Strengths: The defending champions retained 22 players, most by any team this season. Their plan is clear, retain the core and win again. This might be a good strategy as well.

The team has a good mixture of both young and experienced players. Ambati Rayadu, Suresh Raina, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be the backbone of the batting unit.

The bowling department will be in the trusted hands of Dayne Bravo, Shardul Thakur, and Lungi Ngidi and Mohit Sharma. The team will also be boosted by the return of Mitchell Santner, who will share spin duties with Harbhajan Singh and Imran Tahir.

Ad

Weaknesses: The team was underestimated last season due to aging players but proved the critics wrong. However, the age factor might haunt the team this season.

The team looks very strong on paper and has got all the bases covered. Due to this, the yellow-army will again start as favorites in next season.
