The Chennai Superstars possess perhaps the most compelling batting lineup in the tournament. Captain Stuart Law, a former Australian player and seasoned campaigner who has scored heaps of runs in England and Australia, was one of the pioneers of the Twenty20 format when it first began half a decade ago. The Superstars will be coached by former Australian great Michael Bevan – who is a connoisseur of the shorter version of the sport. Bevan will look to pass on his credible skills to his teammates.

Law will be ably supported by another T20 adept Aussie superstar Ian Harvey. The all-rounder was an integral component of the Australian teams which won the World Cup in 1999 and 2003. Harvey has reaped affluent success in England’s domestic T20 tournament, with both bat and ball.

The Superstars will also have in their outfit three solid left-handed batsmen in the middle order – Sri Lankan veteran Russel Arnold, former Indian batsmen Sridharan Sriram and Hemang Badani.

English wicket-keeper and Chris Read will feature as a useful lower-order batsman alongside all-rounder R Satish. Pakistan’s Shabbir Ahmed, former Indian bowler Thiru Kumaran and Jesurj will formulate the fast bowling attack.
