Champions League T20 is in full swing and we all are witness of some good action by ball and bat. So far there are some upsets in the tournament and some good performances shown by few known and unknown players.   Some of the low profile key players of the tournament are JP Duminy, AG Puttick, MC Henriques and PJ Hughes.
