Lot of chat round the watercoolers on some guy called Napoleon Einstein who plays for Chennai. He sounds dangerous - we've had a dig around to see what we could find, our sources tell us this much:

I think Mumbai could go all the way this year. With Tendulkar back in form and Harbhajan concentrating on the cricket again, it's looking pretty peachy. Personally, I'm excited about the return of Dwayne Bravo. Hopefully he'll be able to stay fit for the duration.

It's Tendulkar versus Dhoni
In what some say is a battle to be the apple of India's eye. On one side is India's most celebrated player, and on the other is a great player and India's favourite celebrity. Mumbai fans, lets hope Sachin can dig deep like he's done many times before and show Dhoni there's still a lot more left in the tank.
Money, can get you many things (a 27 storey house for one), but unfortunately for Mukesh Ambani, his highly paid stars flopped last year out on the pitch. They did, however, show their mettle off the field, becoming more famous for their slapping than their batting after a bout of one-way fisticuffs between Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth. In hindsight, it was all bound to end in tears. Just like the time Mukesh was revoked of the 'Richest Man in The World' title the day after being given it, this team were a little above themselves. But Mukesh's success is probably not all an accident, so expect this wily business man and his team to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and mix it up. Coached by Lalchand Rajput, with Icon player Sachin Tendulkar.
