    Cape Town - On Saturday, April 7 the first ball will be bowled in the 2018 Indian Premier League (IPL).

    16:30 -  Kolkata Knight Riders v Royal Challengers Bangalore

    Monday, April 9

    Tournament favourites and odds:

    Mumbai Indians

    Mumbai Indians have made it a habit of taking home the IPL trophy with three titles. The team has flourished under the leadership of Mahela Jayawardene and will look to assert their dominance once again.

    Previous year position: Winners

    Star players: Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Pat Cummins, Hardik Pandya

    Kolkata Knight Riders

    The two-time IPL champion Kolkata Knight Riders have spent the cash and have bought the complete squad. It's impossible to overlook the quality of the KKR squad the must be considered serious contenders for 2018 IPL title.

    Previous year position: Lost in semi-finals to the eventual winners

    Star players: Sunil Narine, Chris Lynn, Mitchell Johnson

    Royal Challengers Bangalore

    After a poor year, the Royal Challengers Bangalore will have it all to prove in 2018. They were able to bring in the balance needed with recent signings and somehow strengthen their batting order. With AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli, Quinton de Kock and Brendon McCullum, out-scoring the Challengers will be a difficult task.

    Previous year position: Last Place

    Star players: Virat Kohli, Quinton de Kock, AB De Villiers
