This is a pretty good squad and a well settled one. This will be my starting XI:
1. Gautam Gambhir (c)
2. Robin Uthappa - as well settled an opening pair as we have ever had
3. Manish Pandey - coming off a century in Australia, he should get to bat as many overs as possible
4. Chris Lynn - 5 sixes in a row in the recently concluded Big Bash, for me Lynn plays at least the first 3 matches. He is in tremendous six-hitting form and we should try and take early advantage of it.
5. Yusuf Pathan
6. Suryakumar Yadav
7. Shakib Al Hassan
8. Andre Russell
9. Umesh Yadav
10. Sunil Narine
11. Piyush Chawla
Depending on conditions, I would play Morkel over Narine. And if Lynn fails in the first 3 matches, replace him with Munro. Just looking at it, we seem quite bowling-heavy - not team, but bench strength-wise. I am quite happy with the squad. This year as well, I think we will do well if Andre Russell does well half the time. He is our best player and reckon he should simply play EVERY game.

Andre should probably bat higher up given he was one of our best batsmen last season. Chris Munro and Lynn could prove to be handy.

Agree with your list but I like to see kuldeep yadav ahead of piyush chawla who concedes more runs in form of sixes Gambhir should try kuldeep atleast 3-4 matches Munro is good buy (30 lacs) he is clean striker and perfect replace for cris Lynn if he fails on Indian pitches Hope Russell to click with both bat and ball. Sad to see tendoschate is not in the list. Somehow I am feeling He was lucky for kkr.
