Deccan Gladiators
The Deccan Gladiators are off to a flying start, sitting atop the points table with one win. Their top order is firing on all cylinders, led by Jos Buttler’s explosive innings in the previous match.
Key Players to Watch:

Strengths:

- Ravi Bopara: Experienced and dependable in the middle order, capable of anchoring the innings.
- Jason Behrendorff: A left-arm pacer who can swing the new ball and trouble top-order batters.
