Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are the joint most successful teams in the IPL, with both winning five titles each. And all the legends, except Tom Moody who reckons CSK won’t make it to top-4, predicted both MI and CSK to finish in the playoff positions. Surprisingly, Gujarat Titans, who won the title only two seasons ago, made it into only one legend’s list, who is Sreesanth.
