IPL 2019: 4 teams that are likely to make the playoffs

#2 Chennai Super Kings

Shane Watson scored a ton in the IPL final last year.

There's something between with Men in Yellow and Cricket. They do walk in as favorites in whatever tournament they play in. Just like Australia have dominated world cricket, CSK have 'owned' the IPL. They have featured in the playoff stage in every season that they have played in.

A resurgent MS Dhoni would take center stage, in pursuit of his fourth IPL title. One of the most experienced sides in the tournament, they know how to cope up with pressure and win the important moments in crunch situations.

The Chennai based franchise were quiet in the auction as they decided to retain their core and rightly so. Dhoni's men will come out all guns blazing to clinch the double having achieved the same in 2010 and 2011 as well.

Probable XI - Watson, Rayudu, Raina, Dhoni (c & wk), Jadhav, Bravo, Jadeja, Chahar, Tahir/Santner, Ngidi, Shardul Thakur
