The Sri Lankan captain has a big task in hand as he is going to lead the 2009 IPL champions. With enough experience as a captain, he also brings stability and experience in the middle order.
The left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman didn't have a good outing leading with Kings XI Punjab last season, but now has a chance to prove his critics wrong.
Along with international stars like Dale Steyn, Kevin Peitersen , JP Duminy and Cameron White, he also has Indian stars like Ishant Sharma, Pragyan Ojha and Amit Mishra in the side.
