The tournament itself starts on April 5th, in addition to will run until May 31st, giving us nearly two months of fantastic cricket to look forward to. Another big story to look forward to in the INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE (IPL) is the return of the Chennai Super Kings in addition to \u00a0the Rajasthan Royals. These two will be looking to make a big impression in their first season back<\/a> in the league, in addition to \u00a0they will be looking to challenge the Mumbai Indians, who lifted the trophy last season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With only a small number of players confirmed through the retained lists we don\u2019t know<\/a> what each team will look like just yet, but we do know where some of the stars are going to be playing this season. In this post, we take a look at how the eight teams have set up for this upcoming edition of the INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE (IPL). INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE (IPL) team list 2018 is placed below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Chennai Super Kings have announced their return with a bang in addition to \u00a0retained three huge Indian stars to make sure the fans will come flocking back after their absence. MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina in addition to \u00a0Ravindra Jadeja will all represent the Super Kings, giving them a great platform to build on. With three fantastic home grown players on the team, the fans are going to love them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Rajasthan Royals have taken a different approach, retaining just one player ahead of the 2018 season. However, that play is the hugely talented Steve Smith, who is here fresh after captaining Australia to Ashes victory. Smith is a fantastic cricketer in addition to \u00a0he can lead the Royals to some success with other big names around him, so watch out for what they do in the upcoming auction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moving on to the Mumbai Indians, they enter this season as the defending champions in addition to \u00a0expect them to see make another huge push to win it again in 2018. They have three titles to their name, with wins in 2013 in addition to \u00a02015 to go with last year\u2019s win. Mumbai Indians have retained three players for the upcoming season in addition to \u00a0they have also retained three Indians, like the Super Kings. Rohit Sharma will once again lead them in addition to \u00a0he has the experience of Hardik Pin addition to ya in addition to \u00a0Jasprit Bumrah to call upon. That is a good base for the Indians, in addition to \u00a0they are going to be strong again for sure.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Delhi Daredevils have continued to trust their youth movement in addition to \u00a0kept three players, two of them are younger players who will be expected to contribute a lot over the coming years. Rishabh Pant in addition to \u00a0Shreyas Iyer are the two younger<\/a> players, in addition to \u00a0they are going to be key to any success<\/a> this franchise has, they are joined by experienced South African all-rounder Chris Morris.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Royal Challengers Bangalore have of course retained Virat Kohli, who is the biggest cricketing superstar in the world, in addition to \u00a0he can bring them success on his own such is his talents. He is joined by AB de Villiers, another fantastic batsman who will help put runs on the board with Kohli. Sarfaraz Khan rounds off their team so far in addition to \u00a0they look in a strong position going into the auction. It came as a huge surprise to see the Bangalore team finish bottom of the INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE (IPL)<\/a> in 2017 in addition to \u00a0that is something that will change in 2018. Skipper Virat Kohli will no doubt be one of the key players for the RCB this season along with AB de Villiers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Kolkata Knight Riders have retained two players ahead of this season who will be able to help with the bat in addition to \u00a0ball. In addition to re Russell can bowl overs for them, but he is a huge hitter in addition to \u00a0ideal to come in in addition to \u00a0bat in the final couple of overs for them. Joining him is Sunil Narine, an outstin addition to ing spin bowler in addition to \u00a0one of the best in the world when it comes to T20 cricket.

 <\/p>\n

The Sunrisers Hyderabad have retained two players, one top batsman in addition to \u00a0one top bowler, giving them two stars to build the rest of the team around. David Warner will help their batting get off on the front foot, he is a big hitter in addition to \u00a0can score quickly from the start. Joining Warner is Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who can work wonders with the ball in addition to \u00a0will be one of the best bowlers in the tournament this season. They came 3rd in 2017, in addition to \u00a0it would be no surprise to see them go close in 2018.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The final team to mention is the Kings XI Punjab, who have only retained one player after a poor record over the past few seasons. They need a big turnaround to change their fortunes in addition to \u00a0the only player heading back is Axar Patel, expect to see them being very active in the auction.<\/p>\n

The next big event is the player auction which takes place at the end of January in addition to \u00a0once this is over we will have a better idea about who will be the favourites to lift the 2018 INDIAN PREMIER LEAGU<\/a>E (IPL) trophy. They reached the final in 2014, but other than that their performances in the INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE (IPL) have always been a little disappointing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Last season of the Indian Premier League was undoubtedly<\/a> its most exciting edition since the tournament\u2019s conception. Not only a lot of cricket records were broken, but also the fans were kept heavily entertained throughout the season. We had a fantastic tournament last season, which was eventually won by the Mumbai Indians in addition to \u00a0we expect the same again, especially with the two returning teams coming in looking to prove they deserve to be back. The INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE<\/a> (IPL) Points table will be updated here match by match.<\/p>\n
