They are thin in the multi-skilled  department as well, with surprise purchase Dan Christian being their  only allrounder. They also have only one wicketkeeper at present, Kumar  Sangakkara, who is likely to lead the team as well. They, however, have a  rich batting line-up that includes Kevin Pietersen, Cameron White and  JP Duminy, and also little-known Chris Lynn.   Squad  Batsmen: Kevin Pietersen ($650,000), Cameron White ($1.1m), JP  Duminy ($300,000), Shikhar Dhawan ($300,000), Michael Lumb ($85,000),  Chris Lynn ($20,000)Bowlers: Ishant Sharma ($450,000), Dale Steyn ($1.2m), Pragyan  Ojha ($500,000), Amit Mishra ($300,000), Manpreet Gony ($290,000), Rusty  Theron ($85,000)Allrounders: Dan Christian ($900,000)Wicketkeepers: Kumar Sangakkara ($700,000)</blockquote>
