The stage is set for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2015 and to get the ball rolling, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) square off against 2013 champions Mumbai Indians (MI) at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Both teams have strong squads in place and the contest may set the tone for rest of the tournament. Also Read- Kolkata Knight Riders Team Profile.

KKR, led by discarded India opener Gautam Gambhir, have a good blend of local and international players. The team is stocked with match-winners in all departments. West Indies import Sunil Narine’s clearance to bowl has boosted KKR’s chances ahead of this season. Without the Trinidadian, the side’s bowling lacks teeth.

Squads:

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR): Gautam Gambhir (c), Sunil Narine, Manish Pandey, Robin Uthappa, Umesh Yadav, Yusuf Pathan, Andre Russell, Ryan ten Doeschate, Shakib Al Hasan, Kuldeep Yadav, Morne Morkel, Azhar Mahmood, Johan Botha, KC Cariappa, Piyush Chawla, Pat Cummins, Aditya Garhwal, Brad Hogg, Sheldon Jackson, Sumit Narwal, Veer Pratap Singh, Vaibhav Rawal, Suryakumar Yadav.

Mumbai Indians (MI): Rohit Sharma (c), Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga, Kieron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, Lendl Simmons, Vinay Kumar, Corey Anderson, Aiden Blizzard, Jasprit Bumrah, Aditya Tare, Pawan Suyal, Mitchell McClenaghan, Marchant de Lange, Unmukt Chand, Aaron Finch, Parthiv Patel, Siddhesh Lad, Abhimanyu Mithun, Shreyas Gopal, Josh Hazlewood, Pragyan Ojha, Hardik Pandya, J Suchith, Akshay Wakhare, Nitish Rana.

Agreed, it's a hard job to host the opening ceremony of an event which is as crucial as the Indian Premiere League. And it only gets harder when it comes to convincing the audiences about the selection of actor Saif Ali Khan as the host.

Saif, who made his debut as the TV host with IPL 8, fumbled, forgot lines and failed at contributing something unique to the opening ceremony. So Saif, the 10th Nawab of Pataudi, who had quite clearly stated that he wasn't 'gifted' when it comes to cricket, also proved that he isn't as impressive when it comes to hosting either. We may have adored him for his films, but as a host he needs to realise that it takes a certain skill set to do it flawlessly, to pull it off, and also make it work. Besides failing at finding a place in our hearts and minds, Saif's skills were such that it made the viewers confused about the show's concept. So much so that they classified the show as punishment rather than entertainment.

The so-called celebration also brought a disapproving frown from cricket enthusiasts. The reason? Saif's inability to engage the audiences who were just being subjected to an expected Bollywood style spectacle that lacked both spirit and verve.

Saif not only can't play cricket and host a stage but even can't act in the Films too :p

Tats proves that no matter how much your parents are talented until and unless you not work hard with your professionals you won't be known as superstar of any field ;)
