IPL 2020: Shane Warne picks his 4 teams to qualify for the playoffs

Shane Warne, former Australia leg-spinner and Rajasthan Royals (RR) me❀ntor, has picked top-four contenders who he thin𒅌ks will qualify for the playoffs of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.

Every franchise has played three matches thus far. Delhi Capi✅tals (DC) top the points-table whilജe Chennai Super Kings (CSK) languishes at the bottom.

Warne, however, believes CSK will definit🦹ely make a big turnaround to reach the next stage of the tournament. Alo♕ng with CSK, the leggie pinned his hopes on defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI), who have won one and lost two matches in their campaign.

The 51-year-old picked RR and DC as the next two teams to make it to the pla💫yoffs. Both Royals and Capitals have won two out of their three matches.

“Four teams, Rajasthan Royals. I think it” s hard to go past Chennai Super Kings, they will always be there or thereabouts. I think Mumbai Indians will be there too, they have got a very well-balanced squad and the fourth spot, I will probably have to lean towards Delhi Capitals. DC has got a lot of firepowers so I think they will be the fourth team,” said Warne.

Warne heaps praise on Sanju Samson

Warne was mighty impressed with Sanju Samson, who won back-to-back ‘Player of the Match’ award in his first t🤡wo games and has impressed one and all with fearless hitting.

Samson scored 74 off just 32 balls in his first match🎃 against CSK and followed it♔ with a fiery 85 against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).

The Aussie legend believes that the Kerala-based wicket keeping-batsman will soon barge through the national squad if he maintains his cons✤istency throughout the season.

“I hope Sanju has a consistent tournament this year. If he has a consistent tournament this year, I think you will see him representing India in all forms of the game.”

“He’s (Samson) such a talented player. I have seen a lot of talented cricketers in my time but watching Samson bat in the nets, being around him, speaking to him over the years and now watching him evolve, I mean he is something else,” concluded Warne.
