Chennai Braves had a struggle last season. Winning only two games they battled with availability issues and lack of form, losing games in disappointing ways. Gladiators though dominated for a good chunk of the season, falling short in the Finals and they come back stronger now in the hope of finding a way past the final step.

Nicholas Pooran

The T10 league has seen a lot of fireworks in the past from Nicholas Pooran. He now comes in again as explosive as ever and will be looking to find his feet after a tough T20 series against England earlier.
