The winner of the season has been predicted before the start of IPL 2026. Veteran cricketers of England made shocking predictions about the winning team of the 19th season of the Indian Premier League. Michael Vaughan said that this time Mumbai Indians will lift the trophy. A team that has never reached the finals after 2020. Another veteran player said that RCB will be successful in defending its trophy.
Michael Vaughan was the first to say on Stick to Cricket podcast that this time Mumbai Indians is going to lift the trophy. He said that MI has not won the title for many years and this time their team looks very strong. Let us tell you that this time Mumbai will be captained by Hardik Pandya.
On the other hand, Alastair Cook said that the Royal Challengers Bangalore team will successfully defend its title. He expressed confidence in the Bengaluru team and coach Andy Flower in IPL 2026.
Wherever Sanju Samson goes, that team will win
Former England batsman Phil Tufnell initially said that Royal Challengers Bangalore can win the IPL 2026 title. But later he said that where Sanju Samson has gone, the same team i.e. CSK will win. According to Tufnell, Samson will prove to be the X-factor for Chennai Super Kings this time.
Talking about Royal Challengers Bangalore, difficulties seem to be increasing for them. Star fast bowler Yash Dayal has been ruled out of IPL 2026 due to personal reasons, on the other hand, Josh Hazlewood will not be able to play in the first few matches due to poor fitness. Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are the only two teams to have defended their IPL title so far. Now RCB would also like to get its name registered in this special list.
