PREVIEW OF DECCAN CHARGERS FOR IPL 2009

Strengths
Adam Gilchrist, Andrew Symonds, Herchelle Gibbs, Rohit Sharma - the Chargers have a fierce batting line-up that will surely fancy bettering their abject collective performance last year.

Weaknesses
Amidst a bowling attack littered with inexperience, lies a trio laden in international experience. Fidel Edwards, Chaminda Vaas and Rudra Pratap Singh will be key to the Chargers' cause, particularly the latter's economy rate late innings.

 Likely hit 
Fans can expect VVS Laxman to convert his rich form in Test cricket to more runs in the shorter format.

Likely Flop
Sri Lankan middle-order man Chamara Silva will struggle to get a game with a four-player limit on internationals per starting XI.

Prediction
They'll finish a couple positions higher than last year's wooden spoon, but hopes of a semi-final berth are a tad farfetched.
