India : The Champions of the inaugural T20 are looking to repeat their 2007 heroics. The men in Blue are the only team in the competition that have won all its league matches.

The protease team has the potential of being the champions on many occasions. But their main drawback has been the ability to perform under pressure.

They have the big hitters in the form of De villiers, Duminy, Albie Morkel.The team's susceptibility to spin can be a major hurdle for the team in the Sub Continental pitches as said by their batsman JP Duminy who has also expressed that the protease were finding ways to tackle the spin.
