IPL 2013: Sourav Ganguly puts his smart money on Mumbai Indi

Sourav Ganguly has said that the presence of a great coaching staff and experienced veterans will make Mumbai Indians the favourites for this edition. "They have a new but highly experienced coach in John Wright, the well-respected Anil Kumble as their mentor and senior pro Ricky Ponting as captain. Along with Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh's experience, you have exciting youngsters in Maxwell, Rohit and Rayudu. They will be strong contenders for the title," Ganguly said.

 Speaking about the defending champions, he said: "KKR's confidence will be really high being the champions. But they also have injury problem. I think it's an even-field." The former India captain had also said that domestic players will be key to IPL success. "The difference between good teams and the rest
is the quality of Indian players because overseas players cancel each other out."
