The presence of Trinidad & Tobago is what makes the Champions League T20 a most unusual competition. They will know that MI, who is unhappily without enough Mumbai or Indian players, is tough opponents to draw in the first game. But then, Darren Ganga's men will also be aware that there are indeed no free lunches in this competition, not after the qualifiers were introduced.
T&T's chief strength is their simple approach to the game. In Adrian Barath and Darren Bravo they have two of the most brilliant batsmen in the Caribbean while pacer Ravi Rampaul has time and again showed that he should have played more often than he has at the highest levels.
Ironically, their biggest risk could come from one of their own, a man they unleashed in the same tournament in 2009. In the absence of Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma, the role of Kieron Pollard becomes even more crucial for MI.
