Under the captaincy of one of the most successful Indian captain Saurav Ganguly, Knight riders too is one of the best team of the league.With a strong batting line up followed by fiery bowling attack this team can present a strong a competition to rest of the team in the league.Two great world class batsmen from Australia Ricky ponting and Hussey will be the one to watch out for.These two can single handedly turn a match around and they have proved it in their ODI careers.West Indies master blaster Chris Gayle is one of the best big hitters in the world cricket.To say about the bowling attack, Indian young sensation Ishanth Sharma along with fastest bowler of world cricket Shoaib Akhtar and Umar Gul can be the dread fear of any batsman.Under 19 star Siddarth Kaul did a pretty good job in the U-19 World cup taking 10 wickets with an average of 15.40. Also the most interesting part of this team would be to see how Ponting would play under the captaincy of Surav Ganguly.Indeed the Knight Rider logo with ancient helmet on fire carries some meaning in it.
