IPL 2018: 4 teams that look likely to qualify for the playoffs after the first half of the season

#3 Kings XI Punjab

Kings XI Punjab will be looking to clinch their maiden IPL title.

Kings XI Punjab assembled a team with some of the most exciting T20 players and are considered strong contenders to win the IPL 2018.

They carried their brilliant performance from the auctions to the field and started their campaign with an impressive win against Delhi Daredevils. However, they lost their second game, which was played against RCB. Nevertheless, they saw many positives in that loss and got their winning momentum back after beating CSK in their third game of the campaign.

KL Rahul, Chris Gayle, and Karun Nair are all in a good scoring form, and their skipper, Ravichandran Ashwin along with the teenager, Mujeeb Ur Rahman is doing a decent job with the ball for the Lions.

KXIP are sitting at the third spot on the points table and, with the batting powerhouse they own, Preity Zinta can ponder her team's chances to win their first IPL title.
