IPL 2023 has entertained the fans a lot over the last three weeks. The 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League started on March 31, and 28 matches have happened in the competition so far. None of the teams are the clear favorites to win the title as of now.
In this listicle now, we will rank the 10 teams based on their current chances of winning the trophy in the 2023 season.
10. Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals started their season with five losses in five matches. They have recorded their first win now, but their batting looks very weak.
9. Sunrisers Hyderabad
Absence of big names and match-winners has hurt the Orange Army a lot. It seems unlikely that the Aiden Markram-led outfit will finish in the Top 4.
8. Kolkata Knight Riders
Injuries and poor performance from overseas players has hurt KKR a lot so far in the season. Finishing in the Top 4 will be difficult for them as well.
7. Punjab Kings
Like every season, Punjab Kings started IPL 2023 with a bang, but they have lost momentum. It should not be a surprise if they finish in the middle-muddle once again.
6. Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals are currently at the top of the points table, but looking at their recent defeat against LSG, it seems like they may struggle to make it to the playoffs.
5. Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians are likely to finish in the upper half of the points table. However, the injuries to top fast bowlers may keep them away from the title.
4. Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore are among the favorites to win the title this year. If their bowlers become more consistent, RCB can win the title.
3. Lucknow Super Giants
KL Rahul’s Lucknow Super Giants are among the top contenders to win the trophy. They will have to play well in the playoffs.
2. Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans are known for punching above their weight. They stunned everyone by winning IPL 2022 and it should not be a surprise if it happens again in 2023.
1. Chennai Super Kings seem favorites to win IPL 2023
Chennai Super Kings have regained their mojo in 2023. MS Dhoni can sign off in style by leading CSK to their fifth title in IPL 2023.
