Today there will be crores of cricket fans whose favorite team is out of the title race. Mumbai and Chennai were the 'favorites' of crores. Now, who will the fans of Chennai and Mumbai support or any other team that is similarly out of the title race? Now who will he choose as a strong contender for the title? To find the answer to this question, let us discuss the biggest strengths of these four teams.

What is the biggest strength of Kolkata Knight Riders?

After the league match, Kolkata Knight Riders are on top in the points table. So first of all let's talk about Kolkata. Kolkata team is the most 'consistent' team of this season. The biggest proof of this is that they are the only team with 20 points in their account. This team had to face defeat in only 3 out of 14 matches. Kolkata lost 2 matches due to rain, otherwise this team could have scored more than 20 points. This season, Kolkata team has entered the field with a changed strategy. Gautam Gambhir is very active as a mentor of the team. He has made excellent use of Sunil Narayan's all-round skills.

When Gautam Gambhir was the captain, Sunil Narine had opened. Gautam Gambhir gave him the same role again in this season. Sunil Narine has scored 461 runs in 12 matches this season with an economy of 182.94. He has also scored one century and three half-centuries in this season. Apart from this, he has also taken 15 wickets with an economy of 6.64. Apart from Andre Russell, captain Shreyas Iyer in the middle order, Varun Chakraborty and Mitchell Starc in bowling, Rinku Singh as a finisher is the big strength of this team.

No response from Sunrisers Hyderabad

Sunrisers Hyderabad has changed the history of IPL this season. He scored 277 runs, which is the highest score in the history of the league. After this he changed this history by scoring 287 runs. Apart from this, Lucknow team was completely out after scoring 167 runs in 9.4 overs. This record itself shows the strength of Sunrisers Hyderabad. This team can also have 18 points in its account. But their match against Gujarat could not be played due to rain.

Hyderabad's strength is its fearless batting. The pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma wreaked havoc on the opposing bowlers. Apart from this, Heinrich Klaasen bats aggressively in the middle order. After making a big score, the role of captain Pat Cummins begins. Who do not give the batsmen of the opposing team a chance to play freely. Let us tell you that this season the strike rate of Travis Head is 201.13 and that of Abhishek Sharma is 209.41. Klaasen has also scored runs at a strike rate of 183.17. It is very difficult to escape from this team.

Rajasthan Royals' strength is forward-thinking

Rajasthan team's last match was washed out due to rain otherwise it would have been second in the points table with 18 points. Their match against Kolkata was canceled due to rain. Before the cancellation of this match, Rajasthan team had also lost four consecutive matches. But the mistake of underestimating the team's strength will prove costly for any team. Rajasthan Royals has always been a low-profile team. The biggest strength of Rajasthan team is its vision. By the time other teams made their right combination, Rajasthan team won all the necessary matches and secured a position in the top-4 in the points table.

The Rajasthan team has adopted Kabir's slogan 'Kaal Kare So Aaj Kar, Aaj Kare So Ab' in this league. The team achieved its first feat by winning 8 out of the first 9 matches in the league stage. In the last match of the league, when the tension and pressure increases with every match, the Rajasthan team remains in a very 'comfortable' position. It can also be said that they have the 'luxury' of losing the match.

Royal Challengers Bangalore's strength is confidence

The RCB team has done something this season which very few teams have been able to do. After the defeat on April 21, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team had vowed that it would be impossible to defeat the team after that. Royal Challengers Bangalore has made it to the playoffs by winning 6 consecutive matches since April 21. During this period, they have also defeated a powerful team like Hyderabad. The biggest strength of this team is confidence.

Even after losing 6 consecutive matches here, captain Faf du Plessis says that our chance is not over yet. Here Virat Kohli says that if there is even one percent chance of going to the playoffs then that is enough. After this, the team not only improves its net run rate by 14 points but also makes it to the playoffs by that margin. Let us tell you that apart from Bengaluru, Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants also have 14 points each. But RCB has managed to overwhelm these three teams. Now this team has become very dangerous in the real sense.
