Since the first season of Indian Premier League, RCB and KXIP are the teams who look strongest on paper but in terms of performance none of them have played according to their names. Kings XI Punjab has always been in news whether for its bad performance or its owner Priety Zinta. The Punjab franchise had reconstructed its whole team to have some positive results in 2014 and this decision also paid them and the team ended as runner up for that season. In IPL 2016, David Miller will be the new captain whereas Virender Sehwag will mentor KXIP squad.

Royal Challengers Bangalore got the chance twice to hold the trophy and make it into their names but the team could not grab the opportunity and ended as runner-up in 2008 and 2010. RCB will be hoping that this time their dream will come true as the squad consists some of the players who are inform and are capable of changing the result of the match at any moment. Virat Kohli, The Man of the Series of T20 World Cup 2016 will be leading the team. The squad contains big names like Chris Gayle, Shane Watson, AB de Villiers and Samuel Badree.
