Champions League T20: Key Players
Titans – Abraham Benjamin has been around for long enough with the South African team for us to write more about in this special edition. Suffice to say that AB is a fast scorer and a quick-silver fielder who can add value to any team in the short formats of cricket. Ask Viru about his stint with the Delhi Daredevils in the IPL! He has been in good form in the Pro20 Series back home.
Dale Steyn
Titans – This tearaway fast bowler has stepped into the shoes of the great Allan Donald with ease and is today a fearsome sight for the batsmen as the cherry hurls at over 150Ks. Though Steyn had a forgettable first season at the IPL with the Royal Challengers, he knows India well to make an impact at the League. His ability to swing the ball at pace makes Steyn a deadly package.
Morne Morkel
Titans – Another fast bowler in the Proteas line-up who is impressing with his bounce and pace. The tall fast bowler would be a key player for the Titans though he has not yet come to grips with the line and length that one needs to bowl in Indian conditions to be successful.
Bushrangers – He is a player who has promised much but not really delivered on the world stage though Hodge is a very consistent run-getter in domestic cricket. He was the first to get a three-figure score in domestic T-20 and is one of the few players in the world who has played 50 matches in the shortest format of cricket. With 1600 runs at a strike rate of over 135, Hodge will provide some fireworks.
