IPL 2019: Probable Playing XI of all 8 teams with CWC insight 

#2 Mumbai Indians

Rohit should open the batting to increase MI's Chances

Probable Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Quinton de Kock (WK), Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Ben Cutting, Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah, Jason Beherendoff, Mayank Markande.

World Cup Backups: Hard hitting Windies Southpaw Evin Lewis could come in place of De Kock. IPL veterans Yuvraj Singh and Lasith Malinga may not be in good form, but their experience will be handy for the three-time champions.

#1 Chennai Super Kings

CSK will once again be favourites to lift the title

Probable Playing XI: Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (C & WK), Kedar Jadhav, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar, Lungi Ngidi, Mohit Sharma

World Cup Backups: The only team which was ready even without auctions, CSK have again covered all bases. Imran Tahir and Lungi Ngidi can be replaced by Mitchell Santner and David Willey. With Sam billings, Faf du Plessis and Murali Vijay they have more than what they would like to have. Presence of variety and experience in the form of Harbhajan Singh, Karn Sharma, and Shardul Thakur adds strength to the defending champions.
