The Super Kings Are Now Your Best Bet On The 2021 IPL

Those who like to bet on sports in India will have already noticed the IPL has got back underway. They will likewise have registered that some of the assumptions we leaned on before the break no longer apply. Where once you might have bet on the Mumbai Indians to give a good showing, now it’s the odds on the Chennai Super Kings that beckon. Indeed, if you’ve not yet bet on the 2021 IPL MS Dhoni’s chaps are probably worth a look at Bet365. They’re clear favorites now. 

You have to feel sorry for those who grabbed the attractive odds on the Mumbai Indians bookies used to offer. Back before the break we all thought they were likely finalists. Now, that’s almost funny. They failed to beat the Super Kings in their first match back and that took the wind right out of them. Mumbai are yet to recover. Kolkata battered them and the RCB, with issues of its own, slapped them around too. They’ve gone from a good bet on the 2021 IPL to a terrible one.

Not that they’re unique in this. Who’d have bet on the Royal Challengers Bangalore sliding down the odds on the 2021 IPL so fast? But they’ve put on some ludicrously bad performances. People have even spoken of replacing Captain Virat Kohli mid-season. You’d have considered that unthinkable just a few months ago. Now, who can say? Certainly few people will hit up Bet365 or other online sportsbook sites in India to bet on the 2021 IPL and back the RCB right now.

Big Sides Slide As Regular Season Soldiers On

So must we now bet on the Chennai Super Kings? Well it certainly does look the best option. What else is there? You’ll find those odds on the RCB have slipped back to 5/1, so that’s desperate. Plus, you’ll discover online bookies in India now give the Mumbai Indians an extremely distant 9/1. Whether you consider that generous or not probably depends on how many of their recent matches you’ve seen. So is there no other sensible bet on the 2021 IPL?

2021 IPL Betting Odds

• Hyderabad Sunrisers – 200/1
• Rajasthan Royals – 22/1
• Kings XI Punjab – 20/1
• Kolkata Knight Riders – 11/1
• Mumbai Indians – 9/1
• Royal Challengers Bangalore – 5/1
• Delhi Capitals – 2/1
• Chennai Super Kings – 15/8

Well obviously as some fall others rise. The Delhi Capitals, for instance, have happily moved to occupy the vacuum left by the waning sides. They’re now sitting at just 2/1 to win the IPL, which is way in from the odds on the Delhi Capitals before the break. You can now bet on the Delhi Capitals reaching the finals. They’re showing the right form at the right time. So if you need another option when you bet on the 2021 IPL at online betting sites in India like Bet365…

Naturally, the Chennai Super Kings still get better IPL odds than the Capitals. They sit at 15/8 and rightfully so. They’re on form and have a depth of squad that Delhi can’t match. This doesn’t necessarily mean you can guarantee they’ll win, but they’re definitely the best bet on the 2021 IPL right now. Of course they’ll shift the 2021 IPL odds significantly as the regular season comes to an end and the play offs begin. So if you’re a fan of longshots now’s the time to back Kolkata.  

“The way we have played in the last two games is the way our coach wants us to play. It suits our talent to play this way.”

• Captain Eoin Morgan, Kolkata Knight Riders

The Kolkata Knight Riders have displayed patchy performance but sitting fourth in the table right now, they could make the play-offs. Once they’re there, it’ll come down to good days vs bad days. So if you fancy taking advantage of Indian gambling laws to bet on the 2021 IPL to back a longshot; Think Kolkata. At 11/1 you could do lots worse than a speculative bet on the Kolkata Knight Riders.
