The extravaganza of cricket Indian Premier League is going to start today at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai where the five times IPL Champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore who are looking to clinch their first trophy.
Before the onset of IPL 2024, slated to begin on March 22, cricket pundits Brett Lee, AB de Villiers, and Aakash Chopra participated in a session titled ‘Cricket Insiders’ sponsored by Jio Cinema at the News18 ‘Rising Bharat Summit.’ During the discussion, they picked the team which is likely to win the IPL trophy.
Lee who has already won the IPL trophy playing for Kolkata Knight Riders back in 2012 has picked Royal Challengers Bangalore as the right contender to win the trophy. He recognized Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as perennial favorites for the title owing to their formidable squad. However, the former World Cup winner expressed a strong conviction that this season could be the one where everything aligns perfectly for them.
“I was going through the list of teams, and I actually think that RCB has a very good chance this year. I will be backing them. They arguably have had the best side for a number of years. But, there’s maybe a different way that they are playing. There are a lot of superstitions in India. With the team changing its name, and the color of the jersey, this might just be their year,” Lee said.
