Here's a look at each team and the players one should count on to deliver in IPL 2019:
Chennai Super Kings
The franchise from Chennai returned to the competition last year after a two-year suspension and immediately went on to dominate proceedings. They finished second in the table, level on points with top of the table Sun Risers Hyderabad, eventually winning the 2019 IPL easily by defeating SRH in the final. Although their squad is a bit on the older side, with Mahendra Singh Dhoni leading, they have every shot of making it to the playoffs and possibly winning it all again.
Their squad looks solid again this season, as they held on to most of their key players from last year. All-rounder Shane Watson has continued his great form from IPL 2018, doing very well in the BBL this season as well as impressing in the PSL. He will come into the 2019 IPL on the back of consistently good displays and should impress once more. Suresh Raina is another name that fans would be expecting a lot from, especially as he is not expected to be part of the Indian squad for the World Cup.
