“The team that for me that has made the biggest strides in the last week or so has been the Sunrisers. Especially with the attack they have, Kane (Williamson) is now getting more into the act as a captain.

“He seems a lot more confident with the resources he has and the batting around him. That allows him to take his time and play the way he wants,” Shastri said on ESPNCricinfo.

“I said at the start that a new team will win it. All three are in the hunt, Lucknow, Gujarat and RCB. So take them into the playoffs and then you can add Rajasthan Royals, who are playing some of the best cricket in the last four or five years.

“And if you want to be superstitious, you want to go with a trend, it’s the year of Warnie. He won it the first time around for Rajasthan, could this be the year where they are playing for him and everything is going their way,” he said.

The Royals are topping the points table at the moment followed by GT, SRH and LSG on second third and fourth spots respectively.
