KXIP flaunt three of the most destructive batsmen - Glenn Maxwell, Virender Sehwag, David Miller - in world cricket. And the fortunes of these power hitters will be keenly followed in KXIP's matches. These three players displayed their batting might during IPL-7 and the team hopes to make an impressive CLT20 debut riding on the big-hitting prowess of these proven match-winners.

Among the overseas teams, Cape Cobras appear to be the strongest on paper. The team boasts of several South African internationals in Jean-Paul Duminy, Hashim Amla, Robin Peterson, former MI opener Richard Levi, Vernon Philander and Charl Langveldt.

Australian side Perth Scorchers rely on Adam Voges, veteran spinner Brad Hogg, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Yasir Arafat.
