Drawling a line somewhere around the middle is a safe way to sit on the fence and to say that Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Rajasthan have got squads which look a mighty strong threat wouldn't be wrong.
Punjab too gives them a tough fight to sneak in. Another keeper in the ranks and they would have made it there. Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata though seem iffy. But mind you, these are the Cricket Betting Tips Free sides who know to win championships, multiple times.

Dwayne Bravo (Chennai Super Kings)
There is always a puzzlement in T20 cricket as far as team combinations are concerned, whether to go with the seven batsmen - four bowlers combination, or with a surplus batsman in the playing eleven.
That is the reason why the teams opt for all-rounders in their side to provide much-needed stability, giving them sufficient batting depth and an extra bowling option as well.Here are the best all-rounders from each IPL side, on whom the teams will lean on in the 2018 season.
