IPL Is Come.
Which team is the favorite in IPL this time?
.
The beginning could not be better. Mumbai Indians and runners-up Chennai Super Kings will play in the opening match of this year's IPL in Abu Dhabi tomorrow. Mumbai are four-time champions, Chennai three-time. This year's IPL will start with the fight between the best two teams of the best T20 league in the world.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore will play in the first week of the tournament. But who will win the 13th IPL title? Each team member, strengths, weaknesses are in front of everyone.
But many former cricketers and coaches are voting for the most successful team in the IPL, the Mumbai Indians, to win the title. Mumbai are among the top four teams selected by two-time IPL-winning captain Gautam Gambhir, former cricketer and commentator Ian Bishop, Sanjay Manjrekar, Akash Chopra, Ajit Agarkar, Dwip Das Gupta and Tom Moody.
Not only is the four-time champion team, Rohit Sharma's team is one of the most balanced teams in the IPL this year. Quinton de Kock, another devastating South African batsman, will start the innings with a great white ball opener like Rohit in the top order. Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan's match situation has come to Mumbai. It is more likely to do so again.
Mumbai's big strength is middle order batting. Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya তিন the performances of these three cricketers determine the fate of Mumbai in every edition. Pollard's team won the CPL title a few days ago. Pollard's form in that tournament with the bat was memorable. Sometimes he did not bowl regularly for a few years. This time he got success by bowling in CPL. Pollard may also be seen waving his hand in the IPL.
The big loss in Mumbai bowling is the absence of experienced Lasith Malinga. The Sri Lankan legend will not play in the IPL this time due to his father's illness. But Yashpreet Bumra is there to fill that void. And another world-class bowler Trent Bolt. Another Kiwi pacer, Mitchell McLennan, could play if Bolt is injured. Young Rahul Chahar is there to handle the spin attack.
Apart from Mumbai, Delhi Capitals is a youth team of five experts. Last time, Ricky Ponting's team took the last four place with a group of youngsters. This time the team expects to take another step. Manjrekar, along with Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad, has put Delhi on the list of favorites. Bishop's choice is a lot like Manjrekar's. Bangalore is the choice of this Caribbean along with Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi.
There are surprises on Gambhir's list of favorites. He has kept Punjab along with Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi or Rajasthan. Dwipadas Gupta's four favorite teams are Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai and Kolkata. This time Moody's favorite team is Delhi. Mumbai, Punjab and Hyderabad are the favorites of this Australian. Agarkar has chosen Mumbai, Rajasthan, Kolkata and Chennai. Akash prefers Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and Bangalore.
