The Hyderabad franchise are the early favourites by popular consensus. It's not hard to see why. A quick look at their squad and it seems likely that they will back up their claims as "the unstoppable's". The only thing standing in their way are the rules, namely, a limit of four international players in the starting XI. When you have Gilchrist, Gibbs, Symonds, Styris, Afridi, Vaas and Zoysa it's likely to be a tough decision. Nevertheless its an excellent position to be in. Backing up this international brigade will be Indian players Laxman (the captain and would be Icon player), Rohit Sharma and RP Singh. PLAYER TO WATCH SHAHID AFRIDI In such a brilliant squad its hard to limit yourself to one player. The Chargers' international players will provide enormous entertainment throughout the league. While Andrew Symonds drew the big bids Shahid Afridi has been playing twenty20 all his career. Afridi is known as the man who hit a 37-ball hundred. His leg spinners can be erratic but are proven wicket takers, 25 down at an average of 18.32.
