Raina.
 
He has the ability to cause serious damage if he's batting at the end of the innings, but it remains to be seen if he, and the other Indian players, feel the effects of a long draining IPL season.
 
Not just any other six, rather the six he hit in the 1992 Semi Final vs New Zealand.
 

I is for...Irfan

Irfan or Mohammed Irfan - know and learn that name as he will be a handful for most batsmen this summer in England!

After a long time, we now have a weapon of mass destruction (for batting lineups) as he amply demonstrated in India and South Africa.

Ok, so we are hyping him up but we have good reason to do that.

H is for...Hashim

Yes Hashim Amla, the world's number 1 ranked ODI batsman will be a big attraction in England, and not just for South African fans. He has impressed one and all with his calm nature and fantastic attitude on the field, and when you combine that with a batting average of 57 and a strike rate of 91, you see he really is the complete package.

G is for...Gayle

G is for Gayle. Both kinds…


First the man, Chris Gayle....

He is the most talked-about player in the run-up to the Champions Trophy, primarily due to his blistering form in the IPL. He has faced some international bowlers in the tournament, but will he be able to replicate his form at the very highest level?

E is for...England

England.

For the host of the final edition of the Champions Trophy, it is fitting that we return to the home of cricket.

For Pakistan, they can bank on past success in global tournaments in England. (Reached the final of the 1999 World Cup, semi-finals of 2004 Champions Trophy, winners of 2010 World Twenty20).

D is for...Death bowling

The last 15 overs where batsmen will try to get the maximum and bowlers will do their utmost to stop the rot 

In recent times, this skill which was a given for Pak bowlers has become rare. Umar Gul used to be a great proponent of fantastic death bowling - yorkers bowled at will, batsmen seen looking clueless against such accuracy

B is for...the Bravos

The tale of two Bravos for the West Indies – brothers Dwayne and Darren. One a right-handed all-rounder, the other billed as a Lara-light left-hander.

The more senior of the two, Dwayne John Bravo has been named skipper for the 2013 Champions Trophy, replacing Darren Sammy. A medium-pacer capable of explosive lower-order hitting, Bravo has been vice-captain for a number of years.
