I think WZ will be knocked out first up. The squad is just too batting dominated.

East Zone announce their Squad.​

East Zone selectors named their squad for the Eastern Mustangs who will play the Deodhar Trophy. Lead by MS Dhoni, this team will give some tough competition to the opponents. Addition of overseas players has made it bit strong. "Well of course, addition of Dwayne Bravo and Lasith Malinga is something to boast about. Anyways, we have Laxmi Shukla, who is a handy all rounder, bowlers like Ashoke Dinda, Pat Cummins, who can do well too." said the skipper MS Dhoni. The selectors spoke that it was Ganguly's interest to play as a batsman rather than a captain.

Deodhar Trophy kicks off at Hyderabad.​

Although it isn't Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, what was chosen for opening ceremony, the Gacchibowli Sports City has hosted a short but spectacular event, what was held in association with a NGO of Hyderabad.

Gangnam Gangnam Gangnam at Hyderabad​

The small opening ceremony had teams walking in, what was followed by performance of the recent blockbuster "Gangnam Style" by the man himself. This was followed by lantern ceremony, where the players, the entire crowd left numerous flying lanterns what went high in the sky.

Flying lanterns were left in huge number.​

The first match is between Western Wranglers and Central Crusaders, at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
