Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar and former Australian opener Matthew Hayden have picked the four teams which they think might qualify for the playoff stages in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League.
Gavaskar picked Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, and Mumbai Indians as the four teams who can qualify the playoff stages.
On the other hand, former CSK batter Matthew Hayden predicted Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians, and Royal Challengers Bangalore as the four teams.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bangalore had qualified for the playoff stages in the previous season of the tournament while the final was played between CSK and KKR.
This season of the IPL has 10 teams and all the sides have new squads after IPL 2022 mega auction.
“Of course Mumbai Indians, I think Delhi Capitals too, the way they have progressed in the last couple of years is impressive so Delhi Capitals are the second team,” Sunil Gavaskar said during an episode of ‘Cricket Live’ on IPL’s official broadcaster Star Sports.
“Then, I think it could be Kolkata Knight Riders because they are a very, very good team. And I am hoping for Jaddu’s sake that Chennai Super Kings could be the fourth team,” Gavaskar added.
On the other hand, Matthew Hayden said, “CSK will be the first team I wish to see in the top four. I am actually going to leave Mumbai Indians out of that. I’ll have Delhi across in the list and then Kolkata. And then pretty much like last year, I think RCB has a really good side. So these are my top four picks.”
All the teams have potent squads in the ongoing season and they will be looking to bring their best to the table.
Meanwhile, KKR got off to a winning start as they won the tournament’s opener against defending champions CSK by six wickets. Furthermore, Delhi Capitals also won their opening match against Mumbai Indians by four wickets.
