Big Picture
Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore's respective states are fierce rivals in the Ranji Trophy, and these two franchises contested an IPL final, two semi-finals and a qualifying final. Chennai and Bangalore are also two cities that have taken to franchise cricket.
These two sides are the closest thing to a rivalry in the IPL - Super Kings lead the head-to-head 7-5. The tournament can do with a closely fought game after several one-sided contests this season.

Players to watch
Muttiah Muralitharan was an important part of Super Kings' success over the first few years, but he is now up against his former team. He was exceptional in Royal Challengers' first game against Delhi Daredevils, but took a beating in the second against Kolkata Knight Riders.
The Chennai curator, who over the last few years served up slow and low pitches that made for unattractive cricket, produced a surprise with a green surface for the opening game. The ball came on, but it also bounced generously. Super Kings couldn't manage a defendable target, Mumbai Indians' Rohit Sharma got hit in the unmentionables, and Sachin Tendulkar missed three games after a blow to his hand. All this a day after the IPL chairman had asked for pitches that produced a minimum of 160. That strip will be under the scanner.

2011 head-to-head
Royal Challengers and Super Kings met four times last year. They were 1-1 after the league games, but Super Kings won both the qualifying final and the final.

Stats and trivia

• Two of the IPL's most prolific six-hitters will be on display in Chennai: Suresh Raina, with 81, is behind Adam Gilchrist's 83, while Chris Gayle has smoked a whopping 70 in just 29 games.
• MS Dhoni holds a clear lead for the record of most Twenty20 matches as captain - 103. Gilchrist is next with 65.

Quotes
"He [Dhoni] never seems to be under any kind of pressure. Obviously, he has pressure but that he has been living with for quite some time now."
Stephen Fleming adds more coolness to Dhoni's image
"We bowled quite well last year too. The addition of Vinay Kumar has been outstanding for us. He can bowl at any stage of the innings. And obviously Muralitharan." Daniel Vettori.

IPL auction: Kochi players top pruned list

IPL 2012 Auction
Brendon McCullum, VVS Laxman and Sreesanth are the most valued names among several former Kochi Tuskers Kerala players to have been added to a trimmed 144-man list for the upcoming IPL auction in Bangalore on February 4.
The IPL's Governing Council, after releasing a 183-man shortlist to the franchises earlier this month, had said that Kochi players would be added at a later date.

Brendon McCullum IPL

Laxman, the embattled Test batsman, discarded pace bowler Sreesanth and New Zealand wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon McCullum have fetched the highest reserve price of $400,000. The Sri Lankan pair of Mahela Jayawardene and Muttiah Muralitharan – who retired from international cricket after the 2011 World Cup – have been valued at $300,000 followed by RP Singh and Parthiv Patel ($200,000) and Ravindra Jadeja, Vinay Kumar, Ramesh Powar and VRV Singh ($100,000).
Each of these players played for Kochi in IPL-4 before the franchise was terminated by the IPL's Governing Council.
"The shortlist comprises some outstanding cricket talent. Given that it was prepared on the basis of the feedback of the franchises themselves, the stage is set for an exciting and eventful Player Auction, this Saturday," Rajeev Shukla, the IPL chairman, said on the list announced.
There are several new additions to the list, which did not feature on the initial 183-player list. Those to fetch reserve prices of $200,000 are discarded Australian allrounder Steven Smith, former Australia bastman Brad Hodge, England's Ian Bell and Owais Shah and former South African allrounder Nicky Boje.
New Zealand allrounder Jacob Oram, South African wicketkeeper Mark Boucher and allrounder Ryan McLaren, Sri Lankan fast bowler Dilhara Fernando, Zimbabwean spinner Ray Price and uncapped Australian pace bowler James Faulkner have been bracketed at $100,000. One rung lower, at $50,000, are Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal, the South African fast-bowling pair of Johan van der Wath and Marchant de Lange and South Australia's Michael Klinger.
Notable among those players to have been dropped are South Africa's Jacques Rudolph and Justing Ontong, Sri Lanka's Dhammika Prasad and Suranga Lakmal, New Zealanders Jamie How and Kane Williamson, Australia's Usman Khawaja, West Indies' Carlton Baugh and Zimbabweans Tatenda Taibu, Elton Chigumbura, Stuart Matsikenyeri, Vusi Sibanda and Kyle Jarvis.
