5 Days have gone, we might a fair idea about the teams. Here's my thought
Kings XI Punjab- Probably the only way they will win any match is by a one-off individual performances. Such as a great innings by Gilly, or the likes of Valtharty(insert name)
KKR- Have good squad depth but lack any composure and have always shown to crumble under pressure. Again rely on individual brilliance from their impact players at least in batting.
Pune- Great spin bowlers, good captain. But lacks the firepower at opening batting.
Mumbai Indians- Good all round team, with the best bowling unit. But lacks a bit of stability with their batting order.
DC- Arguably the weakest batting team in this IPL. But can be provided with early breakthrough with Steyn.
RR- Never good on paper but properly the best functional team with each person having a specific role instead of having star players. Home Comfort
CSK- Past winners. Have a good number of players who can bat and bowl. But the lack of form of their Indian batsman is a concern.
DD- Looks good on paper and have good batting lineup. But a lack of spinners and slower bowlers is a major problem.
RCB- AVB+ VK+CG are in form players. Have good legends as their spin bowlers. However concern to their other batsman such as Tiwary and Pujara have yet to show much.
