Former cricketer-turned- politician Navjot Singh Sidhu believes Kolkata’s and Chennai IPL teams are the most balanced and strong teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

“Shah Rukh’s and the Chennai team is the strongest if we compare the players on the paper. But I will put my money on the Mohali team to hold the championship trophy as I am a Punjabi,” Sidhu told reporters in the Capital on Monday.

Asked about the future of Indian Cricket League after the launch of IPL, he said, “ICL ka to band baj gaya (ICL has been ruined completely.)” But he cautioned that Twenty20 might lose viewer’s interest after some time with the launch of similar tournaments in future.
