IPL AUCTION HIND SIGHTS: HYDERABAD – POWER PACK

A dream lineup for a T20 format. When you have players like Gilchrist, Symonds, Gibbs, and Afridi on a single side, matches could be lopsided. Games may not last the whole 20 overs. The IPL is gonna lose a few balls if these four get going.

Jack in the pack:
Though a jack in this power pack might not be of much significance, Scott Styris could prove to ba a handful for the opposition. With the ability to provide crucial breakthroughs and the power to hit the ball way out of the stadium, he could prove to be a pain in the neck for the opposition.

Pain in the neck:
RP, Zoysa and Vaas are all left arm seamers which could prove to be a one dimensional attack.

Squad:
Adam Gilchrist (US$700,000), Andrew Symonds (US$1.35 million), Herschelle Gibbs (US$575,000), Shahid Afridi (US$675,000), Scott Styris (US$175,000), VVS Laxman (US$375,000), Rohit Sharma (US$750,000), Chamara Silva (US$100,000), RP Singh (US$875,000), Chaminda Vaas (US$200,000), Nuwan Zoysa (US$110,000)

Quote: Bowlers beware. Its gonna rain 4s and 6s.
