With the end of the league stage week of the 12th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), it’s still difficult to guess which team is the clear favorite in this season. However, the Mumbai Indians (MI) is leading the charts with nine wins already under their belt.
On the batting front, KL Rahul is leading the table with 692 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 149.86, while on the bowling front, surprisingly, the Delhi pacer, Kagiso Rabada is still donning the purple cap as he has scalped 25 wickets and maintained an economy of around 8 in first 12 games.
