As the Indian Premiere League's second season is about to begin, noted astro-numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi predicts what is in store for the IPL season one winner and its key players and of course it's new owner Shilpa Shetty.

RAJASTHAN ROYALS: As a name `Rajasthan Royals' adds up to No. 40 (4). Considered not be an auspicious number in numerology but can definitely be the most unconventional & unpredictable number. Who expected RR to win the first ever IPL series? I am sure even they didn't. (But I can proudly say that I had predicted their win a week ago in press / radio before the finals took place) Amongst the lowest bidding team of last year, they slowly & steadily made progress & came to winners to everyone's surprise. This year also, I am quite hopeful that the team would not disappointment their fans as luck seems to be in their favour once again. The year 2009 is favourable for most people or names connected with numbers 1, 2, 4 or 7. RR fits the bill perfectly.

SHILPA SHETTY: Shilpa is born on 8th June, 1975. She is a Gemini ruled by No. 5 (Mercury) & her compound number adds up to No. 9 (Mars). No. 9 is the planet of high energy & force best associated with events like sports & action. In that case, Shilpa's entry in this field is the step in the right direction. Politics is the next step for Shilpa, mark my words! Her current beau Raj Kundra is also a No. 9 (9th Sept) & they both have it in them to raise the flag of RR even higher. Although they both being in their 34thyears would bring mixed results. It can also invite a lot of stress but the country South Africa which adds up to No. 5 is very compatible with their numbers & she can take the whole experience as a nice break / holiday from her routine work.

MOHAMMED KAIF: Born on 1st December 1980, MF is a No. 1 (Sun) in numerology. He is ruled by No. 3 (Sagittarius - ruler Jupiter) & his compound number adds up to No. 4

(Rahu). Being ruled by No. 4, he is automatically ruled by No. 1 (Sun). MF is currently in his 29th year which is the `best time' for him. The year 2009 which adds up to No. 2
(Moon) is also one of his strongest numbers & MF will `rock' in this series. Going by his numbers, he seems to be a very determined person, very aggressive in his approach but at times may loose focus & concentration levels may deviate to other materialistic things. He should wear a Yellow Sapphire & a Ruby, both above 4 carats for better performance & control anxiety.

SHANE WARNE: Born on 13th September 1969, SW is a No. 4 (Rahu) in numerology. He is ruled by No. 5 (Virgo - ruler Mercury) & his compound number adds to No. 2
(Moon). Being ruled by No. 2, he is automatically ruled by No. 7 (Neptune). Currently in his 40th year, SW will be going through extremely stressful times during the series. He has the burden to carry forward their success of last year on his shoulders & meet people's expectations. Wearing a Pearl could give him some mental peace & he would be in a position to take decisions more calmly. An Emerald would ensure his longer innings on the field so he can break some more records. He should jointly discuss issues with his teammates well in advance be it their playing tactics, strategies etc.

YUSUF PATHAN: Born on 17th November 1982, YP is a No. 8 (Saturn) in numerology. He is ruled by No. 9 (Scorpio - ruler Mars) & his compound number adds up to No. 3
(Jupiter). Being in his 27th year, YP is in real mood to kick some serious butt in this series. He is full of stamina to give others a run for their money with his sheer power & drive. A Yellow Sapphire would ensure some cool bucks making him richer with his performance after every game. But by saying this, he better stay away from over confidence & short temperedness.

MUNAF PATEL: Born on 12th July 1983, MP is a No. 3 (Jupiter) person in numerology. He is ruled by Nos. 2 & 7 (Cancer - ruler Moon & Neptune) & his compound number also adds up to No. 2 (Moon). Being ruled by No. 2, he is automatically ruled by No. 7 (Neptune). That way he is ruled by Nos. 2 & 7 twice. MP is currently in his 26th year which is not a good time for him as far as physical fitness is concerned. He will have to push himself too hard to come out with a superlative performance. Since he is in the year of Shani (8), he will deliver extreme results. Either he would play too good or below the mark during the series depending on the date & the venue. Wearing a Yellow Sapphire would ensure a stable performance in crucial matches & even otherwise.

KAMRAN AKMAL: Born on 13th January 1982, KA is a No. 4 (Rahu) person in numerology. He is ruled by No. 8 (Capricorn - ruler Saturn) & his compound number adds to No. 7 (Moon). Being ruled by No. 7, he is automatically ruled by No. 2 (Moon). Currently in his 28th year, KA's luck is in full form to help him come out `shining' during this series. The only dark cloud could be his name which vibrates on No. 26 (8). Also a weak `Ketu' could restrain his performance during some matches & he may actually under perform even when everything may seem to be going just right for him. Strongly recommended - a Cat's Eye above 4 carats to ward off negativity & evil eye.

YOUNIS KHAN: Born on 29th November 1977, YK is a No. 2 (Moon) person in numerology. Being ruled by No. 2, he is automatically ruled by No. 7 (Neptune). He is also ruled by No. 3 (Sagittarius - ruler Jupiter) & his compound number adds up to No. 1 (Sun). Being in his 32nd year, YK is going through a decent phase of his career where although nothing is looking great but it's isn't too bad either. In fact the year 2009 which adds up to No. 2 being one of his best numbers, will only add to his performance & he may surprise one & all. Wearing a Ruby would help him with better concentration levels, focus & improving relations with his team members, colleagues & other associates. -Sampurn Media
