#3 Mumbai Indians
Since 2013, Mumbai Indians have created a set pattern in the points table. They have finished on top of the points table every alternate year. 2013, 2015, 2017 and it this continues, they would finish on top in 2019 as well. But that’s just a coincidence. However, the Mumbai-based franchise has what it takes to secure the top spot once again.
The 3-time IPL champions missed a playoff berth last year and that was only the 4th such incident in IPL history. Over the years, they have been one of the strongest sides. For a number of seasons, they have retained the core that has done wonders for them.
This year too, they are going in with Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kieron Pollard, the Pandya brothers that make a formidable squad. Mumbai Indians are certainly in line for a playoff spot. It won’t be surprising if the team leaves behind the disappointment of last year and goes on to win the 4th title.
