The Indian Premier League has been a superb cavalcade of cricket. It might have shifted a long way from home but the quality hasn’t diminished. At present, it’s the Mumbai Indians leading the table and the odds on the 2020 IPL winner. Online sportsbook sites in India give them 9/4 to come out victorious. However, the season is far from over and the Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Delhi Capitals are hard on their heels. Can Rohit Sharma lead his side to victory again? “The kind of cricket we are playing gives us a lot of confidence.” Sharma allows. “It’s important to have momentum with us.” He’s not wrong. Sitting at the top of the Indian Premier League table his Mumbai Indians are favorites. The odds on the 2020 IPL winner favor them ahead of teams playing exceptionally good cricket themselves. This is by no means a walkover for the Indians. Something Rohit Sharma is willing to nod towards when speaking to the members of the press. “We did everything right,” He said after a recent win. “But there are still some things we can improve on.” He smiles alluding to the obvious. “Chasing has been difficult in this tournament.” And it has. Teams with good closing batsmen definitely have an advantage. Shutting it all down at the crease has proven very effective. It makes those sides a far better bet on sports in India than those whose tail end falls apart. Mumbai are yet to really find that man but still lead the odds on the 2020 IPL winner.

Mumbai Top Table And Get Shortest Prices

KL Rahul, meanwhile, is having less fun. Despite being the highest run-scorer by quite some way. The Kings XI Punjab, the team he captains, have only won one match in seven games. That’s appalling. It’s placed them top, not of the odds on the 2020 IPL winner, but in the odds on finishing bottom. They get just 2/5 to be the wooden spoon holders come to the end of the tournament. In a must-win situation every game now, it looks a very safe bet on the IPL this year.

Indeed that’s a slightly more sensible bet on T20 cricket than trying to pick a winner. The top of the table is close, and so are the prices at the bookies. The Royal Challengers Bangalore are 3/1 in the odds on the 2020 IPL winner at online betting sites in India like Bet365. That’s the same as the Delhi Capitals are getting and only a fraction behind the Mumbai Indians. Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers keeping them well and truly still in the game. There’s still everything to play for.

Of course, there are four teams that go into the knockout stages. At present with the Indians, RCB, and Capitals looking pretty solid, the fourth place is a little more unpredictable. It looks right now like it’ll be the Kolkata Knight Riders. They get 5/6 to make the final phase. This is a rather stark contrast to the 8/1 they get in the odds on the 2020 IPL winner book. However, that knockout stage has proven a crapshoot on several occasions. So, they’re still in with a chance at the trophy.

Bottom Team Odds

Delhi Capitals – 100/1

Royal Challengers Bangalore – 100/1

Mumbai Indians – 100/1

Kolkata Knight Riders – 14/1

Chennai Super Kings – 7/1

Hyderabad Sunrisers – 5/1

Rajasthan Royals – 9/2

Kings XI Punjab – 2/5

“I think every captain has a day like this, where everything doesn’t go to plan.” Dinesh Karthik, the KKR captain said after a recent defeat. “And it’s one of those days for me. I don’t want to read too much into it.” And it’s probably wise he doesn’t. They’re not out of this yet. Of course, any Indian gambling laws of probability don’t slant this Mumbai’s way isn’t paying attention. Rohit Sharma is on the hunt for another title and the odds on the 2020 IPL winner favoring his team speak for themselves.
