Dhoni Versus His Own Men - Match Preview

This somehow seems similar to the famous legend in Mahabharata where Shri Krishna fought on the side of the Pandavas while his massive army fought from the opposite side.

Dhoni will get a similar feeling as he faces an almost Team India attack comprising of the fiery Sreesanth, the cool Pathan and the talented Chawla. Of course his rival commander-in-chief will be his good friend Yuvraj.

Again I think this is a great opportunity to get a BIG WIN - against one of the leading sides in the competition because I'm hoping that complacency settles in in the King's X1 Team.

If we win this we can almost surely start looking towards a semifinal slot with games against Bangalore and Kolkata to come.

Last time the Kings managed to score 207 yet lost easily as we had Hussey destroying them - this time we can't afford such luxuries.

Revenge Battles
Hussey had thrashed Lee last time around but neither is there for the re-match. So we have:
Chawla v Raina
Sreesanth v Patel
Hopes v Dhoni

as potential revenge battles.
