Expect the below odds to change with each passing day as we move closer to Sep 19. However, the general consensus is that defending champions Mumbai Indians are the favorites to win (4.75) and in second place is Sunrisers Hyderabad (5.50).

This means that if you place a $10 bet on the Mumbai Indians before the tournament begins and they end up winning, you get a payout of $50. IPL fans would have expected Chennai Super Kings (6.50) to be in the top two teams to win but CSK have suffered the loss of their vice-captain Suresh Raina who has been a key cog in the CSK line-up. CSK have also been hit with COVID-19 which has delayed the start of their training camp.

The two biggest underdogs are Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals who both have odds of 10.00. No one expects these two franchises to make it to the play-offs, let alone with the 2020 IPL Championship.

If you want to play it safe, put your money on Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Mumbai have a fantastic squad and the confidence that they can win back to back IPL Championships while Sunrisers will be boosted by David Warner captaining the side again.

If you want to take a risk, then put your money on Rajasthan Royals. They have Steve Smith captaining them and they have the ability to cause quite a few upsets when they play as a unit.

The other underdog that you can put your money are Kolkata Knight Riders who have odds of 7. Captain Dinesh Karthik needs to lead from the front and make full use of his top players including Andre Russell, Pat Cummins and Eoin Morgan.
