I don't have any favourites. All teams are equally capable to winning the trophy. But, i have a feeling that a new team will win this year too.
Last year, it was Royal challengers Bengaluru winning the trophy for the first time.

Delhi Capitals, Lucknow Super Giants and Punjab Kings haven't won the title yet.

I am looking forward to nail-biting finishes. Lots of power-hitting and excellent bowling spells.

Question

  • Do you follow IPL? Which team is your favourite?
  • Who you think will take the first hat-trick of this 19th edition of IPL?

10 years of supporting Chennai Super King! Primarily, it was because of the legend - MS Dhoni - and now, I just can't betray my team. I might have betrayed CSK for KKR, back in 2023 when Rinku Singh hit 5 sixes, but nah. Still my favorite watch from IPL, in recent years.

Being a Pakistani, I love to watch IPL, although I have to watch it on my laptop. I guess, I will be watching both on the parallel. Thanks to the absurd politics 🥲.
