Punjab Kings Eleven will play in IPL 4 by betting on unknown young cricketers from Punjab, HP, Maharashtra and Gujarat. But, it has very good Australian stars in the line-up. It will be a big surprise if this team reaches elimination round. Congrats to team management for encouraging young Indian talent.

Team strengths:
1. Top class openers- Adam Gilchrist & Shaun Marsh
2. Too many hopes on unknown young Indian players. Can they live upto expectations?
Squad weaknesses:
1. Injuries to Stuart Broad & Mascerenhas.
2. Weak Indian players – (poor auction strategy – they will never learn).
3. I don’t know what is in their mind during auction while buying Indian players.
IPL 2011 squad rating: 6/10
IPL 4 prediction: Expect another poor performance.
