The two teams making their debut - Rising Pune Supergiants and Gujarat Lions - are certainly going to bring a lot in the tournament, given that they have built their team from scratch.


Considering the squad of the Lions, they have got themselves an impressive line-up which features some of the stars from the recently concluded World T20. Headed by Suresh Raina, he will be playing side by side with the likes of Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja and Aaron Finch.


However, the team from Pune isn’t too far behind either as it is led by the iconic captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Pressure will be on him to perform with his new side, as he starts his campaign with Pune in the coveted Maharashtra Derby against Mumbai Indians on Saturday evening.


Match 41: Royal Challengers Bangalore Vs Mumbai Indians - Tarot Tips (11th May 2016)
This is a tough game to judge as both teams appear to put themselves in troublesome positions. The Royal Challengers will need to be careful of not creating self-imposed restrictions which stifle their position in the game. They will need to really improve their bowling, especially as Mumbai bat quite sensibly. Mumbai too may find themselves in a tight spot which can only be sorted once they re-strategise. A tight call as too many flaws will come to the forefront from both teams.
Tarot Advantage: Mumbai Indians

Moving on to Delhi Daredevils, they have had an incredibly disappointing season last year. Keeping that in mind, they completely shuffled their squad and have invested heavily. Zaheer Khan will be leading the men, and their bowling attack looks intimidating with names like Nathan Coutler-Nile, Imran Tahir and Carlos Brathwaite.


Kings XI Punjab are the only side who ended below the Daredevils in 2015. They haven’t invested that heavily, and their big picks include Kyle Abbott and Farhaan Behardien.
​

The IPL tips for Sunrisers Hyderabad don’t appear to be in their favour, as their top buy Yuvraj Singh is out of the squad for two weeks due to injury. Looking to get a top four finish this time, their new member Ashish Nehra will certainly bring a lot of experience to the bowling.
​

Knight Riders finished fifth last season, but it will be interesting to predict how they perform in this year’s IPL. They have invested in the all-rounders department, with Jason Holder and John Hastings being their big buys.

​
Royal Challengers Bangalore finished at the third place last year, but they do look strong to go the distance this time around. With Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and Shane Watson in the line-up, the other teams need to be on the lookout for this.
​

Lastly, the defending champions Mumbai Indians will be pleased with their batting line-up, which includes Rohit Sharma and Lendl Simmons. However, the bowling section dealt a blow when Lasith Malinga was ruled out for selection. With pressure falling on Jasprit Bumrah and Mitchell McClenaghan, they will certainly entertain the fans. 


Currently, the Royal Challengers Bangalore begin favourites to win the title but things could change as the competition begins with the Mumbai Indians quite close on their heels.
