city of Chandigarh. A power-packed team will take to the field and offer terrific amusement to the crowds.

Their captain Chris Cairns - one of the most exhilarating cricketers of the 90s will look to lead from the front and pass on his proficiency to the talented young players in the team. The Kiwi all-rounder held the record for the maximum sixes in Test cricket for a long time, which clearly indicates the extent of his capability

Former India batsman Dinesh Mongia, one of the star batsmen of the team will help his team with his familiarity of the local conditions. New Zealand batsman Hamish Marshall will look to give his team the early impetus alongside former Pakistan opener Imran Farhat. The Lions have a couple of resourceful all-rounders in their team - South African Andrew Hall and Reetinder Singh Sodhi.

Kiwi fast bowler Daryll Tuffey will spearhead the bowling attack alongside Love Ablish and Gaurav Gupta. Hall, Cairns and Sodhi are also more than capable of sharing the new ball. Former India fast bowler Balwinder Singh Sandhu, who played a vital role for the national team during the 1983 World Cup triumph, will coach the Chandigarh Lions."
