Royal Challengers Bangalore team players, squad for IPL T20 2013
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Indian Premier League is a cricket tournament being organised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and backed by the International Cricket Council (ICC). For the inaugural tournament held in April–June 2008, the BCCI had finalised a list of 8 teams who will be participating in the tournament. The teams representing 8 different cities of India, including Bangalore, were put up on auction in Mumbai on 20 February 2008 and the Bangalore team was won by Vijay Mallya, who paid US$111.6 million for it. This was the second highest bid for a team in the IPL, next only to Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Industries’ bid of $111.9 million for the Mumbai team. Bollywood actresses Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone, and Sandalwood film stars Ramya and Puneeth Rajkumar are the brand ambassadors of the team.

Rajasthan Royals players, squad for IPL T20 2013
Rajasthan Royals: A listless team with some definite promise. Rajasthan seem to be on a quest that is analogous to Jack Sparrow’s in the Caribbean series of movies. They won the inaugural IPL, and since then locked the recipe for success in a lumber room and are still looking for keys. Absence of the talismanic Shane Warne who doubled up as mentor hits them hugely.The Group acquired the franchise for $67 million. Incidentally, this was the least expensive franchise in the Indian Premier League and probably the least fancied team in the league at the beginning of the tournament. Bollywood actress and Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty and her business partner (now husband) Raj Kundra paid approximately US $15.4 million for a 11.7% stake before the start of IPL 2 in early 2009, therefore valuing the team at $130 million.It made a pre-tax profit of $7.5 million in 2009.

Mumbai Indians: Great chance if they maintain consistency. For Mumbai Indians, the story in IPL has ever been so near; yet so far. They will hope tha
t diction changes when 2013 IPL comes up. The Reliance owned team has retained a host of players to maintain sequence and steadiness, releasing only half-a-dozen.Reliance Industries Limitedpurchased the rights for the Mumbai franchise of Indian Premier League for a total of 496 Cr ($ 124 m) during the auction on January 24, 2008. The franchise was eventually named the Mumbai Indians. The RIL bid made the Mumbai Indians the most expensive franchise in the 2007 IPL auction till 2010 edition. In 2011 team auction saw the Sahara Pune Warriors bought by Subroto Roy taking that title worth 1726 Cr ($ 375.2 m).

Kolkata Knight Riders team players, squad for IPL T20 2013

Kolkata Knight Riders: quality proposition but some holes to plug. Largely in keeping with the rejoicing fact that they are the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders have retained all but 4 of their players for the 2013 edition. Yet, one wonders if the formula that helped them win in 2012 will hold true this time too.
Kolkata Knight Riders, winners of the 2012 edition of the tournament, will commence their quest to retain the title, on home turf. They will take on Delhi Daredevils in the IPL 2013 inaugural clash of the competition at the Eden Gardens, on 3 April 2013.

Kings XI Punjab team players, squad for IPL T20 2013

The group paid a total of $76 million to acquire the franchise. On 10 October 2010 the franchise agreement of Kings eleven was terminated by the IPL committee along with Rajasthan Royals due to their disputes.
Former Australia batsman, Darren Lehmann has been named as Kings XI Punjab’s new coach ahead of the Pepsi Indian Premier League 2013.
Lehmann has replaced his fellow countryman Adam Gilchrist, who was captain-cum-coach of the team in the last season. Gilchrist will continue to be part of the team while Lehmann takes over the mentoring role from him.
Lehmann played for the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2008 before coaching the 2009 season winners.
